MSI just released the new AGESA 1.0.0.6 bios for their AM4 boards yeaterday, if you've not already flashed it, give it a try, it might help you get the ram speed up a bit more.

I am using modified BIOS on 1.0.0.4 ,I tried 1.0.0.6 and it is not stable.I can run DDR4 3600 on the Ram it makes no difference for me in gaming from 2933Mhz-3600Mhz so I leave it at 3200Mhz.
DDR4 from 3200/3466/3600 CL14 and CL16

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

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

YOU DREAM CRUSHER.You scared the frigging balls off me so to ease your mind.LOL.
AMD RYZEN 5 2600X 6-Core CPU 1.300 mV results XFR/Boost 4250 Mhz

I haven't got a CPU not in use, but I think it's the first line on the chip that I'm after. If you ever take the heatsink off and think on, just take a note of it.
Cheers.

Was about to say... If that's a FIXED voltage well no one is running that even on OCN where brutal master got freaking AC unit conecrted directly to hes case using flexi pipe :D
on that note with 1.48 i can see it being stable at 4.4 in light workloads y-cruncher would melt the cpu motherboard case in to basement. Like freaking acid alien blood :D

I'm stuck on 3535cl14 myself spent 2 hours today trying to get 3600cl14 on 1.0.0.6 microcode but always 1 error could use better ram kit :D

Her 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.

In BIOS everything is on Auto settings and actual changes are noted for each video.
(DDR4 Settings are different for different videos but I listed settings in post #1)

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

So basically you're just changing the multiplier and setting the base voltage to 1.3 in bios and rocking out?
 
Yes sir hence the title,seems like some people did not understand how the 2600X works. Basically no more overclocking on just about all the AMD/Nvidia/Intel stuff,it has been almost eliminated altogether.
Overclocking on 2600X CPU/MB so easy it is ridiculous
 
2600(X) look a lot like the Q6600 for this generation - well positioned price/performance and good overclocking potential without going crazy just by changing little more than a couple of settings in the BIOS.

Weird just the way you describe it actually seems harder than it actually is. I enabled PBO and mine hits 4350 all core. Nothing else done. I love XFR!!!!

edit: I also ended up doing a negative offset to push for as little voltage as possible.

Apologies for the basic question...is that by simply just selecting "Game boost" and ""XMP" on the main bios screen?

2600X XFR/ Precision Boost Overdrive = Enabled you get up to 4250Mhz on auto settings in BIOS.
This just means everything in BIOS set to auto,when set to auto you get up to 4250Mhz on desktop.If you want I can post every BIOS setting ,just ask.

I do not use XMP profile because my Ram would never boot at it's rated speed.
♦ RAM - G.Skill Trident Z 16GB DDR4(F4-4000C18D-16GTZ)

I do not use Game Boost either.
Game Boost sets CPU to run at 4050Mhz
Game Boost set CPU fan to run 100%
Game Boost sets CPU voltage 1.30v

 
Your CPU-Z is correct. DDR is Double Data Rate.So 1600Mhz in CPU-Z = 3200Mhz.

EG:In both CPU-Z and HWinfo64 they both read 1699Mhz =3400Mhz
