good overclock?

[Versti]

i have a ryzen 1700

i overclocked it to 3.6 GHZ with 1.2V and stock cooler, its going to 60C when i benchmark it on cinebench.

is it stable? or is it too much voltage or too less.

pretty good

what happens if its too much Voltage for a 3.6GHZ overclock

1.2V is the stock voltage, so no problem

alright, thx

is 3.6ghz safe for my motherboard's VRMs, because i heard that the B350's VRMs are not so good for overclocking,

motherboard: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3

Its not safe to put an 8 core on that motherboard at all.

You should dial back the OC rn, probably even underclock and undervolt to not kill the mobo.

Why did you put 1700 on such garbage mobo?

lack of budget..

Then dont get an 8 core.

I dont understand why are people cheaping out on their mobo so much.

removed the OC and got it back to 3ghz 1.1875V

the cheapest x370 boards are the same price as the b350 board you have (at least around here), so budget smudget. also you don't always have to increase voltage to overclock, you can often overclock and lower voltage from stock, the trick to overclocking is seeing how far you can push a chip without temperature or voltage being to high for comfort then dial back the voltage to as low as you can get it to remain stable at, for example on my 6700k if I go 4.6 Ghz I have to go to to like 1.35 or so volts, but as soon as I drop to 4.5 Ghz I can dial the voltage all the way down to 1.29 volts and that voltage drop lowers my temps by over 10 degrees Celsius.

 

if the computer doesn't crash when you stress test it then it's stable, there is no solid "magic number" between voltage and clock speed as long as you are in the "safe voltage range". I can't speak to Ryzen boards qualities on different chipsets other then to watch out for the really cheap ones, some of the cheap ones are listed to only support the 65 watt TDP Ryzen chips, I wouldn't overclock on one of those.

But X370 doesnt always mean good. Only 8 (or 9) X370s are suitable for 8 core OC

In Israel parts are really different, they are expensive and there isnt a variety of parts, only like 4 x370 boards and like 5 b350 boards
