Ryzen 1700 OC

[aryanpall]

 i want to over clock my ryzen 7 1700 from 3.2ghz to 3.7 at 3.2ghz the voltage is set to 1.1875 if i want to go to 3.7ghz how much voltage do i increase ?

The 1700 already boosts to 3.7GHz when needed.  You want it to run at 3.7GHz all the time?

How much voltage you need depends on the silicon quality, you would have to test it yourself.

I think hes talking about an all core oc.

Yeah, I realized that too but I can't see that really doing much. Precision Boost does a decent job and the 1700 isn't known for being an overclocking chip is it?

yes

Max safe voltage for those chips is 1.4V, and 1700s usually top out at 3.9GHz with that amount of voltage. If you want to stick to 3.7GHz I'd expect closer to 1.3V, but if you're doing a manual OC you should really be trying for 3.9GHz.

how doul i do a manual  OC (new to pc and stuff!)

There's not a huge point to OCing most CPUs these days. The "value" mostly came from like chips in 2004 where you could go from 1.8GHz to 2.7 or in 2006 when you could take a 2GHz chip up to around 4GHz.

With the 1700, you up the multiplier associated with the CPU. You'd set it to 37 for 3.7GHz. You can try stock voltage or a bit higher. The 1700 was pretty much the last CPU worth OCing and it only really benefits you for MT workloads, almost no benefit for lightly threaded stuff since it boosts "close enough" to its potential out of the box for lightly threaded stuff.

It's what you were describing. 

 

You go into the BIOS, you change the CPU multiplier to 39 (that will give 3.9GHz), and then adjust the VCore voltage (I'd start at 1.35V), then stress test (OCCT, Linpack, Prime95 are all common stress tests). If it's unstable, increase voltage until you hit the max, save voltage of ~1.4V, then possibly backing off the multiplier if you can't get it stable. If it's overheating, decrease the voltage until it stops overheating, possibly reducing the multiplier at the same time. If it's stable, you can try raising the multiplier and going through all this again.

 sounds like a hard things to do i might just keep it stok as i dont think a 0.5 ghz increase will do much tbh

I mean, it's a 10-15% increase with multi core workloads, it's a pretty decent improvement. It's not super hard to do, but if you don't want to bother that's ok

One easy way to get a little more performance is to just enable the PBO in the bios. As long as the thermals are ok, it'll boost to higher clocks by it's self.

will look into it thanks
