R5 1600 predicted overclock?

[nightrider1470]

What's the word on the street for how high these can hit on water-cooling?

One last thing, can mini itx boards overclock as good as larger/standard boards?

Think like all Ryzens, 3.8 almost for sure, 3.9 maybe but might need aggressive volts, 4.0 once in a blue moon.

My experience with a 240mm AIO is that once the volts go up, Ryzen temperatures leap sky high. I absolutely cannot keep it cool at 1.4v.

I would be very suspicious than an ITX board doesn't have as many VRM phases, but that's purely a feeling and not backed up by research.

4.0 requires a bit of luck. Ryzen chips generally hit a wall at 3.8-4.0 which you simply can't get past.

1600X is far more likely to get you 4.0.
