Stability test varies.

Simple one, use Realbench run 15 minutes enough. AIDA64 also can but I don't know how good it is.

Want tougher test go OCCT 1 hour.

Usually i let it run at least 30mins, but u need to keep monitoring the temp, if it shootup really high then need to stop

ok,manage run 20mins den screen turn black
time to increase voltage perhaps

Slowly increase & keep monitor temperature, good luck

What slowly increase ah? I go the other way around

Straight start from 1.4Ghz with 1.45vcore. Work from there down.

Different of confidence way and careful way due to different of experience.=w=

Sorry write wrong. It's 4Ghz.

It takes far less time when you start high and slowly drop the voltage.

4Ghz with 1.45vcore is ok. This is to test whether it can run on 4Ghz.

If at 4Ghz with 1.45vcore still not successful then not good already, continue dropping speed until stable. After that, maintain the speed and drop the vcore until stable.

Thanks for info, will try after my rig get up

I tried once before for G3258, really takes times for speed up and volt up step by step... beginner cries... actually just worried too much for OC

wao nice trick thanks

You tried before with stock cooler? I wonder if it can withstand 1.45vcore? Plus what air cooler now available with am4 socket? I'm interested with noctua NH-D15 but most of it don't have am4 bracket..

Not stock cooler, that's for sure.

Just read up what overclock and voltage people usually get in their reviews and you have a basic idea on the cap.

Put the same setting as theirs see if yours works.

I give up on hoping to get 4.1Ghz, it's tough and vcore is high, no guarantee too.

4Ghz seems to be quite common, vcore requirement varies.

3.9Ghz seems to be one easily attainable.

Keep trying.

goldfries's method are more recommended, because you will want higher voltage that's stable all time, than lower voltage that might cause issue when you didnt expected.
Starting voltage can always refer other experienced overclocker's setting.

get be quiet! dark rock 3 / dark rock pro 3 from dotatech, he said he has am4 bracket.

4.0g at 1.45v the temp just horrible when doing stability test even though im on watercooled, the cpu itself shootup to 80+ degree Celsius

Anyone managed to get am4 adapter for corsair AIO?
How to arrange it?

How much ur vid for 1.4ghz? coz there is statement that commonly the kit which reviewer got is golden chip, mind share up oc result tat chip u got in hand? thanks

Thts kinda insane, water cool still can get 80°C
Sure warm up the whole casing

My casing is very big therefore still ok, 1.45v consume more than 250watt alone

1.45V
WC using compatible AM4 socket already ? what brand ?
