Ryzen 7 Overclocking Problems
50 minutes ago, JM21 said:So I've had my Ryzen 7 1700 build for about 6 weeks now, originally I did not overlock it until about 2 weeks ago when I got a big air cooler, the Cryorig R1 Universal. Anyways, now with a better cooler I dialed in a 4.0GHz overclock @ 1.380V, and I had zero issues. System stability was perfect and I passed all my stress tests with very low thermals. Then two days ago I boot my computer and it said that I am only at 10% OC instead of the 33% (previously), so I head into my bios and sure enough it is set to 3.3GHz instead of the 4.0. Now every time I try to manually set it to 4.0GHz my motherboard resets it to 3.3 every time and I can't push past that. Am I missing something? I always go through standard route of advanced settings > manual mode > set my core ratio to 40.00 > change Cpu voltage to 1.380V > verify dRAM is set to the frequency I want (2933MHz) > adjust dRAM voltage to 1.350V, and from there it has always worked. Also, my BIOS was updated about 4 days after my OC of 4.0GHz was already established, and it worked for this past week no problems so I am speculative as to whether or not the bios is in fact the issue.
Any suggestions?
I did a few google searches and came across an AMD thread stating 1501 was a bad bios. There are two newer versions, so update to the most recent. I've not read the details of why it's a bad bios version, but it may resolve the issues you're having. Before you update, try to locate and use the Load Optimized/Bios Defaults. Do this before and after the update.
