Overclocking ryzen 5

[LHJKO]

is this ok i couldn't get it to go any higher without my computercrashing? i have never even attempted to overclock

In short, good.

The voltage for the 3.8Ghz OC is quite good, there's maybe some room left if you push voltage even higher. (and temps allow it etc etc)

 

RAM speed, really good. 3200Mhz isn't easy to run, let alone stable and that's basically the limit. I haven't seen Ryzen systems with faster ram.

no matter what i did i couldn't get it above 3800 even at 1.4 volt

I wouldn't say you lost the silicon lottery but it is below average.

Anyway, if that's as far as it wants to go, it's fine.

Imo the good ram OC compensates more than enough for those 100-200Mhz you would have got if the silicon lottery was nice to you

If I remember correctly, Ryzen Master requires HPET to be activated, which has been found to either increase or decrease performance, depending on who you ask (rather decrease in the case of Ryzen). I would try traditional BIOS overclocking before calling it 3.8GHz @ 1.275V. 3.8GHz on my 1500x is rather stable with an offset of +0.018V, and completely stable with +0.036V. No idea what this amounts to in terms of actual voltage, but I think it's in the 1.22 -1.23V territory.

Also, if your memory is rated for 3200MHz and your motherboard supports higher frequencies, I would try to overclock that as well. My low-end 2400 16GB kit yielded a 3.5% improvement in cinebench r15 after being clocked at 2800MHz, so if you lost the silicon lottery, that could help compensate a bit.

3.8GHz at 1.275v. I'm extremely impressed if you're stable at such a low voltage. How long can you run Aida64 while stressing only CPU/FPU/Cache? I'd not be happy until it can last at least 3-4 hours. Personally, I test mine overnight (7hrs) to make sure my overclock it stable.
