Actually I think it's the GPU that's the issue. I see the fan stop light has gone off :confused: and no signal is going to the monitor any more. All I'm doing is running Prime 95.

Ah yeah, this is a failed CPU overclock in my experience. It kills the GPU but the rest of the machine appears to be running.

I'll up the volts again, but it's a bit strange as on Fri, I did about an hour of Prime 95 a then 2hrs of BF1 and all was fine.

Currently at 1.4v for 3.9Ghz. (I was gaming on it at 1.38v at 3.9Ghz on Fri. :o)

I know only too well on how ryzen misbehaves when overclocking. I've said this before but people have been spoiled by how forgiving intels overclocking is.
Its like going back 10 years and having to learn all its quirks.

Truely bizarre. Still happens at 1.4v at 3.9Ghz. So I've gone down to 3.8Ghz now. :rolleyes:

I'm hoping this behaviour stops, otherwise it is going to be impossible for me to validate overclocks unless I move the mouse every few mins.

I'm just hoping to get the CPU through 8hrs of Prime 95. (1.35v @ 3.8Ghz now)

Very true and it's no bad thing in my mind. Peeps learn a lot more about clocking when they have to do it themselves rather than just let the mobo do for them. Learning all the small stuff makes for a better clock in the long run, but makes for a much better overclocker as well.

I think you where right. Monitor has still remained on and fanstop light is still illuminated. Oh, well seems my chip can only do 3.8Ghz.

I have x2 1700's and only 1 can do 3.9ghz thats at 1.42v mind. My second is at 3.8 with 1.35v.
Difference is minimal and something I cannot notice.

Yeah whilst frustrating at times I know this is rock solid now.

Just noticed your ram speed and wondered how stable it is and what settings you used.

Using 1.41v , docp standard and selecting the 3466 divider mine is almost stable, at 3333 completely stable for my needs.

8 hours HCI stable. I didn't use docp, the xmp profile for these sticks is 4266 so waste of time. I started at 14-14-14-34 than once that was stable I started work on the subs. I'll put them up if you want.

It's a shame as currently testing 3.8Ghz at 1.27v. You would think to hit 3.9Ghz or even 4Ghz with still 0.13v in the tank should be possible.

Alas nope.

Oh well even at stock I felt the 1700 was fast enough.

Silicon lottery :( that been said I've not seen a single 1700 that cannot do 3.8
 
You all need to check your load voltage vs. what you’ve set in the BIOS. 1.42 is more likely to be 1.35-1.37 or so which is barely enough for 3.9ghz.

I am 1.435v for 3.9 and 1.55v for 4.0. The latter drops to 1.42 under load. Both 8 hours OCCT linpack AVX stable.

3.9 is doable 24/7 on a good proportion of the chips but it does take some messing about. You also have to accept that 100mhz is worth nothing in teal world situations whereas getting your RAM from a loose 2933 to a tight 3200 is really worth doing :)

Thanks for replying, if you get time that would be useful. The impression I get is a small tweak of some sort may get it stable.
 
How much do things change from BIOS to BIOS? In terms of CPU overclocking?

It's gonna get annoying test an overclock to find that things have changed once a new BIOS is released.

The 1700s just seem to hit a wall at 3.8-3.9 where the extra voltage needed for another 100mhz just isn't worth it

The better ones likely get saved for the 1600X/1800X or even Threadripper. 4.1 XFR for 1600X/1800X and Threadripper XFR is 4.2.
