How to overclock AMD's awesome Ryzen 5 2600 to 4.1GHz 

agreed!

Nice pfp

yeah whoever said that is fucking stupid. OC is always going to be a preference and someone shouldn't tell you to never oc unless your hardware will either not allow it or is unstable

@@leni1969 exactly AMD actually markets how overclockable their CPUs are

Same man

@Big Stonks i got u its tech deals right 😁

Remember that suffering stems from desire :)

lmao this comment is amazing

If i can oc it, i will oc it

NayTheHorsee same here but i had an optiplex with the non-k 3770

I have my 3770k OC'd at 4.5 ghz . Been like that for 8 years. Sorry to see the trouble mine was easy peezy. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 on another computer trying to oc which is why Im here.

I know! The 2600 must be an insanely popular CPU!

@@CrazyTechLab i just overclocked my 4year old pc with ryzen 2600 yesterday for the first time big thanks

can you please share the core speed and voltage you used? Thanks

Mate. What is your profile picture.

How do I save this now because eventually it goes back to 3500 for me

You deserve it dude,you explained it well!!

Im here for the my first video and you are almost 300k views. congrats on the growth and keep up the good work.

what heatsink are you using?

​@@billybobbob3003 Congrats him instead posing irrelevant and dumb question. He already mentioned what cooler he is using.

Thank you for your work it was my first guide to OC my R5 2600, helped me a lot, cheers.

Whats the memory control for your ram?

doesnt work on my ryzen 2600 all of em are different some overclock good some dont overclock for shit

Challenge accepted!

@@ernestosalas6820 I am using the stock cooler and at 4Ghz it is jumping up to 80 degrees almost instantly.

Nice! Good boost for an old CPU!

i hit 4.2 and tested fine in ryzen master but run a few cinebench runs and its toast, runs fine at 4.15 at 1.425v 59c tho in master but hitting 70c's in r20

i got the same 4.1 for 1.35v max temp for me was 56°

@Struc1d yes

@Struc1d 4.1 ghz 1.35 is better than 1.425mv !! Its safe

Make a video of it please, showing everything you did. Cheers

True, but this is designed to be an easy introduction that gives a safe ballpark figure for a starting point for someone that's never done it before. 1.425V is easily achievable using reasonable cooling at 4.1GHz, which was achievable on the 2600, 2600X, 2700 and 2700X I have, and again, I'm not saying that's what people should use 24.7. 4.2GHz is out of reach for many no matter the voltage. Similarly, some may not even get to 3.9GHz using your voltage and will go through hours of failed stress tests starting low. It doesn't matter which way round you do it at the the end of the day as long as your voltage and temps aren't too high and try to reduce them as much as possible based on your own cooling setup. Both methods will likely achieve the same result and for short term testing AMD has stated 1.425V is perfectly safe and CPUs actually reach higher than this during boost too.

@@CrazyTechLab see now that's the statement I wanted to hear in your video more clearly. My concern is that the target audience for a video like this is inexperienced overclockers who may simply be satisfied with a first try stability but its important to seek out that minimum requirement for the longevity of the hardware. Thanks for your video and input.

@Hadi Malek The overclock in Ryzen Master is for as long as the PC stays up, if you close the program or shut it down, it goes away... Create a profile that way you can just open Ryzen and hit the profile and apply it... Is better like this, because is there for when u need it and not at full power even when its idling...

@DonAngel13 if we close the ryzen master application will it dtill be in oc or we have to keep the application open

@@g1dn685 The overclock will stay on as long as the application is running (If I'm not mistaken)... Also if you shutdown the PC or Restart it... This is why saving a profile is required. 👍

Same idk

Here's a link that might help you. Apparently it's a normal thing. But, if you change your settings like this. You will not be able to overclock. forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-edc-at-99-on-ryzen-5-2600.3354550/

I run at high performance power options and that is usually the case. Change your power settings to balance or AMD Balance and it would be at normal fluctuating %

Mine is like that

Joseph Kellum I don’t that and it’s still the same?

same bro... is it really okay with the stock cooler? I've bought my processor 3 months ago and I just recently found out that it can be overclocked... silly me XD

Nice!

Put a small fan on the VRM heatsink?

300K woop! :)

Nice!

Is that the lowest you can go

@@CrazyTechLab HOW I KNOW THE VOLTAGE THAT I SHOULD USE ?

Why?

What setting exactly in bios? I've never seen anyone reach 4GHz at 1.2v on a 2600. Mine needs like 1.375v to do that on the stock cooler.

@@camtech1190 Silicon lottery, yours might a chip that doesn't overclock too well

@@lowqualitysenpai6169 lol the offset you are talking about might be the CPU VCORE offset. It's actually not a good way to do that as I set it to +64 and set my 2600 to 1.4v and it said Vcore 1.45 and crashed. Luckily I reset the bios and it started working again

@@camtech1190 Why did you do +64 instead of +0.064, ofc that would crash. Increase voltage little by little and see if it's stable.

I'll be adding more of these once the new studio is up and running :)

Сергей Рюминский my vcore is at1.184v how u able get higher than that?

@@randyorton7300 hmm, i just wrote it in "voltage control"

did you have the amd wraith cooler? or you bought a better cooler?

@@MtPascoaKill i bought aerocool vekho 4 lite with four copper tubes, this is enough for my needs.

@HAPPY CH i may be late but if you still intrested, you need a better cooler than the stock one, the one that comes with it doesnt help with temp after OC

are you sure youre looking at the right temperature. Make sure you arent looking at PTC (CPU) temperature - its basically the max temperature the CPU should reach, 90-110 is perfectly fine. If its your actual CPU temperature, then thats a huge problem and you should probably make sure that your cooler works properly.

