Did I get Unlucky?

So i have had the itch to overclock for a little bit now. I dont know much about it though so i was looking up guides and such from people who have the same CPU (Ryzen 7 2700x) and MOBO (Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming) and found one where the guy got his cpu to a rock solid 4.2ghz. i followed what he did, same memory voltages and speeds, same cpu voltages, everything. For me, i was barely stable and couldnt hold the overclock so i had to resort back to my original 4.0ghz base clock. Im missing whats wrong. did i get a bum chip, is my cooling adequate (Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black Edition), is it because im plugged into a power strip?

Try just changing CPU related settings. Core speed, voltage, etc. Don't touch memory until you have a stable CPU overclock. My guess is your RAM is the issue. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

not all CPUs are built the same. Does he even have the same cooler as you?

 

Besides, this board is hampered by terrible VRM for 2700X's power draw, so a VRM fan is necessary.

it's fun to overclock but with the performance and boost feature to 4.3 Ghz.. what % gain is there in any real world scenario?

i would guess not much and a lot more heat to cool..?

 

they say overclock the 2700 but not the X, apparently..

He was using a 240mm aio but even Jayztwocents got it to 4.3ghz on the stock cooler

that's his result. There are plenty of 2nd gen CPUs that can't do over 4.15GHz if not less even with 240 or larger AIOs.

Exactly this. Jay likely won the silicon lottery with his chip, and I personally wouldn't expect a 4.3GHz OC on the stock cooler from a 2700x.
