Share your Ryzen 1600 Overclock here

OK, thanks. I'll just leave it on auto, and try just putting '3600' into the frequency box and see what happens and go from there.

I am on the stock 1600 cooler btw.

3.7/3.8 should be doable even with stock cooler.

Just keep temps below 80C. Use hwinfo and focus on the tdie temperature.

See what I can do tonight :) (I'll prob only get 30 minutes or so though).

p.s. Weirdly, after I reset my bios due to the 1.5Ghz bug, my score in cinebench even at the same settings has reduced by about 10. That is a repeatable lose as well. Really odd.
 
Just very casually setting frequency and running benches, not caring much about background apps etc.

Cinebench: 1246 : CPU 3700Mhz @ 1.256V AUTO set and RAM 3200Mhz @ 1.4V C16-18-18-36 1T

EDIT: Actually managed to play Planetside 2 for an hour or so with it like this, and my HD4870 512MB lol. Played extremely well tbh.

Got mine at 3.9ghx @1.356V

Using Team Group Night Hawk RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - RGB Black (TF1D4

Memory is running at full 3200mhz at stock timings (16-16-16-18 I think)

This is using a gigabyte gaming 7 motherboard.

Temps using adia 64 highest I have seen is 79 but I have it with a alphacool eisbear connected to a GPU and there is a large air bubble in the loop which makes the gpu and cpu temps skyrocket every few mins for a second or so going to sort it out when my other gpu block and other stuff arrives next week

On my noctua cooler temps never went above 65 or so

Evening all.
I am really happy with my new Ryzen 1600. I bought the Overclockers bundle with the Asus Crosshair Hero and the Dark Pro 16GB 3200Mhz memory. I didn't go for the cooler, but do plan to get one in the near future. So it is the stock cooler for now.
I am new to overclocking, but I am happy with 3.8Ghz. My only question for you guys with experience, is if a peak of 1.395v is acceptable for 24/7? Average is 1.373v. Thanks for any advice.
 
I can't answer your question on voltage, I hope someone else can.

However, as you have said, the performance is pretty darn good and I am very much impressed in the massive jump in performance from my heavily overclocked [email protected]/4.4Ghz to this.

As soon as they sort out the overclocking for RAM and CPU (without it losing the overclocks or not applying them etc, or dropping to 1500Mhz when using manual voltage), I'll actually get myself a decent cooler and start having a proper tinker.

That voltage is fine. Close to 1.4v is often the voltage needed to hit 3.9/4.0.

Check what the voltage is after vdroop under heavy load as that is the voltage most people report. The peak isn't massively important as it is likely loadline calibration overshooting a bit.
 
Thanks for the replies. I tried 3.9Ghz in the bios with auto settings, but it crashed in cinebench so l left it at 3.8. Temperatures at the time were high 70's so l don't think it was a thermal issue, although l am quite inexperienced to be sure.
I am interested in trying a higher voltage but only for a one off test. I am curious what performance gain it would make, but only as a one off. As it shuts down on auto then it probably will not reach that speed anyway l assume.

Good job :)

I would check your cpu temp as the stock cooler while good starts to struggle as you get to around 3.8 on a ryzen 1700. Also look to lower the voltage which will also help. My 1700 runs 3.7 on 1.22v. Try lowering gradually.

Are you using auto because of a bios bug?

If not try setting the voltage manually. Might not need that much for 3.8.

I wouldn't go above the 1.4v auto sets. So yeh stick to 3.8 at lower volts if you can.

As mentioned above, 1.35+ is a bit high on a stock cooler. 3.7 at around <1.3v is probably the sweet spot for stock cooler.
 
Thanks again. I have only changed the multiplier in the bios as l don't fully understand the rest of the settings. It's something l would like to look into more first. The only voltage changes l have made were in Ryzen Master, and it would achieve 3.7 happily at 1.243v but needed 1.373 for 3.8.
I haven't had any memory or half clock speed glitches since going to 1501 from 1002.
 
Please excuse my ignorance, but l have only been looking at vcore voltage in HWMonitor, which is 1.395v max. Can someone please explain what VID and CPU VDD voltages are and what they should not exceed? Currently .994v and 1.419v respectively. Is the latter reading cause for concern?
Thanks for any feedback.
 
Ignore them.

Also use https://www.hwinfo.com/ as it is has far better support for Ryzen, in terms of voltages and temperatures.

For voltages you want to understand the voltage readings under the motherboard section as your motherboard knows best what voltage it is supplying. The other voltages you may be interested in the the voltage for the RAM and the SOC voltage.

For temperature you want to focus on the tdie temperature.
 
Thankyou for your reply.
What voltages should l not exceed with RAM and SOC? Currently ( l have declocked to 3.7Ghz now) 1.264v VCore, 1.352v Dram and 1.112v SOC.

Those looks like stock voltages. That is fine.

As to what the overclock limits are, that depends on your cooling. With good cooling max of ~1.4v vcore and ~1.2v soc is best is what I would suggest.
 
I want to get some idea of scaling. Using scores from elsewhere of 5.5Ghz O/C's (on LN2) and scaling down to my chip, I see roughly this:


R5 1600 Freq | CB R15 MT | +10% if Pinnacle Ridge improves IPC as hoped
3.7Ghz -------- ~1246 ------ ~1370 <-- My current score @ 3.7 is 1246
3.8Ghz -------- ~1279 ------ ~1406
3.8Ghz -------- ~1312 ------ ~1443
4.0Ghz -------- ~1345 ------ ~1479
4.1Ghz -------- ~1378 ------ ~1515
4.2Ghz -------- ~1411 ------ ~1552
4.3Ghz -------- ~1444 ------ ~1588
4.4Ghz -------- ~1477 ------ ~1624
4.5Ghz -------- ~1510 ------ ~1661
4.6Ghz -------- ~1543 ------ ~1697
4.7Ghz -------- ~1576 ------ ~1733
4.8Ghz -------- ~1609 ------ ~1769
4.9Ghz -------- ~1642 ------ ~1806
5.0Ghz -------- ~1675 ------ ~1842
