Overclocking Ryzen 1700

[Be Healed in Jesus Name!]

So i am able to get a solid 3.98mhz @ 1.42v... stress test fine... 

 

i can boot into windows in 4.0 and 4.1 but its not stable 

What do I need to do to make it stable?

I have a had a stable O.C @4.0mhz before and

reset cmos i lost all my settings..

3.98mhz is just not 4.0mhz YOLO

 

I do not need to hear well "CHIp Lottery" or anything like that..

have you tried lowering the voltage?

 

because other than that there isnt much id suggest that you can do.

Either raise your voltage or reduce your overclock and voltage.

I dont feel comfortable after running @1.4v for a few months, dropped back to 1.325v for long run

well you can TRY to SHOVE more voltage at it and see if that works or you can try screwing with the LLC, but it may just be those words you don't want to hear, hell I can't get mine stable past 3.8 Ghz without attempting to shove way more voltage then I'm comfortable with at it, I wouldn't even dare shove 1.4 volts at a modern CPU, let alone more. personal advice, dial it back to 3.8Ghz and drop the voltage WAY WAY WAY down.

lowering ? usually raising the voltage is needed .. other overclockers ive seen usually hit it between 1.42v and 1.45v. 3.50 i do at 1.40v its literally right there ...

i have a stable 3.98 mhz or mostly stable ... 3.925 and 3.950 are very stable ... I am wondering really what other settings should i try and mess with to increase the stability. my Temps ARE GREAT on custom water cooling loop! I am trying to get it where temps are my only concern and I can go to 4.1 or 4.2

there is allways the issue of powerthrottling due to VRM. not every VRM likes going all in and then gets a tad hot before crashing. 

 

and if you do 3,5 at 1,40 volts you are defo running into powerthrottling issues.

up to 1,42 volts is still considred safe. 

 

the issue is more that not every board can handle that much powerthrougput

1.55 is still safe ... i usually check it till its red... every board is a little different... mine lets you go WAY higher then the chip will probably allow for... 1.40v is really decent for 3.95mhz temps are still really good ... BACK to my original question .. How do I make it more stable !!! @LinusTech would have the answer or Anthony.

that is lethal voltage. like it will kill the CPU

 

1,45 is starting going into degrading in a couple of years before dying.

it would be attempting many different voltage settings, its not pure: "higher is better"

1.55V absolutely isn't safe. 1.45V is at the point where daily usage can start degrading the CPU, 1.55V can wreck your CPU.

1.5V is almost always considered the maximum voltage you should do when overclocking, and even then that's not recommenmded for daily usage.

I would recommend staying under 1.4V for daily usage.

1,5 volts is usually dead in 4 to 9 months from what i know. 

 

1,42 volts is the highest for long term daily use

Yeah, I don't recommend going up to 1.5V at all. I usually regard 1.4V to be the highest for long term daily usage.

agreed, but it does determine the chip, the board, and the psu... there are a few factors... but i know i can get it to 4.0ghz ... @probably 1.4300v - 1.4500v. There are other settings to make the overclock more stable. I was just wanting to get some recommendations. After this I will plan to take it as high as I can with safe level voltages...

this guy got his to 4.1mhz although his voltages are way to high... Gamers Nexus also made a video... Linus also made a video... 

 

this is easily doable if someone can help me figure out the other settings.. 

 

This is my Motherboard 

https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-K7-rev-10#kf

 

I am on the latest F25 American Megatrends Bios

 

I got to 3.9mhz on Vcore alone.

 

3.925mhz I increase 2 other settings,

 

3.975mhz 1.4200v and upped the other two voltages. slipping my mind what they are called  

 

4.0mhz I can boot into windows, but it refuses to Cinebench, but I have gotten it stable before.

1,5V?! Are we at 90nm or maybe 65nm production?!
Those had 1,5V....

Now we are at 1/6th (or 4,5th) of the size of a tranny. 

 

Even 1.45V is on the high side and will degrade the CPU dramatically.

Stock Cincebench was in the 1300's, My new score is 1736, Ram is RGB @3200mhz.. RGB adds to the Cinebench score as we know well

agreed, I want to keep the temps lower and anything above 1.45 it will start to raise it .

 

My loop has Cpu and Gpu in a single loop. 

 

I should be able to get it under 1.45 though cause in windows

my clock is saying 3.98mhz on all cores @1.42v 

 

realistically 1.42v to 1.43v stould be plenty. Hopefully

Sorry pal, didn't win the silicon lottery.

However, one thing I would try is to set the RAM at lower speed, there can be funny issues with overclocking...

Did you overclock using BCLK? That might cause issues too

[Be Healed in Jesus Name!]

no, just the multipler, lowering the ram is not an option.. I want to break 2000 on cinebench and I am at 1736 ... I gotta jump it up!!! i think i might have a shot if i can get it to 4.0 or higher..  i am at 3.975 right now 4.0 is the next tier up. It is just being weird??? my temps are still really low! 

[Be Healed in Jesus Name!]

This not a picture of my bios, its one i found online but these are all the settings i have 

CPU Vcore : 1.41 

VCORE SOC : 1.25 

CPU VDD18 : 2000
