OC ram first.
Then CPU:
Set SOC to 1.1v
Bring vcore up to 1.4v try for 4Ghz. 40x multiplier.
Try to stabilise at 1.35-1.4v
Linx for memory stability test
Prime 95 for cpu stability test
Enable overvolt protect if avialable.
hmmmm so seems I may have a failing bios battery. noticed the time was out when I turned it on this afternoon, so changed it to the correct time but it keeps losing about 30mins every couple of hours.
how the hell does a virtually just out of the factory motherboard have a failing battery?!

I have a CH6 and had a recurring reboot when turning off. Rebuilt it, reinstalled windows, the same thing. Finally about 3am one morning, I swapped the CMOS battery for a new one. Instant resolution of the problem.
There are definitely some dodgy CMOS batteries out there. Looking at you ASUS.
yea I'm a bit stumped now - stumped and bit hopeful that the board isn't dead afterall (see post below I put in the motherboard section)

That video has some tosh in there.
I'm no expert. What's the tosh?
I haven't overclocked my CPU yet.
well you add gigabyte to that list too - changed the battery and shutdown and restarted a few times without issue.
how the hell does a 170 quid motherboard that was almost certainly manufactured within the last 4-6 months have a bios battery die so quickly. were these a a box load they had laying about in the warehouse for about 10 years?!
BIOS batteries are and have all been the same for the past decade, so.................................... yeah, maybe.
Edit: glad you got it fixed tho
that's why I think it must have been a batch they had kicking about from about 1996!!BIOS batteries are and have all been the same for the past decade, so.................................... yeah, maybe.

I imagine the conversations going something like this.....
Big Boss Man: 'Christ we need to get these am4 ryzen boards out the door, retailers are screaming for stock'
Lowly Employee: 'but but, we're waiting on a delivery of bios batteries'
Big Boss Man: 'sod waiting on those, here's a fiver, away down the market and by a box off dodgy dave'

lol
Or they store them loose in a box at the assembly station.
I did consider whether it may have been down to using Bios flashback a lot, but that has the board powered up even if the computer is switched off. Needless to say the Duracell replacement is still going strong. I have bought another pack of two though just in case.
EDIT, The dodgy battery was reading 3.16V in HWMonitor before replacement which is why I did not initially consider it.

I've got no idea because i have never looked, but where does the power come from for the LED's behind the plastic logo's on our motherboards ?
They stay on with a rig shut down.......................maybe it's via the bios battery ?
My lights have been running with pc switched off for months, it certainly isn't battery powered
All the usual stuff really just with new labels.
Ensure you have a great cooler
Boot into BIOS
Go to overclocking/tweaking section
Set Ram to XMP. Only now this is labelled DOCP.
Change multiplier in stages.
Check temps etc.
There's loads of guides. Google is your friend.
Tosh from a guy who works for said company who builds the chip you are using who has direct access to the engineers.That video has some tosh in there
You really beat a guide from the horses mouth.

I don't think you have seen the work gupsterg has put in with ryzen. Search for his name at overclock.net to have a look. He knows what he is talking about.

Is there any chance of Ryzen dropping in price when threadripper comes out? I know they're not really the same market. I'm looking to jump on board the Ryzen train but if there's any chance of a price drop I'll wait.