Same happened to me

Damn you mustve gotten a good chip. I need 1.29v for 4.1. Is it stable for hours in Prime95? Or how do you test stability?

I thought I was the only one lol. I guess we got lucky.

@@Impetuss I've had it at 4.1 for about 2-3 months now, no problems yet

@@honestwork4800 I have cheap stock coolers and run 4.0 1.2875 and highest is 78 is that good?

@@VccTn with the stock cooler that came with the 2600, that’s night bad under full load

Its clock Speed is 3.4! Thats just top much

Its been 3 months but I can answer it for you. Ryzen 2nd gen cant OC past 4.2 easily.

Do the overclocking through the BIOS

Mine didnt run test with the settings from the video, also not with litle tweaks...so thanks for your settings, the test ran and got applied. Your work seems more applicable to my system and chip

Considering mine hates 4.00 at 1.375v which seems to be a bit if a median fromlooking into it I would say you have.

do you guys get this results with stock cooler? and can i oc this cpu with stock cooler like 4.1 or 4.2 ghz any idea?

@@ichimarugin7351 Not on a stock cooler. My temps are at 78*c on a 240mm AIO so the stock cooler would liquefy at those speeds and voltages!

@@DigBipper188 well in this situation i will go for 9400f. 2600 cheaper and with oc can easly compare 9400f but i cant buy any liquid cooler so best for me non oc 9400f or 8400 build thanks for information

@@ichimarugin7351 I'd still go with the Ryzen. A good AIO isn't too expensive so when you have the money you'll be able to pick one up and change the stock cooler out for it. I've managed to get 3.8ghz stable at under 70 degrees under load with the stock cooler.

really seems like it. lucky i cant even hit 4.1 at 1.425v

Just amazing that it is stable at that temp.

thanks bro ​@@mohb54

@@Ismael-sh9ii welcome bro

What cooler do you use? The one that was in the box

While only pushing to 62C under full load!!

What temps do you run with 4.0 GHz on the stock cooler

lts not really a good idea to overclock with a stock cooler as they become inadequate when you oc

This guy is crazy with that voltage. You never need to go that high

You can hit 4 with stock voltage. If games crash at stock voltage then up it in small .025 increments until it doesn’t crash anymore

@@nicolaswalton9453 That's what I was looking for in the comments to confirm. Mine seems to run fine at 4.1 GHz and 1.35V, over 1.375 is risky, especially if your computer runs under load a lot. Do NOT put 1.45V through the chip, there's absolutely no need. It overclocks fine with between 1.35 and 1.375.

bit late but if you apply the same settings in the mobo bios it will stay forever

Bizyal Hey, does AMD have idle option similar to Intel? So for example when it dont get heavy load it only utilize ~50%. Just ordered 2600 few days ago and would be nice to know.

Vas a quemar tu procesador, amigo.

@@Tjecktjeck sorry so late, youve probably already fugured it out haha, the new zen chips dynamically clock themselves and theres not much that will put a serious load on them.

Yes by booting into BIOS and applying the settings there. Its best to overclock from BIOS anyway

Quinton just as perfect!

Nice

I appreciate the concern but a lot of this information is in the video or in my Forbes article - Ryzen Master to monitor and stress test then I recommend using Prime95. This is not a dangerously high overclock by any means. I've tested over 30 X370 boards and 15 X470 boards and none have had any issues using this voltage. In fact, most Ryzen CPUs will actually boost to 1.45V at stock speed and AMD claims that 1.45V should only be used for temporary overclocks so I always use 1.425V as a maximum and this has, as I say, been well within limits on over 45 boards I've tested for bit-tech.net and Custom PC magazine. I wouldn't have recommended these settings without thoroughly testing them across a range of motherboards and CPUs first, which is a lot more testing than most other journalists do.

My stock 2600x regularly goes above 1.45Vcore. HWmonitor shows a max CPU VCORE of 1.515V; probably in really short bursts to reach the occasional 4.25GHz PBO.

the cpu vcore you mean is the voltage deliver from motherboard before regulation from vrm's, is always higher than SVI2 TFN, which is the real voltage than your cpu get (after regulation). temps only show how long you can go, 1.45v is not excesssive until you have a really good cooler

same

Mine too. Whats your voltage with 3.7?

Yes, from what I've read. It's kinda a late reply but i am gonna answer anyway. The temps will rise quite a lot so it's not recommended.

David Almeida I could get 4.7 on my stock cooler. But I would never have tried 4 ghz because I was already in the high 70s

Yep just tried it was at 4.09 started the test temps went up really fast i reached 80 and stopped it and changed it back to normal

Does your system crash (Black Screen, Mouse and keyboard don't respond, no signal on monitor.) for you when gaming? I had mine at 4.0GHz at 1225V but it keept crashing in games after 7 mins. Reset to stock and I played for 50min without any crashes. My guess is that my Voltage was unstable

@@HulaHoopzz Try to raise voltage to 1.2725... i have this voltage now too beacuse when i tried game with high usage of CPU it crashed... now its ok

@@wolfdude8085 How did the crash look like for you? Was it like mine?

@@HulaHoopzz PC just turned off... nothing else

Ofc

With the CPU under full load the system power draw rose from 124W to 210W. 1.425V is only a starting point though so working back from there should see sub 200W load on most systems.

Pretty good dude!

it will downclock to default min clocks. You can set your min clock from power settings but, i see it completely unnecessary to run cpu at max clock all time.

Enable Cool`n`Quiet in BIOS and make sure your min is 5% in power settings in windows...
