OC Ryzen 1700 Help?

So I am trying to OC my Ryzen 1700.
First off I have MSI x370 SLI PLUS with an older Version of BIOS because I've heard some bad about the "newer" versions. so I am running 7A33v36 instead of : 7A33v3B
My ram are G.Skill FLAREX 3200 running 14-14-14-34 @ 3200 on my BIOS.
Now I am a bit of a newbie here, so I would like to know what I should change in my BIOS, since I know i shouldn't touch my ram here so i don't know if it's only the Vcore and CPU Ratio or what MSI calls it.
I have here a link to my HWiNFO for what it looks like after 1-2 runs of cinebench and my Vcore seems low lol. https://i.imgur.com/XAEWkq2.png
Can anyone help me out a bit and what I might should punch in as numbers? :)

What cooler do you have? With a good cooler, you should be able to hit 3.9-4.0 ghz on the CPU with Vcore voltages up to about 1.375v

You should be able to get at least 3.6 or 3.7 with that. Start with something like 3.5 ghz at 1.25 volts. Then try and work from there, while making sure temps are ok

Get yourself a better cooler and then come back.

Sure it's not enough for 3.9-4 ghz, but it's still enough for a moderate OC

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I got a question though.

What happens if i OC and the PC refuse to post, do i just wait, and it will roll in BIOS again?

You use the jumper on your motherboard (with power unplugged to computer) to clear bios settings and let it revert to stock.  This is assuming it happened quickly without too much residual CPU heat, if you were stress testing may be wise to wait for it to cool down before doing so.

I like to do software OC using Ryzen Master to determine the overclock, to prevent needing to reset the bios via mobo. If it crashes, take away power, put it back, reboot, continue. 

 

If cooling is good enough, I'd just go straight to 1.4V and start incrementing clock, going up all cores 100 MHz at a time to around 3.7, then use smaller steps from there. Repeat until either it goes unstable, or temps get too much.

 

If cooling isn't so good, pick a lower voltage to start with. Find the clock limit with that. If cooling still has headroom, increase voltage and keep pushing the clock.

 

From memory, my 1700 sample would do around 3.6 at 1.25v, but I really need to start racking up the voltage above that. 1.4v was borderline at 4.0 GHz. Ok if you want to get a good benchmark result, but I'd go lower for 24/7 running.
