Overclocking 5 3600

OfficialKapn · 24 Sep 2019 at 19:11

Hi everyone,
so I tried to overclock my CPU. I set the ai overclock tuner to the manual,
then the CPU Core ratio to 42.00 so it should overclock to 4200 Mhz,
the VDDCR CPU to 1.35V and VDDCR SOC to 1.15 V everything else is at auto.
It booted and everything is working but my motherboard shows OC (0c) Q-Code.
The Ai Suite 3 shows it is at 4200 Mhz and the Cpu Core Voltage is at 1.336 V.
But the Core Temp (1.15.1) shows that VID is at about 1.10 V.
The temperatures are at about 30-40 Celcius when idle.
What did I wrong, why is my motherboard showing OC Q-Code?

My specs:
5 3600
ROG x570 E-Gaming
RTX 2080
32 gb ddr4 at 3200
Deepcool Castle 360 RGB

Thanks

but normally it shows AA code

So I restarted right now it shows AA at the start, but later (mby because I started Core Temp) the OC code comes back.

0C appears to be a reserved code at the moment i.e. unused. Here is a table of Q-codes, also available in your motherboard. manual

Are there any other issues, aside from the Q-code?

So I don't have to worry?

Well it's worth investigating, but if you don't have stability or temperature problems, it should be fine.

I would contact Asus and ask if the code has an assigned meaning now, and run some stability testing

So I ran a couple of benchmarks and everything runs stable so far.
I'll probably contact support later.
Thank you so much
