I have a Ryzen 7 1700 at 3.9 but I was curious what mobo you had ? My gigabyte x370 Gaming K7 can't bring my Corsair 3200 kit above 2400 at seemingly any voltage. What offset did you dial in?

So I had 4.0 stable, using a 370 Crosshair Hero Asus. In order toget a stable clock at 2933 I had to downclock to 3.9 ghz. I did a an offset of about .2 but let it bounce and set voltage to 1.35 on Ram

Seems to be the bios versions compatability issues.. no good.

Have you updated your bios to most recent? Also make sure to go to AMD for the newest chipset, one came out like a week ago.

Yes to the bios, and I tried installing the chipset and I'm unsure if it actually installed but that'll be my next check.

Sorry for the random question but from what I have seen currently from various tests and people's opinions, am I right to think that there is absolutely 0 point in going anything above 1700 for processor? And by that I mean all 3 of them seem to cap at around 4ghz for most users unless you are a SL winner.

 

As for Mobo, I ll most likely be going for the Crosshair

I kinda regret NOT going for it, honestly. From my research, 1700's at 4GHz is about a 50/50 shot. but the other 50 is 3.9GHz and the price/performance gains is pretty insignificant.

Not a random question. So I have 1700x, and it has both "Boost" technology just like intel has and then "XFR" which pushes the cpu based on cooling solution. The boost never went above 3.8 ghz and that was only on 2-4 cores. XFR never more then 1-2 cores for maybe 100 hz higher, so no save money and get the 3.8 and just overclock it.

Got 4.0 stable but not with higher ram, had to back it off to 3.9 for anything over 2400 on the ram.

vcore for 4GHz?

Thank you both, 1700s it is then
