AMD overclocking problems/questions

[szabi43]

Built my first PC two weeks ago, everything works fine but when I tried overclocking the PC didn't post. The LEDs were lighting (the CPU cooler and peripherals too), the case, the CPU and GPU coolers were spinning, but the PC just wouldn't start. There was no video signal as well. After a CMOS reset everything worked as good as before the overclocking attempt.

 

I tried to do it after a BIOS update, got the same results. After the second failed attempt I tried Ryzen Master with the same settings (3.8 Ghz, 1.35 volts) and it worked perfectly but the program didn't save my settings after a reboot so I let Ryzen Master go.

 

I know that this is the CPU forum, but I tried to overclock the GPU as well, but neither of the programs I used (MSI Afterburner and Radeon Settings) saved the settings, after a reboot every tweak was gone (as it was with Ryzen Master).

 

GPU: XFX XXX Edition RX580

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

Motherboard: MSI B350 PC Mate

RAM: 2x4 HyperX Fury Black 2666 Mhz DDR4

When overclocking in the bios:

Turn of core boost(or something like that)

Lock the voltage, dont use auto

Start with a small overclock, and work your way up.

What is your cooler?

The core boost gets automatically turned off if you set the ratio manually

I will see if there is a voltage locking option

I used the settings that were stable for hours in Ryzen Master

The stock Wraith Spire (It's the LED version, but I didn't get a second cable which is for color changing, so it has a red light if that matters)

1.35 volts is a little excessive for ryzen. Try the same frequencies but at lower voltage in the BIOS.

Forgot to mention that I tried 3.5 Ghz (from the stock 3.4) without adjusting the voltage, same results.
