Best to search over on overclock.net. IIRC it's something around 80.

Problem being, even if you get it bang on, might not help you get the next memclk multi/divider.
Hence why everyone's going for Samsung b-die. I've got 4x8GB of Corsair Vengeance LED sitting in the cupboard because I gave up with it lol.

OK cool. I'll have to do some testing. I can use memtest, but how long would you run the test for to get some sort of guarantee of stability?

For example, me, 8 hours of Prime 95 small fft has 99/100 meant my CPU is stable. But RAM? 8hrs memtest?

I had that ram. Fine at 2933, occasional boot failures at 3066 and not really stable above that. That's why I switched to what I have now. Stable at 3333 c14 with just docp standard, 3333 divider and 1.41v on memory. Almost stable at 3466 and boots at 3600 but not stable.

I can boot using DOCP at 3066Mhz.... it's been fine for months but blue screened a few days ago. :o

I'll try playing with procODT and dram volts 1.35v to 1.4v - 1.5v.

If I set the ram with DOCP, set proODT and find after time things aren't stable. What do I change first?

proODT up first or dram voltage up first?

Ignore docp and set the timings manually. Most success comes from 60ohms and 56ohms.
I'd put the voltage at 1.4v and leave it there and attempt to drop if stable.

So AMD could be at 7nm long before Intel?

7nm APU's would be a big deal.

Well hopefully,at least not too long after Intel. 7NM APUs would actually put a lot of pressure on Intel in laptops methinks!!

Its not all about E-Peen 16 thread goodness.

Ryzen 3 1200 review: G4560 Killer, also beats out the much more expensive i5 7400 when overclocked, looks like a fantastic little budget chip for those looking to build their first overclockable gaming PC. :)

You should see the Ryzen deals on HUKD - some people are pushing people to buy a Core i5 7400 or Core i5 7600K over a Ryzen 3 1200 or a Ryzen 5 1600. It makes me wonder though!!
 
I've actually decided, to leave all overclocking until 2018. My original plan was to try to overclock in Sep 2017. Waiting for BIOS updates.

But I don't think AMD nor ASUS (my mobo) are anywhere finished with BIOS updates with this board. Plus I don't have time to spend 8hrs stress testing. (CPU then RAM)

It would have to be done over the weekends. But yesterday I spent about 4 hours just adjusting volts and clocks before settling in to the 8hrs stability test. By which time it would have finished at 12am and I would have missed the whole day gaming. Plus about 4hrs in it fell over, so I gave up for now.

At stock the 1700 is fast enough. It'll be a little while until it struggles and we need the overclock performance in games. For now I'm happy just to game.

I'll attack it in the new year. (Maybe over xmas as I'll have a week off)

I feel you. Decided to get a 1600X for the highest boosts, and the OC potential is so small I can't even be bothered to tussle with it. Even at stock it'll do better than my 2500k in all scenarios (sometimes a lot better!), and hopefully Zen+ will deliver some better clocks on the same socket, and maybe handle faster memory better :)
