[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600 OCing

[InfamousYoda]

I am new to the OCing community but I need some help. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 am I am trying to OC it to 3.9GHz all core with the stock cooler. The thing is I just had the voltage at 1.1125 in Ryzen Master and then ran a Cinebench and HWMoniter said that my average cpu temp was 101 C which had me confused because that is the same avage I had when I tried it on 1.375 voltage. I want to run this every day do you have any suggestions I was looking at the TMPin2 on HWMoniter. Is that the wrong TMPin to look at? In Cinebench I am getting an average score of 2900 when I usually get about 2600 on stock no OC.

That isn’t really OCed because when my 2600 is on default no OCed it runs about 3.75GHz boost clocks.

call it what ya want 🤷‍♀️
i just dont like anything that constantly ramps up and down. to me its like automatic trucks gear-hunting when your driving on hills. id rather have a constant 3.6 than having it boost from 3.0 to 3.8 all the time.

True

It will definitely need better-than-stock cooling to get the most.

What I'd do is set a voltage of about 1.375V and start increasing clocks from 3.5Ghz. Run a CPUz stress test for 5 or 10 min's and check temps. If under 65C increase 50Mhz and do it again until it gets to 65C under the stress test or it goes unstable. That would be a fairly safe overclock for your CPU, cooler and motherboard.

So far i was able to overclock r5 3600 to 4Ghz with 1.375, anything over 4Ghz crash Aida64 within 2min. Also temp was at 70c with hyper 212

R5 3600 is 3rd gen...I wouldn't go over 1.25V on one and take whatever stable frequency it gives. Just leaving one of those in AUTO and using PBO with much better cooling usually gets better results and is definitely safer in the long term.

OP's got a 2nd gen, 2600, and that's who I was responding to.

Stock goes to 1.4v

Stock goes to 1.4v

If by stock you mean voltage and frequency left in AUTO it can go as high as 1.5V. But thats when one single core is boosting to max clock in a light workload, not all-cores pulling hard when rendering a video, and it's very brief in duration. In heavy loads it will drop as low as 1.2V to protect the processor.
