Ryzen questions

[AdmiralMeowmix]

So I have my Ryzen CPU clocked to 3.9 Ghz at 1.4 volts and it's stable (although I can only do 1-2 cinebench test runs in a row before it crashes) and was just curious if these reports here are fine. (Note My CPU Vcore once jumped to 2.1v out of nowhere and stayed there any ideas opn what that was?)

If you can only do Cinebench once or twice, lower the clock.

 

B.S.O.D.! Roll it down.

Not sure, I've heard of reporting issues with voltage on Ryzen but not 100% certain on them.

It's never BSOD on me, just locked up. I assume it's fine since I doubt I'll use a program that takes up 100% of all my clocks but.

 

I'll lower the clock though if you think I should.

Yea Ryzen master says it's around 1.35 (though I assume it's more of 1.4 since I can't lower volts at all w/o crash)

Still not good. AT ALL.

You're using a program that has a set method of operations as a benchmark. The benchmark shows you instability when working in a stable workload. 

When you add random data, i.e. gaming, you're gong to have issues.

Ah alright

If it is locking up on cinebench that means it'll lock up while gaming. Definitely not stable.

I mean if it can't do more than one or two benchs, then it isn't exactly stable?

I guess I don't realize what stable is then aha I'm new to this.

 

Lowered it down to 3.8 and it's now actually stable I can do 5+ cinebench tests in a row with no issue

Yes once I managed to do a full Heaven Benchmark on my Maxwell Titan X clocked at 1820mhz, which is insane... but obviously 9/10 times it would just crash on the first 5 seconds, just because it works doesn't mean it is stable, stability means it can function for very long periods of time without any interruption at such clocks [:

Ah I see. Well I'll do some more stress testing and see. I'll be fine with 3.8

That is not stable.

 

I run my R7 1700 at 3.8 GHz 1.275V, I was not able to get it stable at 3.825 GHz or higher even with pushing voltages through the roof. Each chip is different though.

In order to test overclocks I run three multithreaded cinebench, then one singlethreaded cinebench, followed by at least 24 hours of what I intend to run on the system (x265 encoding). If it crashes, it needs more voltage or lower clock.

Ryzen doesn't really BSOD, it either locks up or blacks out.

Yea it's now stable at 3.8 at 1.4 volts

Haha no worries. To ensure it's stable I'd recommend running either Aida 64 or Asus Realbench for 30 min-1 hr to ensure it's stable.

I plan on doin OCCT for a bit. Got the voltage down to 1.375 presume stable since I could do 7 cinebenches in a row with no issues

Lower voltage is always good. See how far you can push the memory, since that seems to make more of a difference on Ryzen than core clock speed.

Memory is at 3200 Mhz stable

What memory specifically is it?

 

You could see if you could push it further. 3466 MHz and 3600 MHz have shown pretty large gains in some games. Just look at 2933 vs 3466:

Nah it's rated at 3200 Mhz it's corsair vengenge LPX

Yeah but you could OC

That IS the OC though, all RAM is 2133 Mhz base but the listed Mhz is the max OC that it is rated for. You can't do any higher in the Bios and trying to force it would probably kill the RAM a lot faster.

Yeah well I'm talking about OCing past it's rated. You could probably try for 3466 or 3600, if you wanted. Unless you up the voltage it shouldn't  make it die much quicker.
