I've done a few hours of googling and research already to figure out what I might be missing and have come up empty-handed.
My specs are: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/ https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-2700
G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 3200
Apevia 650W PSU
Latest update on B450-f BIOS
Windows 10 Home on latest update
I'm trying to OC my Ryzen 7 2700 CPU to ~4ghz and it's currently locked at 3.40ghz. It was initially at 3.2ghz stock, and I ran the overclocking wizard which bumped it up to 3.4ghz. The CPU core ratio will not go past 34.00/34x, I've manually entered lots of values between 34.00 and 40.00, but every time I save and restart it comes right back to 34.00.
I've tried adjusting core voltage to 1.350v by using both manual and offset settings in the BIOS. The settings for voltages will change, but the actual voltage never increases, it stays between ~1.000-1.100v, the automatic voltage. This is despite the values under the settings actually changing to 0.2500 offset or 1.350 manual and staying showing that.
I've tried adjusting the line load calibration to both medium and high.
I'm running D.O.C.P. settings for my RAM at 3200mhz, which did successfully overclock and automatically adjusted the DRAM voltage to 1.325v on its own and is running stable.
I'm at a loss for what else I can change since the BIOS is seemingly not allowing the CPU to run at a higher core ratio or voltage. However, I could have easily missed a setting since I'm fairly new to OCing and this is my first time OCing an AMD CPU. Would someone be willing to breakdown the steps I should take within the B450-f BIOS to get the CPU overclock to stick and what settings I need to be looking for?
