Is my ram preventing me from overclocking?

[Yeet.exe]

Hi, I'm trying to push a Ryzen 3 1300x to 4ghz but it won't boot at 4ghz on auto voltage. I'm pretty sure this is a ram issue because the 'ez debug led' lights on my motherboard get stuck at vram when I try to boot at 4ghz. I have tried removing a stick so I had 4gb, but it wouldn't boot for some reason (even when I cleared the CMOS), I've also tried taking the ram speed down to 2133 instead of 2667 but that didn't work. Does anyone know what I can do about this, thanks.

What is on auto voltage? VCORE or SOC?

It's probably not your RAM.  You'll need to change your VCOR if you OC the CPU.

Both soc and vcore are on auto rn

dont do autovoltage, it overvolts the cpu, set autovoltage -offset or manual

[Yeet.exe]

Do you have any idea what voltage it should be?

If the Vcore is on auto, it obviously won't work. Plenty of chips can't even reach 4GHz. Use manual or offset voltage and incrementally increase the clockspeed.

1,35? 1,4?

1.45 vcore max but i was not comfortable going past 1.4    .   usually with ryzen 1st gen it takes a lot more voltage to get stable past the 3.8ish mark.

mabye OC your ram to 2800-3000 and see what happens

[Yeet.exe]

I tried 1.4125 and 1.4250 but it still doesn't  boot

Increase SOC to 1.1V.

Will that damage my ram, the stock speed is 2667

You just may not be able to hit 4GHz unfortunately and I wouldn't go higher on VCORE than you already have. 

 

If you adjust Load Line Calibration then you might want to try that. I would recommend using the setting directly below the highest. So if it has 5 levels use the 4th.

Should I increase the core voltage too or only the SOC voltage?

Not at all. It just may not work without also increasing the DRAM voltage.

no, its sort of like overclocking your CPU, it wont damage it but it might crash your computer.

Should I increase the SOC and VCORE at the same time?
