Ryzen 7 1700 OC Help.

[DiStincTt]

When I overclock my Ryzen 7 1700 on my Asrock Taichi x370 motherboard to 3.9ghz with 1.4v, it shows up on my task manager performance chart and on my bios.

 

But when I check it on CPU-Z it shows that the clock speeds dropped to 1.5ghz. After I reset my CMOS and don't touch any overclocking and go into CPU-Z

it shows that the clockspeeds is back up to the normal 3.2ghz~. 

 

the XMP Profile 2.0 I use to get my RAM up to 3200ghz works fine and shows up properly on CPU-Z. 

 

It's just that everytime I try and overclock my CPU even to something like 3.5ghz, it doesn't show up properly and always drops down to 1.5ghz.

 

I'm 100% sure I'm doing my overclocking properly and feeding my chip enough voltage. I just don't really know how to fix this issue. 

pls help <3

Do you see 1.5 ghz when running an application or game because it won't run at that speed when it is not needed to. To save power and produce less heat

+ prolong the life of the cpu

yes I ran prime95 and it was at 1.5

This happened to me on a MSI Bazooka B350. After looking at reviews of the motherboard on newegg, someone said that it was a bug in the bios. After you adjust the clockspeed the cpu gets locked to 1.5ghz. I ended up using Ryzen Master for now until there is a bios update that hopefully ends up fixing the problem.

So I googled this and found a post on toms hardware that linked to a youtube video.

 

tl;dr - Try disabling Cool'n'Quiet and C6 mode under Advanced->CPU Configuration.

I'm probably just going to have to use Ryzen Master for now as well. Do I have to do it everytime I turn on my PC?

The overclock doesn't stick. So every time I turn on my computer I just open up ryzen master and hit apply, and then close it again.

this is a known bios issue, you have to use offset for now.

 

this is what I had to do for example if u want to oc to 3900:

 

in ur bios, set it to manual 3900 @ stock voltage 1.187v (for 1700, diff for other processors). Select offset voltage, give it around 0.175v (since I know i need about 1.6V for 3.9, 1.1875+0.175 = 1.3625. I put CPU llc to lv 3 (taichi x370 board) because i want to maintain a steady voltage at 1.6v. DRAM to 1.4, SOC volt fixed at 1.1, SOC LLC auto since I want stable voltage for my 14 cas 3200 ram. Now go check your pstates, P0 should be already at 3900 from when u put 3900 in the beginning, set p0 and p1 to be the same, set p2 to 2200 mhz@0.9v using the hex values 84, C, 68, for idle. Also Disable other stuff in bios such as C6, Cool N Quiet, Global C State.
