HardOCP, as has happened to us with the AMD Ryzen 5 1400, has had serious problems overclocking said processor, due to the temperatures it reached.

We have been the first medium worldwide in do the first review of the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 processor and we have been able to see the performance of this good processor, capable of surpassing the Intel i7 6700K without problems, but also, we have detected some problems, especially based on DDR4 RAM, which has given us many problems and in some cases has It was impossible to use the Kingston HyperX Fury game, which was not even detected by the manufacturer. We have seen that overclocking is not easy.

It has cost us a world to reach 4.8GHz and we have only managed to do it through the AMD Ryzen Balanced profile, which has allowed us to go up from 3.7GHz, even so, the voltage and temperature of the processor skyrocket quite a bit. HardOCP has shown a video where they have put the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor to the test and in both cases they have had quite a few stability and even temperature problems, since with liquid cooling it has cost them a lot to maintain the temperature of the processor at bay.

First they started with the Ryzen 6 1600 with six cores and twelve processing threads running at 4GHz and they have used some RAM memories at a frequency of 3200MHz (we have tried everything, but none of the RAM games used have worked at more than 2133MHz ). The processor voltage was fixed at 1.45 volts and level five in the load calibration. Then they moved on to the Ryzen 5 1400 processor, which has gone up to a stable 3.9GHz and 1.4 volts. In a second attempt they have tried to put the processor at 4GHz, but it has only reached 3975MHz and a voltage of 1.45 volts, although they have not been able to maintain it for more than an hour.

The temperature for these working and load frequencies has been 57-67ºC for the Ryzen 5 1400 and 70-73ºC for the Ryzen 5 1600, both with liquid cooling. The problem with these processors is that they have the barrier at 3.7-3.8GHz, as we have been able to verify and after this point the serial heatsink does not support the temperature generated by the processor and the voltage it requires begins to scale exponentially. We had BIOS 370 in the MSI X1.22 Xpower and we have had the same problems that HardOCP comments in his video, with the RAM and with the frequency, temperature and voltage of the processor.
