Overclocking 3300x

[LeDetructor]

Im currently using a Ryzen 3 3300x  with a B450m Pro4 and a DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 V2,and now im overclocking it.

 

I was wondering how many cinebench R15 runs do i need to run to make sure that it is rock stable

 

Sidenote:will the motherboard VRM bottleneck my overclock?

As per usual - the general advise is - don't.

Enable PBO and let the CPU auto tune itself. It'll either be the same performance as your overclock at lower heat/power/voltage or better performance at the same settings.

Also, the Gammax 400 has shit stock paste so I'd strongly suggest changing it to something good like Kryonaut

Ryzen chips don't have a lot of headroom for overclocking and they barely benifit from it. 

Enable pbo and that'll do.

Also, stability in cinebench =/= stability in everything. If the games/software you use don't crash then you are good.

Thanks for the reply,do i just select a profile in Ryzen Master and choose precision boost overdrive and apply it?Cuz i saw the 3rd gen ryzen overclocking guide and it shows that they tweaked the PPT.And AFAIK theres no way to make ryzen master apply changes when windows startup

Enable it in the BIOS. Also, tune your memory as much as possible - memory tuning is FAR more impactful on Zen than anything you can do with clockspeed.

Enable it in the bios. It should be there.

The memory tuning has it have to do with alot of acronyms thingy.I used an app called Thaiphoon Burner?? to check the ram die and it says samsung B-die and im confused cause the ram i bought is Adata XPG ram which is quite cheap IMO

Its probably c-die or lower, thaiphoon just reconsiging its b-die.

Die Density / Count

8 Gb B-die (Boltzmann / 20 nm) / 1 die

[LeDetructor]

so this is probably C-die?

Most applications are quite buggy and unreliable. Stick to HWiNFO and Ryzen Master whenever possible.

how do i find the die of the ram on hwinfo or ryzen master

[Nena Trinity]

Try CPU-Z to find right info about the RAM! :3
