Overclocking on 2600X CPU/MB so easy it is ridiculous

Overclocking on 2600X CPU/MB so easy it is ridiculous,good thing for most people.
Let CPU/GPU do there own overclocks makes sense I guess.


Full Ram timings with 4400Mhz OC CPU

Here is how the video were done using XFR(eXtended Frequency Range AMD overclocking) with Precision Boost Overdrive Enabled,hope this explains it on how it actually works.

2600X XFR/ Precision Boost Overdrive = Enabled you get up to 4250Mhz on auto settings in BIOS.


If you change settings from auto in the BIOS you can achieve an all core overclock with XFR/Precision Boost Overdrive = Enabled to 4250Mhz depending on voltage and temperature.(see video #1)

In Video #1 -I ran Rise of the Tomb Raider,then ran Heaven Benchmark one after the other.Then stopped the recording for 10-20 seconds and began the encoding of the benchmarks I just completed.
With encoding the actual video posted used all CPU cores 100% and the XFR (eXtended Frequency Range AMD overclocking) drops CPU clocks from 4250Mhz to 4150Mhz due to voltage and temperature.



Video #1-Light Gaming/Encoding Stable CPU 1.3V Suck on that 4250Mhz= Precision Boost Overdrive = Enabled with 1.3mv set on CPU in BIOS.


Video #2-2600X 4250Mhz 1.375v Avg BMW Blender Render&Prime95 stable=1,37mV set on CPU in BIOS along with CPU multiplier set to 42.50 in BIOS

Video #3-2600X @ 4350Mhz with setting CPU Ratio 43.5 in BIOS=Default auto voltages in BIOS ,XFR controlling voltage with varies up to 1.48mV max by AMD specifications ,BIOS multiplier set to 43.50 in BIOS

Video #4-Ryzen 2600X All Core Overclock 4400Mhz Default BIOS voltage on CPU HWinfo64=Default auto voltages in BIOS ,XFR controlling voltage with varies up to 1.48mV max by AMD specifications ,BIOS multiplier set to 44.00 in BIOS

For those who do not want to look at video

That 2600X chip must be a blinder :)

4.2 is common, 4.3 very good. 4.4 golden chip

I've not tried properly overclocking (not mine) them but I built a couple of 2600 systems recently and just enabling performance enhancements in the BIOS they boost to 409XMHz with no other changes or voltage adjustment and totally stable.

Please share the batch.

Sorry I am an idiot ,it never occurred to me to copy batch number or even take a picture of the CPU.
I would have to take the cooler off to look at batch number.

Here is all the information I have for this CPU.Sorry it does not help .

Part Number : YD260XBCAFBOX
Serial Number: 9HB0746080081
Model : AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor
Model name : AMD64 Family 23 Model 8
Stepping : 2
Microcode : 0x8008206
 
That's great stuff...... The firestrike CPU is interesting as is 20% higher than a 8600K at 5.1ghz and 4000c16 ram.
That shows how much grunt power the 2600 has. Nice one mate
 
Thanks for the replies.Added to first post .

@Panos
The 4000 Ram only runs to 3600Mhz on the MoBo but I ran those test @ 3400 with timings listed below.

Yes MSI is getting better,I also have Intel system with MSI board and both boards can do 3 way Crossfire/SLI and are solid.
I should say the AMD MSI board is rated for 3 way crossfire but it also do SLI.
 
Looks like you won the CPU lottery on that one, if your still feeling lucky might be worth doing the euro millions ;):D

Is not that difficult with the 2000 series. Even the 2990WX can do 4.3 all core with just PBO activation. No need for manual OC.
Needs a good board, and simething better than the stock cooler.
 
I don't want to crush your dreams but 1.48v is a bit much for Ryzen on a 24/7 overclock.

Maximum safe volts are 1.425v
