How do I overclock my CPU?

[redcan0]

Hey everyone, I use my Ryzen 5 3600 on 4.2 GHz 1.1 Volts. However, I do this setting from Ryzen Master everytime I restart. I am fed up from Ryzen Master and I want to do it from Bios. I looked at Bios a bit and there is CPU Clock Ratio and Dynamic vCore voltaje. So I set the clock ratio to 42.00 but I don't know I am going to set the voltaje to 1.1V When I try to adjust the dynamic vCore it goes like +0.018 or +0.100 and stuff so it doesn't become 1.1V which is what I want. And then there is this AMD OVERCLOCKING section in Bios. There I can set a voltaje and Frequency. But I don't know what to type there. Because when I try to type the Cpu frequency there it goes all the way up to 4200000000000000 which is pretty dumb. Anyway I didn't know If I should have typed only 42 and 11 to the values or 4200 and 1100. Can Someone explain how this AMD Overclocking section works? Or how I can set my CPU to 4.2 GHz 1.1V like I did from Ryzen Master. Thanks.

Ryzen Master can be set to load on start up though? It also starts minimised too, so you won't even know it's there. It's a safer option, because if you mess up the overclock, it won't affect recovery mode or safe mode. If you set it in BIOS, well... you'll have to reset BIOS and start all over anyway.

I mean there is no option to save it every reboot. So I have to manually set it after every boot. So I am trying to not do that It is safe and all but difficult to do it after every boot

set multiplier to 42 (multiplier X base clock=frequency)
For voltage it's gonna take some experimenting, set to 1.15v and find Load Line Calibration (llc) set to a moderate value, put a load on the cpu to find the voltage it's receiving, adjust voltage and LLC as needed (you set the voltage over 1.1v because there will be voltage droop, if you want 1.1v at load you need to have a higher voltage set. Trying to eliminate voltage droop tends to cause issues so would not recommend)

Ryzen Master saves its settings into AMD overclocking I think, it saves into BIOS for sure but not certain which part exactly

Unfortunately it doesn't. Is there a setting that saves the settings into BIOS?

should be the "apply on start" function

 

the BIOS does save its own settings right? Rather than losing them after a reboot

Yes, it does.

I can't see that option

Just use the BIOS then. You can't use BIOS settings to create Ryzen Master's behaviour unfortunately, so it's the old way of negative voltage offset with LLC (loadline calibration) set to medium (or if it uses numbers for level, choose the one in the middle).

Nobody asked this yet...but @redcan0 what motherboard are you using (make and model) ?

E.g. ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming .... or Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro, etc

 

Also, what BIOS version is your motherboard on / using?

Gigabyte B450M H with F1 bios version

Oh, some of Gigaybte's lower tier B450 motherboards ONLY have Offset mode for the Core Voltage.

Even the cheaper B450 Aorus Elite or Pro (lower-end / cheaper of the two) had this "simplified" BIOS.

 

If THIS applies to the B450M H, you'll have to figure out what the base Core Voltage is, use that as reference, and go from there.

Also keep CPU-Z or HWinfo open running to see what the Core Voltage is actually being set to.

Thats super dumb and makes no sense. So I can't actually set a voltaje and I have to do trial/error to actually possibly get the voltaje I want?

I'm afraid so...

Refer to this, I've already made it start at a specific time stamp.

Does your BIOS look similar to this?

 

Gigabyte isn't the only ones who does this, though. Even MSi and AsRock does this crap.

Yeah its the same bios

It's not like setting a voltage means you're getting that value at all times either, at least not without Ryzen Master. Ryzen Master's control method relies on using the CPU's internal sensors, while other means of voltage tuning in the BIOS don't and only passively respond to voltage changes detected by the voltage controller.
