Just updated my 2500k to an R5 3600 and starting to push the cpu speed up a bit :)
I had the [email protected] under 60°c on air for around 5 years without an issue, so now seeing if I can't increase the clockspeeds for improved single threaded performance for games (additionally testing to see how quick it will be for solidworks for upgrading the cad stations at work).

Using msi mortar max and a thermalright 140BW, case is wall mounted and open to ambient temperatures.

Still very new to overclocking modern cpus, last AMD processor I overclocked you needed to use a graphite pencil is bridge two tracks on the cpu :D

Currently I've got it sat at 4.4ghz all cores with 1.325v fixed voltage in ryzen master, it's run over an hour of P95 without an issue and temperature is 70°c peaks with it dropping to 60°c on the lower wattage tasks (still 100% load). Idle temps are about 32°c.

Obviously I will try to push the frequency up till it fails (temps allowing - want to keep it below 75 really) then wind it back a touch and see how far I can drop voltages.

Anything I should be looking out for? How far have people pushed these processors on a 24/7, some bits I read stated that they struggled for stability or heat much above 4.2 needing more than 1.4v.

Well your results already show the discrepancy in those "bits you read".

I believe @TNA can run his at 4.6 with perfectly acceptable voltage.

There's lots of conflicting information out there, hard to know what's current. From what I understand the bios updates and later silicon makes them better overclockers?

It's errored on core 12 at 4.475 and also at 4.45 but I've not got any LLC enabled as of yet. I'm now testing what voltage I can get down to and still keep 4.4 stable.

I would focus on the ram/Infinity fabric speed as that tends to give more gains on ryzen than higher clocks.

I'm using 3200 with IF set to 1600mhz, not looked at overclocking the ram but that's on the cards once I've settled on a stable all core overclock.
 
Just finished 4 hours of P95 blend with no errors, 4.4ghz 1.25v and llc mode1 :)



So where do I start with the IF overclocking? Using teamgroup vulcan 3200, do I just increase the IF frequency or do I need to increase the ram frequency equally?

That's an excellent 3600. Mine takes 1.4v to reach 4.4GHz with any semblance of stability.

Heat is an issue for me once I go above 4.3GHz. My 24/7 clocks are 4.2GHz @ 1.275v, RAM @ 3800MHz C14 / IF @ 1900.

Got lucky for once then! :D
I might try dropping the vcore down a notch and see if it holds. Not sure it's worth the extra heat and voltage to push towards the 4.5 for the minimal performance increase.

The machine is in a 43" square walk in cupboard so the ambient can get pretty toasty in there, add in vr racing and it can become a sweat fest in the summer!

I'll have a play with the ram calculator later on and see what happens :)
