Ryzen Overclock Question

[kmdays]

hello guys i have my ryzen 3600 overcloked to 4.2ghz and voltage lowered to 1.25 using ryzen master (0 errors using OCCT, also played some games), but when i want to overclock with bios even at 3.9ghz i had a lot errors right away and im not even lowering the voltage

 

anyone know the reason of this?  

 

thanks!

Motherboard? Specs? 

 

Reset BIOS, don't apply XMP, disable PBO, raise CPU ratio and try booting.. Then mess with voltage.. After success, enable XMP.. 

 

Also, make sure to disable Ryzen Master on startup so it doesn't change anything..

sorry i forgot it, i have an ryzen 3600,mother gigabyte b450 ds3h and 16gb 3200hz

thanks for answering im going to try that, but anyway all that i want to know is why overclock with ryzen master to 4.2ghz and undervolting without a single problem, but i cant do the same on bios, i cant even set it to 4.0ghz without increasing voltage

I'm not sure why.. Hopefully my suggestions help.. Could be a number of things.. Might need to update the BIOS to something stable..

Its been known that overclocking with ryzen master is not so weird to the system. if I would tried a overclock on my old 2600x in ryzen master that I know would crash if I tried it via the bios it simply works for some reason. However it isnt extremely stable. So I dont advice in using it.

i realised that my bios have an option called AMD Manual Overclock, have anyone tried that? it is any difference between that and the regular overclock? it seems to be way easier because you can set the specific voltage value insted of going + and -

Nub question,  wny not apply XMP?

Hearing that settings in there may persist through a clear cmos.
For stability issues, have you adjusted llc settings, medium/medium-high tend to yield good results.

Just to experiment with the BIOS. Sometimes trying to apply multiple settings at the same time can cause problems.. Of course you need XMP (or manual OC) which is why I said to re-enable it after tweaking settings. 

 

 I like to work on one overclock at a time (CPU or RAM). When I get them both stable (independently), I apply one, save and restart to ensure it works, then apply the other OC settings, save and restart. Working on both overclocks at the same time can cause conflicts and on top of that you may not know where the problem lies if one arises.

Ryzen Master uses CCX instead of all core CPU overclock which is why you will get different results in Ryzen Master. My motherboard has the option to change all core to CCX in BIOS, so switch to CCX mode that way. One thing to note, you want to stay below 1.25V for a 3600, it has been known to cause degradation at 1.25V and above.

 

Have been running mine 4.5GHz at 1.32v for a few months. Let's see how soon it'll die.

Probably won't die soon but maybe it won't run at 4.5GHz anymore in a few months.

Will see.

Ah, yes. Money to burn I see!

Source from those old reddit posts? How many 3600 degrade with 1.3v after a few months? We don't have any real numbers except a few guys posted their months ago. That is a few out of many thousands. Also, how do you use the CPU? Gaming a few hours a day, or render videos 12 hours a day, is a completely different story.

 

I'll say those guys buying 3090 for gaming only have money to burn.

First I don't run Prime 95. Second, how many games can put as much load as Prime 95? Third if you're so scare the CPU will degrade, and planning to pass it to your son/daughter as heirloom. Go ahead run it stock.

What are you using to test stability?

OCCT small data set.

That's all?

It has been a few months. Yet to have any crash on games and Blender.

Just now, Rogerzz said:

So really, its probably "stable" but not enough for 100% horsepower P95, which you will never reach that kinda load anyways in day to day use.

I stopped using P95 since Haswell day. Use either AIDA64 or OCCT now.

My 4.2GHz at 1.18V passed OCCT and AIDA64 but fails P95.

I don't have any games or app that can put I consider "unrealistic" load on CPU like P95. I used AIDA64 for my old 5820k. Then recently switch to OCCT. Did the test for my brother-in-law's 2950X two years ago. Then my 3900X last year, and 3600 a few months ago. They are stable no crash in actual gaming and apps like Blender and Handbrake. I see no reason to use P95.

How do you find your safe voltage? My 3800xt ran at 1.325v during prime95 for 10 minutes with just PBO.. I can run at 4.5ghz all core with that voltage.
