Ryzen 1700 overclocking help

[Thermosman]

I got a ryzen 1700, a msi x370 gaming plus mobo, and 16gb 2x8 3000mhz corsair vengeace lpx ram

Got ram stable with xmp profile 2, 2933mhz, 15-17-17-35 cas, 1.35v Vcore, 1.2v SOC, and 1.4v Dram

I have before got 3.9 ghz stable, at 1.4v vcore, but I cant replicate no matter what I do. when I turn it on, it just boot loops, and I cant get into bios

Is there any setting I am missing that could help me get this OC stable?

thanks for any help

btw CPU cooler is wraith spire, but I'm not hitting any thermal limits

I found it easier to OC the CPU prior to meeting with RAM. You may want to look at LLC. I have similar setup, and LLC at 3 made a big difference.

If the OC were stable it wouldn't crash. Something is causing issues. Reset BIOS by clearing CMOS and see it's you can get it to boot.

You need 5/6/7

MSI has preprogrammed 7 levels from which 4 are pointless.

I have to clear cmos everytime i have a bad oc, it wont go into bios if the OC is bad

I just tried llc mode 3 without ram OC, it stays on, but doesnt post.

Ok trying this

 

@Ryujin2003Now clear cmos does nothing, wont post to bios regardless. Even took out battery and still wont boot

Edit: cmos cleared when unplugged
