So I got my INWIN Chopin upgraded to what ive always wanted apart from the CPU/GPU as I couldnt find a good priced 3400G, anyway its a 2200G APU running at stock apart from the GPU that ive overclocked to 1300MHz, 200MHz above stock and im running DDR4 3600MHz G.Skill Sniper X RAM at 3333MHz Stable on a MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC Mobo, Windows 10 Pro.

Ive been playing around with it for awhile and its been running games like Dota 2 at 1080P 60FPS with settings set to high or just under which I was impressed by, but when it comes to other more demanding games like DBD it slows right down to like 27FPS with settings set to low which I was expecting. Anyway I just wanted to know what others have set there 2200G GPU OC to? and whats there max safe OC? without going stupid. 1300MHz seemed to be the safe safe OC but ive seen others hit 1500-1600 which I have yet to try honestly.

Ive been using Ryzen Master to OC as it wont let me do it in the BIOS at all! but this Ryzen master seems to work perfectly fine so Im happy to use it.

The cooler im using is the Noctua NH-L9a AM4 Low Pro cooler.

As long as you keep the SoC/GPU voltage under 1.25v, anything goes.

1.25V is kind a high for SoC. Try 1.15V for long term use.

The 1.2v guideline was for Zen1, and for parts with no IGPU.
Check this: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/...-guidelines-how-to-kill-cpu-with-safe-voltage
From speaking with numerous contacts at motherboard makers, AMD, and XOCers, general advisement on unsafe SOC voltages is that it begins beyond 1.3V. Conventional wisdom (starting with Ryzen) is that 1.2V is a safe SOC voltage, but we’ve been told by some vendors that Raven Ridge CPUs can reasonably take up to 1.3V, but the suggested input number tends to be 1.2V; this is because, again, the user-configured number and the actual voltage aren’t necessarily equal. Going significantly beyond 1.3V for sustained periods, e.g. 1.34, will likely result in degradation of the IMC over time.
 
Going by this Video I can safely go up to 1.2v but I just OC to 1350MHz and that seems to be as far as I can go under normal Voltages.


GPU Temps are fine on this cooler never see it get over 70c, I think the highest ive seen is 67c so the GPU runs cool, the CPU on the other hand gets warm at around 70-75c on average but I have seen it spike to 80c but thats rare.

I dropped the res to 1600*900 and that gave me a massive bump in FPS in games like DBD from 20-30FPS to 40-50FPS and also got an extra 15-20FPS in Dota 2 as well.
 
Keep in mind that most of the time the Vega 8/11 is bandwidth starved, focus more on RAM overclocking than GPU.

Thats exactly what I did from the get go was to see how far I could get the memory up before it came unstable and the 3600MHz Sniper X memory I got after alot of testing was to set it to 3333MHz anything over that and it would crash so thats what I set it to and left it. Sadly though today when I first turned on the PC it wouldnt boot at all and I found that one of the RAM sticks have died......so sending it back under warranty since its like a week old if that and went back to my back up ram which is Adata 2666MHz which I have OC to 3000 but yet to see if its stable.
