i lost the silicon lottery :(

Ryzen 7 1700 3.8ghz@1.4v..lower than this and it will crash

fuck my life

I used to run it @1.325v,but i didnt use proper stress tests to see my actual OC capabilities

[Billy_Mays]

No its easy ya just dont OC 

[Daniel Z.]

you could push to 1.45 if you dont care about longevity. 1.41 is ok for a longer period of time

I don't really want to go higher,i was hoping for a 3.9ghz overclock but 1.4v is as far as im willing to go

I havent been able to OC because I have an OEM board

What cooler and temperatures?

dont worry about that number man

you wont notice any real-world improvements with another 100mhz

be quiet pure rock,at 1.4v it will go to 70c,at stock voltages it wont even hit 50c lol

70°C is fine.

In my tests I got diminishing improvement clock-for-clock above 3.6GHz anyway. At 3.8Ghz it is still a very good processor.

As @mok said, I wouldn't sweat that number too much.  You're looking at a max of 5% performance difference from 3.8 to 4 GHz and that's only under perfect scaling situations.  Hardly anything to worry about unless you know you need it for a specific reason.

I guess.

But the main thing that annoys me are the voltages,i cant get past 10minutes of cpu burner without crashing if im below 1.4v and according to amd 1.35v is the sweetspot for long term use

then scale it back my dude

go down to 3.7ghz at a lower voltage

 

if im not comfortable with my temps/voltage i do something about it...

i feel like you posted here to try and get someone to agree with you to run 1.4 or higher - but only people chasing benchmark numbers will do that

Don't worry about that, the CPU is fine. As long as your temperatures are in check. 1.35V (among the wide range of other recommended values) is just an arbitrary value pulled out of a hat and is approximately the point where power draw increases significantly with overclocks. at 1.4V is will be less efficient, although if it is stable and temperatures are in check then it will be fine.

If 1.4V is above your personal comfort zone, then you could drop the clock speed.
