Hi all, for Christmas I received a Kraken X62 for my R7 1700. I previously had a Wraith Spire and temps were horrible, around 45-50 idle and 70-80 under load, this was at 3.7Ghz. With this Kraken x62 my temps dramatically improved. I just OC to 3.9Ghz with 1.33V and idle temps are 30 C and idle temps have gone down to around 55C and don't go much farther. I just ran 2 Cinebench benchmarks, temps during both were around 50-55C and my scores were in the 1650 range, which seems low. On the second benchmark my PC crashed, my STRIX GTX 1080 flashes orange and white, the kraken stays lit, but im forced to turn the pc off using the power button. I upped the voltages to 1.35V and set memory back to default. I have 3200Mhz Corsair 16gb RAM and can get it to 3200Mhz extremely easily with just the XMP profile. Ran memtest for around 2-3 hours and it was extremely stable. After upping the voltage to 1.35V theres no more crashing so far, I've ran around 10 cinebenchs and scores are still extremely low, around 1576, and temps are at 50-55C, which seems fantastic. If it makes any difference, when monitoring HWMONITOR while benchmarking the voltages only seem to go up to 1.29V, doesn't seem to go past. If anyone could help me further ensure my OC is stable i'd appreciate it a ton (programs, voltages, settings, etc) . Also, what is VCORE SOC and should I mess with it? I'd love to get this thing to 4Ghz, if anyone can provide a base voltage that I could go off to attempt to achieve this 4Ghz I'd really appreciate it. Anyways, thanks a ton, I wouldn't have been able to build this PC without you guys/

What have you set your LLC to? You seem to be getting some sort of Vdroop.

I believe its at Medium, it was at low I think before but when messing with BIOS I accidentally changed the LLC to medium and read up on it a bit more and thought I'd see if it helped anything.

That score is low i get 1650 at 3.7 even at 3200mhz, are you on the latest bios and is your memory stable at its rated speeds. 

Shoot, just remembered... I ran those tests with default mem speeds, I usually get extremely stable 3200Mhz, I'll go adjust that and see how it is. I'm actually not on latest BIOS, Gigabyte released a new BIOS a couple of days ago I believe and I havent updated yet. Will definitely do that tonight. Thanks

some 1700s hit a brick wall at 3.9, i don't think u should go any further at 1.35v, u could keep 1.4 4.0 a shot but if it isn't stable then 3.9 1.35 is what u get with that cpu, i wouldn't update the bios if the ram is already stable at 3200
