Question Ryzen 5 2600

[tibsy]

I have a ryzen 5 2600 with a stock cooler. In-game the CPU only boost upto 3.65 ghz. Is there any way to manually set it any higher..
Thanks

Thats depends on what motherboard you have. If you have a A320, no, you can't. You will stuck on stock boost clock forever.

But if you have any other model, you can overclocked it easily. Most of times you can get 3.9Ghz or 4.0Ghz without changing anything else. Look for Ryzen Zen+ guide for further help. Don't forget to disable Boost Clock when you overclocked it. You can use Ryzen Master to do it too.

I have Gigabyte B450 DS3H.. and what do u mean by disable boost clock when overclocking.

You want to overclock, right? You can't only increase the boost clock. It's not possible.

You have to disable it and overclock the base clock/multiplier. At least from what I know.

So let me fix my answer. You want to increase boot clock? As far I know, it's not possible. But you can overclock the CPU.

Ohh ok. Thanks

Hi

• Are you using the stock cooler that came with the CPU?,
• When you said it only tops 3.65GHz is this during gaming o r runing something like Cinebench R15 ?
• What monitoring tool are you using (hwinfo, hwmonitor, Ryzen Master)?
• Whats your CPU temp when under full load all threads (for example runing the all core test Cinbench R15? and while playing a game ?

Just to clarify. It's specifified by AMD that Ryzen 2600 can reach up to 3.9Ghz on Boost Clock. But it depends a lot of factors to reach it. Normally it stays at 3.65Ghz almost all the time when CPU is demanded.

Same for Ryzen 1600, for example. It's said 3.6Ghz Boost Clock, but almost all the time it can only keeps 3.4Ghz.

Now I fully understand the question.

Exactly, thats why I asked those questions. Can the CPU go higher?, probably yes, Does the OP have the cooling capacity to not mess up anything while OC?. No idea

Yeap, but not only core temperature, but CPU need a really high and unlikely demand to reach 3.9Ghz too. Most of the time, it will reach only around 3.6Ghz. 3.9Ghz is reachable on benchmark, rendering or modeling programs only. Games? Almost impossible with 6 cores and 12 threads.
