Ryzen 3 can't overclock

[Kryptonite79]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having a weird problem with my ryzen 3 CPU. This is my 2nd pc build but this is my 1st experience with overclocking, si I might do something wrong. Let me explain what I did and what went wrong :

 

1- Overclocked my CPU to 3.7Ghz at 1.2875 volts.

 - Stress test for 15min, everything is ok at a max of 60C

2- Went to my BIOS and tried to go 3.8Ghz and keeping the same voltage

3- Computer won't boot, so I shut it down and do a CMOS reset

4- Put back 3.7Ghz at the same 1.2875 volts, no boot.

5- Another CMOS reset and put back 3.7Ghz with 1.3 volts, still no boot.

 

Every other attempts I've made didn't post. The only way I get it to post is by going to windows without any overclock (base 3.1Ghz at 1.12 volts) I don't know what's wrong because I did get to 3.7Ghz and went through 15min of stress test without any issue and no bad temps. My memory is clocked to 2667Mhz at 1.3volts and it is not the problem as I can boot with it without any issue with my base 3.1Ghz clock on my CPU, so the only problem seems to be the CPU's overclock.. Nooby overclocker need your helps !! Thanks

 

Specs :

Ryzen 3 1200

MSI B350 Gaming Pro (mATX) (BIOS updated to 2.93 version)

16Gb Mushkin redline 2666Mhz DDR4

EVGA gtx970 SSC ACX2.0

Try resetting your bios to defaults. Perhaps you accidentally changed some other setting that is now causing system instability?

Could there be a setting you adjusted the first time, and forgot to set again after the CMOS reset?

Shouldn't the CMOS reset put everything back to default ??

 

I also tried to overclock with Ryzen master program but the program freezes and close after a short time...

The VRM is the worst that i have seen.

I think it changed LLC setting or similiar advanced thing and the CPU doesnt get enough voltage probably

Ok so I should load default value and try again ?

Try load default or optimized values (dunno how CrappySI calls it)

Ok,

 

So I did load default values, and I started from 0 :

 

- Started 3.5Ghz on stock v (Passed)

- Went 3.6Ghz on stock v (Passed)

- Went 3.7Ghz on stock v (Passed)

- Went 3.8Ghz on stock v (failed)

 

- Went back to 3.7Ghz on stock were it passed, and still no boot... why would it won't boot when 5 min before it did boot and pass a 20min stress test without any issue ? I did load the default value each time I cleared the CMOS to be sure, and my RAM is on stock and will be untill I get a decent CPU overclock..

 

Can't tell what's wrong here, maybe I'm just a beginner but I think it is weird.
