Ryzen 3600x overclocking fail, HELP .....

[Paddy.97]

Good morning guys,

I made a little mistake yesterday, as I wanted to overclock my 3600x a bit further. My system is a asrock b450m, 2x ripjaws V 16gb 3200, 1tb 960 evo nvme, rtx 2070, kraken x63 for cpu und kraken g12 w. evga clc120 for the gpu. I tried to clear cmos with the jumper on the motherboard but it's stuck on powering on, shutting off, turning on and off again and again. I also left the button battery out for 6h, same problem. At first with this overclock it poster but halfway through cinebench it crashed ... Overclock was 4500mhz on 1.4V allcore, 4.475mhz on 1,375V was prime95 stable, but I wanted to see the 4.5 as stupid as I am ...

Thanks for your help

3600x is pretty much already pushed to the limit so you don't have much headroom for OC.

I say stay at 4.4ghz for long term usage.

Try to take out a ram stick and then clear CMOS again. If it doesn't work, try the other stick.

It doesn't even make sense to overclock most ryzen cpus, I honestly don't understand why so many people try... 

 

Try clearing CMOS again, remove the battery completely... Wait 10 minutes at least before putting it back in... Despite what most believe, 10 minutes is about the time it takes to drain the power completely.

I did that twice and then left it out for about 6h, but it didn't help anything ... And overclocking from 4.04 allcore to 4.4 allcore is making sense in my mind and it's fun, so I tried but failed

Are you using Ryzen Master?

Normally yes, to test the config, but it worked with master so I dialed it in to the bios

Hmm, I see. what I meant is do you still have it installed?  Well you probably do... Since you can't boot... 

 

I would say in that case completely fresh install windows from USB, if that even works (hopefully) 

 

Because, otherwise, you're just 'stuck' without a working computer from the looks of it.

Sorry my phone just resent that ...

 

[Paddy.97]

So I tried booting with one stick and without a drive in it, nothing changes 

PS: And no video output whatsoever ...

So I got my system back up running, had the drives out, cleared cmos and no cpu in. Pushed the power button for a couple of seconds, the cpu back in it booted straight to the bios. After putting the drives back in, it booted just like normal 

Thanks again for your help
