Hi,

I’ve been running a 3,9GHz overclock on my R5 1600 for a while now. 1,33V with LLC Extreme was good for months, and now suddenly it needs 1,35V it seems maybe it wasn’t that stable as I thought.

Also having some RAM problems, can’t pump it up to 3200 MHz even with changing SOC, RAM Voltage, timings, etc... i’ll just leave it on 2133 MHz then.

Now going go sleep and leave my PC on while stress testing OCCT and check tomorrow if it’s stable on 1,35V Extreme LLC.

What do you guys think, is Extreme LLC good or better of with no LLC? And is 1,35V safe, will it not shorten the lifespan of the CPU? I actually don’t really need the OC, I just want to get the most out of my money.

Specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350 Plus
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
RAM G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GVKB
3200 MHz (Currently running 2133 MHz)

Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance!

Just to add it will be better to use high LLC rather than using Extreme. LLC is like forcing the controllers/vrms to be more consistent so that vdroop don't occur. It will stress vrms lot more as it increases the voltage than what you have selected. Better to add few more voltage in offset and reduce the llc to medium/high. That mobo is not designed for extreme overclocking.
In my oc setting, llc is set to regular for both soc and vcore and I don't need to increase it for stability. Try to be minimum as possible with llc. Another is you don't need 1.10 in SoC to be stable...

I have the same processor and I have mine at a mild OC of 3.7 for video editing. I am on of those that if you don't need the OC then don't do it. I know there are those that say squeeze every bit out of your equipment that you can, but the extra heat and stress on the chip will shorten the life. I have found 3.7 is the sweet spot for mine that allows me to under volt and keep they cpu running at a good temp with the stock cooler. Keep in mind I am a cheap SOB and I like my equipment to run for as long as it can.

Cool man I have 1600x with 3.95 at 1.40 volt. It is absolutely ok upto 1.425v as per AMD. It means your oc may be not that stable. Ryzen platform have some issues still need fix. You may try to update the bios. In my mobo the recent bios helped me to achieve 3.95 at lower voltage. In most mobo 3200 ram is not stable. I do have faced issues even with AMD certified (lol) super overpriced FlareX. So you may try a bit lower docp not 2133 but 3066 or a step lower. I think it will work fine. Another tip for ram overclocking there is a guy in Overclock.uk designed a programme called Ryzen DRAM calculator. Google it. It may help you a lot to get most out of your ram in ryzen platform.

Another is you don't need 1.10 in SoC to be stable with memory docp/xmp preset. Asus by default set it to 1.10 for any docp. However after applying the docp for my ram I have reduced it to 1.05 level and it is absolutely stable.
