Ryzen 1500x Overclock Crashing

[aviationjames]

Hi, I have just got an AMD Ryzen 1500x 3.50GHz and it keeps crashing at 3.79GHz (automatic overclock by the motherboard). Should the CPU be crashing at this frequency, or is there any issues that will be fixed later on with an update for the BIOS?

 

System Specs:

AMD 1500x CPU

ASUS GTX 1060 3GB

DDR4 8GB 2400 HyperX RAM

ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS Motherboard

 

Thanks in advance

Did you check the voltage as I'm sure that 1500x can OC upto 3.9 or 4.0 GHz without any issues.

These are the voltages. It runs stable-ish on 3.79GHz unless I play intensive games or stress test.

I mean the voltage set in the motherboard BIOS.

I just went into BIOS and took these...

Increase the Core voltage to 1.320 V and test the stability and if it still crashes then go on increasing core voltage by 0.100 V more until you get the system to run stable.

3.2V??? Do you want to kill the mobo???
It's 1.32V

Thanks for mentioning missed 1. Hope he didn't apply 3.2 V.

Dude don't use 3.2 V it will toast the mobo so change it to 1.32 sorry for the mistake.

Haha, I noticed. I've increased it a little bit to 1.26250. It seems stable during stress test so far. Hope this works aha

Not only stress test, even though those tests will stress the cpu to it's limit gaming can actually prove the stability too like even though games doesn't utilise full cpu some times it crashes due to less voltage so check that too. Why not turn the voltage to 1.3 or 1.32 and OC to 4GHZ(If the system is stable at 4GHz)?

Well 1,25V is realy low for Ryzen and I wouldn't expect it to be stable at 3,8GHz on all cores with that voltage.

If temperatures are fine, you can try push voltage to 1,375V.

 

AMD said that 1,45V is max what we should be using for daily usage, so anything below that should be okay, but just to be safe I would say anything under 1,4V is 100% fine.

 

At least I know for myself that I will put my future Ryzen CPU to 1,375V and hopefully it won't get stuck at anything lower than 3,85GHz.

Hi, just finished stress testing and playing GTA V where it crashed before. All seems good at the voltage 1.26250, thankyou for all your help!

May I just ask what are max temps that you saw?

Around 60c

Are you using stock cooler that came with that CPU?

Just asking because I'm also interested in buying Ryzen (probbably soon), and just want to get some feedback from users that are already using it.

Yes, its the Wraith Spire Cooler. It's really good, and silent even during load. The CPU is very fast and has little utilization during gaming - therefore it is futureproof
