El Dolor

honestly bro it gave me so many heart attacks in the beginning.. could it be the motherboard? could it be the PSU(lol)? but after a while you just start understanding how things work with Ryzen xD. You really need a deep pocket if you want to tinker around these things IMO.. Don't get me wrong tho! Ryzen is dope but when it comes to OC (which why I got Ryzen in the first place) you really need to know what you're doing.

Lower your OC on CPU, try: 3.8 GHz and 3000 MHz-ish... let me know how does that work for you. I had to increase the voltage for the forementioned components to make things work on a 1600x, 4 GHz and barely 2933 MHz. Later on I've decided just to keep things at a steady 3.9 GHz and 2800 MHz because 4 GHz and 2.9k just wouldn't boot always.. (just sharing my experience)

Hi community, I'm having this issue lately.. and even tho I've been troubleshooting for quite a while I couldn't come up with a solution. The thing is the computer can boot easily on the primary monitor without any issues, and once it boots up it shuts down and the picture shifts to the second monitor and it just kinda like freezes (the circle keeps spinning but it doesn't proceed to the desktop) unless I manually RESTART the computer, then it boots up normally on both screens. And if I try to turn on the monitor even when it goes off to sleep on the first try it just doesn't work ~ literally nothing happens, the monitor itself wakes but the picture doesn't come up and it goes back to sleep. I'm using DP for my primary monitor and HDMI for my secondary. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance.

I think both are equally important. But well explained. Still, when you don't do anything you want to be keeping it as low as possible. You don't want to be ruining your processor literally doing nothing. (ALTHOUGH IT'S HARD TO DO THAT). Also, I'd really recommend getting intake and outtake fans. - helps a lot btw. It's hard to say what will work for you. I'm running 3.9 GHz and 2933 MHz ( 3000 MHz ) and it does it's job. I have them way below 30 C on idle and mostly 65 C at full load, barely ever 70 C. I'd go for 3.7~3.8 GHz, 2933 MHz Both should work at 1.35 V.. if not I think 1.3625 V should be the sweet spot. Just don't go over 1.4 V. Cheers mate.

Can you rather get a i7 3770? You don't have to buy a new CPU by all means..

ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS or Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming. I'm using B350 PC Mate atm with 1600x and not so happy with it to be honest. People are hinting that these boards have voltage issues, so take care.

I run 3.9 GHz at 1.35V - 1.3625-ish V on a 1600x. My idle temps can go as low as 18 C, 24 C after a great time of use and I'm using a worse cooler than you are. So, something is wrong there. Now take in consideration your ambient / background temperature as well.. Also placing intake and outtake fans properly (right positioning) will help you quite a lot.

3.7 GHz .. 3.8 GHz. Keep it under 30 C at idle.

Put ram sticks into slot 2 and 4.

Exactly that. I'm pointing out that his has never happened before and it never saved. Now out of a sudden it does. And Windows is updating mobo's as well, very interesting.. cheers for pointing that out.

Weird things started happening. Not sure if it's supposed to be like this but it seems that the Ryzen Master Application actually started saving the OC... Is there anyone who can try this out and confirm as well please? I am using 1600x and B350 . I've been booting up a few times already and the OC never dismissed. When I say BOOT I literally mean turn the computer off / unplug it or w/e and turn it back on. The temps are fine on air around 22 C.. 3.9 GHz OC and 2933 MHz 16 GB RAM. I would like to hear your experiences with this now. Cheers.

Actually.. if you look at the bigger picture here, it probably is. why? voltage is fine. temps are fine and most importantly the performance is fantastic.

Do 2600 RAM and whichever works. My current one is 3.6 GHz and 3000 MHz (2933). Works fine.

That sounds fine. So either 3.9 with 2667 or 3.8 with 2800. Both should work fine I guess. I'd recommend you the second option as of just recent information, we might be actually damaging our mobos with such voltages, as it's atm in my case. Can't overclock anymore atm.. and last night I was fine running 4 GHz with 2800...
