Ryzen 7 1700 overclocking

[TheCloseUpGamer]

I am new to overclocking and just finished my 1sy ever PC build. 

I have just started overclocking my cpu and am using Ryzen Master to find my cpu limit then will lock them down in BIOS.

 

I went straight to 3.7ghz at stock voltage. Idle temps are 22 degrees and under load after 15 minutes of Prime95 is 41 degrees. Is this normal? Ambient temps are 12 degrees. 

 

Ryzen 7 1700

Noctua NH-D15 

MSI x370 power gaming titanium

16GB G Skill Flare X running at 3200ghz set easily by selecting profile 2 in Bios. 

Asus ROG Strix 1070

Samsung 960 evo 500GB 

Crucial MX500 500GB

Sandisk Plus 240GB

WD Blue 7200rpm 1TB

EVGA 650w Gold

Fractal design R5 with 3 case fans

 

I'm thinking I should be able to hit 4Ghz with the above initial results? 

 

Also is Ryzen Master accurate at reporting temps? What else could I use to report temps?

Temps are good. This is not an indication of hitting 4GHz but give It a try. For monitoring I suggest HWinfo, for 24/7 operations I suggest to stay below 1.4V and 70/75°C peak (stress load)

3.9 is easy af 4ghz is like 50/50 

see if u hit 4 ghz at 1.4 if not not worth it 

3.9 at 1.35 is much better for stability and longevity and performance difference is negligible

Thanks guys. I'm new to this. Currently I'm at 3.9ghz at 1.3v been running Prime 95 for about 30 mins so after an hour I'll try 4.0ghz.. 

 

Currently temps are 51 degrees.

So I have got 3.9 stable at 1.3v {going to run a torture test overnight}

 

Tried to. Up it to 4ghz and it will post even at 1.3v but crashes during cinebench. Same happens al the way up to 1.35v it will post but crash at cinebench. 

 

I'm well happy with 3.9ghz as it's my 1st time ever overclocking, even PC building however I feel like I could probably get it stable at 4ghz if I knew how. I'm assuming I could probably do it at 1.4v but I really didn't want to go over 1.35 if I can help it.

 

Cinebench score with 3.9ghz @ 1.3v is 1750

Also take a look at the power consumption and keep that in mind.

 

My Phenom 1700X consumes around 100W more when I force it to 4GHz in Ryzen Master at 1,35V.

You're fine upto around 1.45v with Ryzen for a 24/7 OC, but try to keep it to about 1.42v and you should be good. After 3.8 Ghz, many Ryzen CPU's require quite a bit of a voltage bump to get any higher, so as long as you're stable and around 1.42v then I wouldn't worry, so long as your temps under load stay in the 80's. Stress testing the CPU can produce somewhat higher temps but for daily use, try to keep them below 85 degrees. You may need to bump up the PROCODT a little once you get past about 3.8 Ghz (around 60 ohms seems a good point for some RAM), and up your RAM voltage to 1.35, for stability.

I'll try a 4ghz overclock again tomorrow. Quite happy with 3.9 and 1.3v as it's been running Prime 95 for around 6 hours or so now and temps haven't gone past 58 degrees. 

 

I just selected the xmp profile for the memory so that's at 3200 and voltage is 1.365 but that was set automatically as part of the profile. Don't know if that's a little high for the memory though.
