Help OC

ISSUE: I am attempting to overclock my Ryzen 7 3700X to 4.2 GHz - 4.4 GHz, but it does not work. How does it not work? Well, I am able to set it to 4.2 GHz then when I restart all monitors are stay off, computer is stays on; motherboard light is a static orange DRAM light. Power button on case will not work, resorting to flicking the PSU switch. When I had a B450M, I was able to get 4.3 GHz. I need help please.

Are you increasing the voltage? Some chips are better than others, your chip might not be able to clock at 4.3GHz all core.

I have not increased the voltage, how and what would I change it to?

When you OC, you need to increase the CPU VCore voltage so it runs stable. Start at 1.29V and see if it boots. If it does, work your way downwards until it doesn't.

 

You need to test stability with Prime95, simply booting into Windows does not mean you have a stable overclock.

Okay I’ll try when I’m home, thank you

I have a similar set up to yours. If you turn on your XMP profile and use FCLK (setting that to half of your clock i.e 3200Mhz = 1600Mhz) then the processor will run anywhere from 3.8 Ghz to 4.3, varying depending on the load. At least that is what happened to me lol

I have 7 3700X on 4.3 GHz with 1.25 volts is that good? I tried 1.20 but I get the blue screen. Edit: Prime95 fail on 1.25 and 1.275. Attempting 1.29

4.3 GHz with 1.29v is the most stable. Prime95 with 16 workers, good. 3DMark Time Spy, good no crashes.
