My R7 1700

[Đỗ Đức Huy]

Uh I tried to OC this thing and got 3.9GHz at 1.38125 volt, load line calibration at level 2 on an Asrock X370 Gaming K4 (yes yes I'm FULLY aware of the EOL stuff), the only limiting factor is the wraith spire cooler that make the CPU thermal shut down.

How much more can I expect out of this chip with a decent cooler (found one, just need to get the AMD bracket for it) because other than being thermal limited in Intel burn test, Cine-bench runs fine, 30 times in a row! I have a custom Excel bench mark and it runs fine as well...

3.9 is the limit for most r7 1700 4-4.1 at most with a better cooler.

4.1 if youre lucky, if youre hitting 3.9 on stock cooler id expect 4 with a good aio

Don't use burn test mate

nothing will ever hit thoes temps ever

its a test designed to push intel temps to the max and is not designed for amd cpus at all,

get the free Aida 64 trial and run that n cb at the same time

 

do get a decent cooler tho

you could probly do 4 ghz at 1.43v

 

i can do 3.9 at 1.33v on mine

you are going way beyond what the wraith spire can cope with... It can perform effectively up to around 1.3V. Increasing frequency and voltages higher than 1.3V will cause thermal shutdowns easily... I sit at 4GHz with a Kraken X52. I've never actually tried 4.1 but I don't want to exceed 1.4V so I'm not going to.
