OCAU Ryzen Overclocking discussion/ Guide / Owners Thread

Have plenty of air flow.. have 5 x 140mm fans all blowing outwards.. 2 at the front, 2 up top and 1 at the back all blowing out. The 2 front ones were blowing in but when i made them blow outwards it dropped idle temps by 4 degrees.

Just played COD and load was around 40% on the CPU... temps were getting up in the 87 degree range..

I have an Asus B550 ROG Strix and went into the BIOS but am unable to change the CPU voltage..

 

UPDATE...

Lowered the voltage to 1.2V and now the highest temps are going during gaming is around 75 -78 degrees..

 

Update:

Just installed the Noctua NH-D-15 Chromax.black and HOLLY SHEET!!

Idle temps are now in the mid 30's and playing COD all ULTRA settings temps are now topping in the high 50's..and for some strange reason my GPU temps have gone down by around 8 degrees!!

 

Glad to hear that I also run a D15

 

People just assume that AIO is the only option these days, but in many cases the high end air coolers are just as good if not better. I personally can't stand the pump noise from an aio so air cooler all the way.

 

I have never heard “pump noise” on an AiO. But I don’t buy the cheap ones.

 

They're pretty much all the same

 

OK well in that case I have never heard pump noise on an Asetek AiO.

 

Yeah fairo, we all have different ears and each to their own. I really can't tune out the little high pitched revvy motor noise (PWM is especially maddening) even from across the room, give me fan noise any day. I've had quite a few different types coolermaster/corsair/alphacool and they all do it. That said I have an open loop on my main PC and that's not too bad, more of a lower pitch humm which doesn't bother me.

 

The stock cooler is trash.

My 5600X ran hot with the stock cooler so I put a Cryorig H7 on it, dropped temps immensely, the D15 is probably overkill

Probably install them the right way around too.

 

OK for some reason my Bus speed will not sit at 100 even when under load with my 3600, it only started a few months ago and before that it would sit at 100 but now it is sitting at 98.5ish

I have manually set it to 100 in the bios and even tried 101 but it makes no difference. Any one know why this might be happening?

oh and board and b450 i aurous pro

 

nevermind, appears it was a bios issue, updated and its all sweet now!

 

^ bus reads low if you have virtualisation enabled in the bios.

 

Ooooooooo so I can just flick that bad boy on when it's testing time!

I love you!

 

On my AM3 board, this was an option/feature that I think was called spread spectrum control, and it would vary the frequency ever so slightly to avoid electronic interference and stuff like that. Don't know if it applies to this ryzen and AM4 stuff.

 

Hi All, have a question about stock voltage on overclock. Using PBO to overclock to around 4400mhz all core. Voltage in cpuz showing as 1.41volts under load. Temps are mid 60s. Any issues with running this sort of volatage? In windows it sita round 1.08v normally. Using cinebench 20 or Cyberpunk its all core 4.4 and 1.4v at high 60s. Water cooled.
thanks

 

Perfectly fine. I have seen voltage spikes of up to 1.5V. A lot of monitoring programs can't read the correct voltage anyway. What app are you using?

 

Cpu id..ill.check with cpuid hwmonitor

 

Running my 5800X @ 0.85v as a daily driver. So power efficient!!

 

What all core clocks are you getting at that voltage?
