Ryzen R7 2700X Beginner Overclocking Guide: an 8-core bargain in the fast lane

At this point I recommend starting Prime95 under this configuration and should now run instead of CPU-Z, but HWInfo or HWMonitor. Now it’s not just about the clock speed, but above all about the temperatures of the CPU and the voltage converters! Then let’s take a look at the results in terms of temperatures (the room temperature was 23 °C).  So we start HWMonitor and Prime95:

We select the “In-place large FFTs” setting and click OK

Prime95 after approx. 4 min (CPU in package 66 °C and MOS at 75 °C)

After approx. 8 minutes we already reach a peak with Prime95, the CPU now pulls in the package approx. 180 watts and temperatures go up to 85 °C (CPU) and 103 °C (MOS). Border experience.

This is the perfect opportunity to get real juice out of the socket. How do we do that? It’s easy, we’ll turn the GPU on by starting Furmark and doing a GPU stress test. Now the waste heat of the GPU comes into play, as the radiator sits at the top of the housing and the warm air (attention now comes physics) rises upwards and full pipe – from the two fans – is pressed through the radiator. This will be noticeable on the thermometer!  It now runs Prime95 and Furmark as 800 x 600 windows with 8x MSAA stress test;

Furthermore I started HWInfo, here you can see the differences between HWMonitor and HWInfo! Prime95 after approx. 30 min in comparison (additionally with FurMark) produces 74.1 °C for the CPU and chases the MOSFETS of the voltage converters to 90 °C!

According to HWMonitor, my Ryzen 7 2700X with a maximum clock speed of 7044 MHz is probably the fastest Ryzen 7 2700X CPU in the universe and two of my case fans want to put my computer into geostationary orbit soon! 19,640 rpm? HWMonitor reads weird things here.  Let’s take it for the gallery and the social networks to boast!

Joke aside, the school lesson is over! What was in the peak now? CPU max. 90 °C, MOS max. 107 °C, the voltage in the 1.412 volts, CPU Package Power max. 180 watts, GPU max. 71 °C at max. 226 watts. Can you leave like that – run and suck.

Interim conclusion for overclocking of the Ryzen 7 2700X

The Ryzen 7 2700X runs stable on all pots at 4.2 GHz and temperatures are still acceptable under extreme conditions. Some people here will look somewhat critically at the MOS, which go up to 107 °C here. Yes, that’s quite warm, but the voltage converters go there up to approx. 115 °C without throttling the CPU. Almost all grip on the ship! Due to the airflow in my case and the fact that I have no room for another fan only for voltage converters, I can live with it. Unfortunately, I had no luck with the CPU lottery and so far all attempts to set the voltage at 4.2 GHz on<1,4 Volt zu drücken, kläglich in Systemabstürzen geendet. Maybe some body here was more lucky, then let me know in the forum.
