Ryzen 7 1700X OC

[JustEbu]

Hello. I'm new and don't know much about overclocking. I wanted to ask and know how i can safely overclock my Ryzen 1700x.

 

I already OC it from 3,4GHz to 3,6GHz but i want to go for 3,8GHz or even for 4GHz.

The CPU cooler is: Corsair H110i 280 mm

 

The only problem i have is the Voltage. Im really scared to do something wrong there and in the Bios...

AMD recommends a maximum of 1.35 volts for 24/7 usage and longevity, but I've heard you can go a bit higher for short periods of time.

Don't go over 1.35Volts  for daily use and have fun

Set the voltage to -0.012 or whatever the lowest minus is you can(or if you can manually enter voltage, 1.3-1.35) unless you got unlucky with the silicon lottery, it should easily be able to hit 3.8ghz at that.

Leaving the voltage on auto can make it run at unnessecary voltage.

Okay thanks a lot! One more question. Is it bad or possible to OC without changing the voltage?

yes but it limits how far you can go, usually you cant get much

I already had 3,8GHz without changing the voltage. But i was afraid that something bad could happen

To set my voltage I need to write "1.35000" right? And before I do something wrong I need to do this on "VDDCR CPU Voltage Override"?

Yes, just make sure you change the voltage of the correct component, you don't want to send 1.35 volts to the SOC.

btw auto voltage isnt stock voltage
