Ryzen 1700 overclocking cinebench benchmark 3.6GHz shows to be faster than 3.7GHz

How come when I overclock my Ryzen 1700 to 3.6GHz, it shows faster benchmark compared to 3.7GHz.

And not just that, the benchmark result is somehow inconsistent.

 

Is there any other aspects in overclocking rather than just successfully increasing the CPU clock speed?

Set cinebench priority to run as realtime. Run it 3 times with each configuration and take the average.

Is that 3.6 referenced yours or is it the reference number as ram increases the score quite a bit whatever the case that chip should get you into the 1700+ score with a stable overclock

Results fluctuate, you won't get the exact same result every time. That's why you do multiple trials and average them.

It has strong ass VRMs, you can overclock as high as your chip will let you.

I tried 3.9 GHz and it won't boot. and sometimes even if it booted up, the CPU-Z shows the CPU CLOCK to be 1500 MHZ... Weird.

 

My RAM can't go above 2700 MHz too, while I got 32GB 3000MHz sticks..

1550MHz bug plagues all ryzen mobos.

Every stick over 8gb won't go over 2666. Rank restriction. Have you changed voltage?

Oh it's a bug? so how can I trick this bug? I don't think it's just 1500MHz by the print, I tried to do benchmark on 3.9 GHz (actually 1500MHz) and scored really low too... 

 

As for the RAM, I changed to 1.35 V. It wont boot above 2700MHz

Have you something like Ryzen Master? 

Boot up and do the bench, dont open CPU-Z

Yeah it is buggy, dont use it. Delete Ryzen master, dont open CPU-Z and right after the boot run cinebench

Also, do you use Ryzen Balanced power plan?

is it good to increase the APU frequency? Do you know what are those?

APU is a kind of processor. Dont do that.

Also dont mess around with the P-State

I set the APU to 125 is it ok? it boots up at 3.8 GHz though

Dont mess with that, load optimized defaults back

I think my system can't go above 3.75GHz, it always crashed at cinebench when I set it to 3.8GhZ

Have you tried increasing your core voltage?

You can try 1.425V if you have sufficient cooling.

WraithSpire is sufficient?

Unlikely. On the Wraith Spire my R7 1700 I was only able to maintain reasonable temperatures up to about 1.38V.

You cannot overclock with that, get H100i. I am nearly sure it was throttling
