Are you saying 3000Mhz is enough or are you saying I should try to get 3066Mhz?

It would have been way better to spend like crazy and get some capable Samsung B-dies, but I'm always way to budget minded...

3000Mhz is fine, i posted to show you still get high performance at around 3000Mhz, Ryzen 1000 tops out at about 3200Mhz on the RAM and the diffrence between that and 3000Mhz is probably only about 3 or 4% so don't worry too much about it :)

Ah ok, I though the thing to aim for was 3600Mhz CL14, but I guess that is more for bench performance than actual real world stuff and gaming.. :)

On a more serious note, this 1600X seem pretty capable at just over 1.2v :D

3600Mhz just isn't doable on Ryzen 1000, the IMC can't take it, even Ryzen 2000 with a stronger IMC will struggle to achieve that.

However, 4Ghz at 1.2v is impressive, i think the X chips are higher quality binned silicone, i cannot get mine to 4Ghz, it tops out at 3.975Ghz and that's with 1.46v, not viable long term, at 3.9Ghz i have it at 1.41v, that's about the safe limit 24/7.

I'm impressed with your chip.

4.2Ghz? damn that's good chip, leave it like that an go about your daily computer use, see if it sticks.

My Timings are 16-17-17.

You think so? I've never been too lucky with the silicon lottery :(

Would you say 1.4v is safe to run 24/7? Just doing that Cinebench run shot the temps up to 63°C..
 
humbug said:
I've run mine at 1.4v since day one, about a year, anything upto 1.425v is safe, this according to AMD.

63c is fine, 70c is the safe long term limit.

Ok, thanks for all the info. I'll see how stable it is and if it turns out that it isn't then I'll go back to 4ghz with the lower 1.2v.

I'll see if I can play around with the memory speeds and tikings a bit later :)

Ok, let us know how you get on :)

Been at it for the last few hours and I have come to realize that the platform struggles to overclock both the cpu and memory together. If I leave the cpu at stock speeds I can get the memory running at 3200Mhz CL16, but the pc will crash the moment I increase the cpu clock.

I am currently testing 3000Mhz (15-16-16-30-1T @ 1.365v)..

Are you able to keep the CPU overclock with around 3000Mhz?

Yes, I am currently running 4Ghz at 1.225v on the CPU and 3000Mhz (15-16-16-30-1T) at 1.36v on the memory.

I think instead of faster memory I will try to get tighter timings at 3000Mhz while aiming to stay at 4.2Ghz on the cpu.

That is, if it's possible... ;)
