Ryzen 5 1600 overclocking issues

[baxterkangaroo]

Im trying to overclock my ryzen 5 1600 in bios to 3.8Ghz at 1.33V but everytime i do the cpu under clocks itself to 1.4GHz at 1.1V, its not throttling itself because it stays stuck at those clock speeds and voltage. Im using a Gigabyte ga-ab350-gaming motherboard.

 

I turned off AMD Cool n Quiet and Precision Boost

My Bios is at version F23 

Overclocking works on Ryzen Master

Reset your BIOS setting and try to change CPU Freq by 3.6 and leave voltage to stock. IF it works, change the CPU Freq again until it requires a voltage increase. 

 

Ideally, you dont want to jump to that Freq and Voltage without doing tests, since not all chips are made equally.

I managed to get a stable overlock of up to 3.7GHz on stock, but once i change the voltage in bios it gives me the same issue.

That what they called "Silicon Lottery". Since not all chips are made equally, some will get a higher clock speed with decent voltage, but some will get a certain limit on clock speed just like yours. If you can't increase more on your chip, then you should stick to what you have now.

 

IMO, i don't see any difference when i overclock this chip, which is why until now, i'm only using stock speed and i only overclock my RAM to 2700 (from 2400). and it seems that this chip is totally not designed to be OC'd, except if you will get the X variant or a much newer generation.

Same with mine, 37.50 multi and stock voltage. to go to 39.75 and 101 on the bclk will need 1.41v or more. Just leave at 3.7 and happy days. Oc the ram to 3.2 with low timmins and stay like that.
