Hey guys!
I have an MSI x470 Gaming Pro along with a Ryzen 5 2600x.
What voltage is safe to use on that 2600x to get it to 4.1-2Ghz?

CPU cooler: Cooler master Gammaxx 400 (is this a good cooler to OC my cpu?)

Id appreciate any advice thanks!
 
Solution
Well, the voltage people seem to use 1.3v or so for a 4.0GHZ, this video may help https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/8ya7oe/for_the_ones_in_need_overclocking_guide_for_ryzen/

Well..

Two ways you can do this. The strange but quick/ slightly dangerous way is;
Put the voltage the 1.35 and slowly lower it by like .02 until the clock becomes unstable (Crashes PC/ bluescreen) then increase it by .02.

Or, stock everything, increase the clock a bit, when it becomes unstable increase voltage by like .02-.03 and then increase clock more until unstable, and repeat until you get what you want.

It isn't smart to go above 1.35v for a 24/7 clock

do you not have any info on the ryzen 5 2600x perhaps? If I want to OC it at 4.1 GHz what voltage do I need
