dam i got my vanilla 2600 at 4.4 on air

and im not even breaking 60c.....specs as follows

of course amd 2600

msi b450 gaming plus

16 gigs ram

msi armour 570 8g and my cooler is a deepcool gammaxx gte

i really didnt think id get this much out of it...and yes my room has ac so it nice and cool in here.

and volts are 1.375 ......haven't tried lower yet

Yeah that's not stable.

@JigglyWiggly_: I beg to differ

@JigglyWiggly_: ive run AIDA64 for a half hour and temps just reach 70c

AIDA64 does not test stability well at all, it is very easy to pass with an unstable system. Run OCCT.

Noctua D15?

Aida64 doesn't push the CPU much... I get almost 10c cooler temps running AIDA 64 than I do running one cinibench run.

If it can run several cinebench tests in a row it should be okay.

How is Prime95 compared to Cinebench? I've only ever used Prime95.

Same as Aida 64... I can run Prime for over half an hour on a unstable overclock, on cinebench not even 10 seconds before it crashes.

Cinebench became my default CPU overclock test bench a while ago... If your chip can survive multiple cine bench all core tests in a row its pretty much stable.
