Ryzen 1400 OC Help

[c00lFD]

I built my Ryzen system almost 3 months ago, it's been great so far, but I've decided to overclock it for MAX PERFORMANCE! I have a B350M Gaming Pro from MSI and I'm using the stock cooler. I was able to OC it to 3.6Ghz on auto voltage, it runs at 55 degrees and everything is smooth. Others on the internet have been able to get up to 3.8 at least. So what do I do? Am I just maxed at 3.6 due to the mobo or am I doing something wrong? I have the newest bios installed.

Firstly what cooler do you have? Secondly you shouldn't really be over clocking on Auto Voltage as it can set the voltage too high. You don't want to be putting anymore than 1.4v into a Ryzen, i'd say no more than 1.35v if on air (depending on the actual cooler and case airflow)

 

Try leaving the voltage at around 1.325V manual and then seeing what speeds you can get

Try to turn off auto voltage.

The MSI B350s are bad, but they should still handle a quad core decently.

I'm using the stock cooler and auto voltage is keeping at about 1.256v (This is under load)

yeah that's why people can do 3.8 on stock cooler they push the voltage to 1.32 ish and get around 75~80C on load but it's worth it for a 0$$ paid

Download the trial version of Aida64 and use the System Stability Test to stress CPU / FPU / Cache. If your 3.6GHz overclock is stable at 1.26v, then you should be able to run that stress test for at least 1-2 hours without it failing. Personally, I'm not satisfied with my CPU overclock until I can run Aida64 overnight (7hrs) without it failing. I agree with Squinty, though, your stock cooler can probably handle 3.7 or 3.8 at around 1.30-1.35v. As long as your CPU Package temperature doesn't go beyond 80c, you're fine.
