Trying to overclock 1800x w/ noctua u12 on taichi x370

[jesseo2003]

I have a 1800x and noctua u12 with a asrock taichi x370 mobo and I can't seem to get the processor to overclock in the bios. The best luck I've had is using ryzen master but I hate having to keep re-opening it. Also, at completely stock the cpu doesn't seem to boost beyond 3.7 GHz. Any help? thanks

with the u12 max you'll go is 3.9ghz but at high temps (60-70C constant).

 

I have the exact same config (1800x/u12/x370) and don't have any issues overclocking it? Did you choose manual overclock and put your own voltage?

well i can get 4.0 @ 1.4v on ryzen master semi-stable but you're right temps are kind of high. I have tried manual in bios but it always fails to boot.

4.0 at 1.4V? was the limit 1.35 or 1.45V?  I feel that either way it's too high, I can do 3.9ghz at 1.25V. Did you update the bios of the mobo?

 

usually the 1800x should be a good overclocker but you may just be the really unlucky dude that got the worst 1800x of the lot (silicon lottery)
