Question Ryzen 5 2600 tdp,wattage at 4.0ghz or higher

[gasolin]

I finally desided i don't want a ryzen 3600, 1800-1900 of my currency.

I have a ryzen 7 1700 at 4ghz, it's not bad at all BUT i want higher singler core performance and hope for lower tdp,power consumption = higher oc before wattage is the same as my 1700 (HWInfo), which peaks at 160 ish watt.

I got 800 for my cpu, 50 or less to to delivere it to the new owner ryzen 5 2600 goes for 1050 with the division 2 and world war z

I bought one for the games, for lower nm,better (higher) oc,better ipc and because i don't play games where 8 cores is an advantage, i also hope i can keep it at max 150 watt (HWInfo).

Now to my question, i tried to google how much watt,tdp a ryzen 2600 oced to 4.0ghz or higher use according to HWInfo

Does anybody know that? I can't get an idea of how hot at ryzen 5 2600 gets, i do have experience with a ryzen 5 2000 cpu but i cant remember power consumption

At 160 watt (prime 95 small fft)my ryzen get's a bit hot using a masterliquid lite 240 aio with 2x120mm noctua redux 900 rpm fans that makes it almost 100% silent at max load (77% on the pump and it's basically dead silent) and very good temps at low (normal)load.

My Ryzen 2700X runs at around 65c in games like Battlefield V, GTA V & The Division 2.
Sometimes it goes up to 72c but never more.
Anything up to 75c is good but above that it's starting to get a bit hot.
Thermal throttling will kick in at even higher temperatures than this to stopthe temperaturerusing.

Stable overclocking requires more voltage though in most CPU s including these, especially the further you push them.

Run MSI Afterburner and set the OSD ingame to display your CPU and GPU usage.
Your CPU has 6 cores and depending on the game you will find that many are actually only using around 40-60% CPU usage even on high settings.
Games like Battlefield V especially really utilise the extra cores and so single core speed isn't always an advantage as the GPU is doing the most work.

When I play The Division 2 my CPU is around 40-60% usage and GPU at 88-95%.
My GPU is an RTX 2070 and these figures are from trying 1080p, 1440 and full 4K.

I know some games like Assasins Creed and GTA V are more CPU dependent at 1080p resolutions but again the extra cores you have make a difference as opposed to overclocking to get better raw core speed.

it's not so much in games,it's more like worst case senario what temps,wattage,power consumption could be.

For some reason i feel a ryzen 1700 have lower temps than a ryzen 2600x, just can't remember and i feel that's a bit strange since ryzen 2000 have lower nm and when max oc'ed isonly a few 100mhz faster

Using AI Suite you can see voltages, temps, CPU usage in Windows or switch back and forth if you are running another app.
If you want to minimise temp, voltage etc then just change Windows Power Options to Energy Saver.
You might want to use the advanced options to stop your HDD and monitor etc from being turned off after 10 minutes.
This limits the CPU to 2200 MHZ and consequently reduces voltage.

AI Suite has its own Power Saving mode too which drastically reduces power and speed.
You use the TPU tab to load a slower CPU profile e.g. 3200 MHZ which has voltages presets lowered and clock speed.
Then select the Power Saving profile from the Dual Intelligent Processirs tab.

Before taking these steps run the 5 way optimisation so the Suite matches settings to your hardware.
It will likely crash your PC as it pushes it to its limits for the CPU which is normal.
Just start your PC again and run AI Suite to continue optimisation.

It's fine tuning and not necessary for most users but to save power when you don't want in your case the 6 cores draining it for no reason it's great.
The software and hardware with Ryzen CPU s and Intel as well is very good at adapting to demand.
Sometimes people find when the demand is low or idle the CPU is still at its normal clock speed though which is a total overkill.
