AMD Ryzen 5 1600x OC always BsoD?

[Lenny]

Hi Folks,
iam got some Jobs with CPuUGPU Overclocking.
When the OC Goal is about 4100 MHZ, i installed an Ryzen 5 1600x.

It's is only a slight overclocking, but it doesnt matter which Board with AM4 Socket, which RAM, which Cooling System (Air or Liquid) or which PSU is build in. Every Time i get an BsoD. (I tried different 1600x)

Is there no chance to overclock an Ryzen 1600x?

[Kyrosta]

use 1700. i mean 1600x i have is oc to 4125

Few things.

First, case fans DO MATTER, so get a few effective ones in the case (so please take out all those Mortoni)
At least a good 3-4 Corsair ML120 (@75CFM)

Then with a simple cheap 100CFM Air cooler, I got it to 4100MHz stable around 80°C

So are you sure you actually amped up the voltage to 1.5V ?
And you haven't forgotten thermal paste ?

If you play with base clock, don't forget to up the RAM voltage to 1.65V...

Finally if you still get a BSOD, take a screen and share it so we can help, or make sure to understand BSOD screens

Overclocking is very unrealistic in this game unfortunately. I find that the voltage/ratio increments do not ultimately result in a realistic temperature at idle operation, even for Ryzen chips.

You can only OC to very small increments, and never any higher than 500-600mhz in the game. I have not tried custom loops yet, but even with a case with balanced positive/negative coefficient - i.e. two 200mm intakes, one or two 140mm exhausts and a triple-fan rad cooler - overclocking will provide a very minimal increase in performance.

In real life, at least with the many computers I have built with manual voltages (not adaptive Overclocks), you can really push some chips to the limit, regardless of Silicon Lottery. Even back in the days of Prescotts and Cedar Mill chips you could increase clock ratios to crazy peaks.

But, in the end, it's just a game and I doubt they'll change that.

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much for your answers.
I think my 2 mistakes were the installation of Arctic case fans (I think with 53 cfm) and my fear of running the RAM and the CPU Voltage to "full power".
I will heed your tips and hope that the Ryzen runs stable with that :)

You’re always safe putting the CPU to 1.5v and the RAM to 1.65v. Honestly you’re safe to go slightly beyond that. But you will never fry a component at those voltages, and they’re conveniently listed in the BIOS

[Wirenfeldt Jr.]

You can not fry RAM on 1.80 or below currently.. AM4 are totally safe at 1.55.. I think coffee lake is good to 1.60

If you're referring to the AMD Ryzen processors then that -IS- realistic as the current 2000 series of Ryzen processors can not overclock more than +200 to +400 Mhz or so. Depending on the processor. If you're using standard custom water loops like we are able to use in-game.

The only way to get ryzen processors to go to "insane overclocks" is with liquid nitrogen. Something we do not have access to in-game.

So based on the cooling we currently have access to in-game, the way processors overclock in-game is actually pretty close to accurate vs real life. The only difference being that increasing the voltage in PCBS does not increase the temperature of the processors, but it does in real life.
