That's not bad tbh if stable at that. Certainly better than pumping 1.4 through when not needed

Try gaming whilst streaming via CPU, that seems to find ant instability for me.

Done some Prime95 testing for around 15 minutes and some 3D Mark benches and it seems fine.

Will try 4Ghz to see if I can get to that also, hopefully with no massive increase of volts. Although from everything I’ve read 1.4V is probably required.

I think 3.9Ghz @ 1.325V is a fairly decent everyday clock tbh

Depends on the chip to be honest. My 1800X is sat at 40x101 @ 1.375v LLC L2.

Regarding Prime95, ensure to run at least version 28.10 or latest BETA with custom FFT config (Min & Max = 128, with run FFTs in place selected.

Also try Realbench using max RAM for at least 1 hour to begin with. You may find you need to up LLC to L2 or vcore up a notch when you run full system stress.

Prime95 that’s what I ran.

I’ll have a look at Realbench later to give me some further reassurance, thanks Rossi :)

i got similar results to you. although i cant hit 4.0 unless i go up to 1.41v at that point the temp gets a bit too uncomfortable for me. so im happy with 3.9 @1.32v for everyday use

Make sense to do so, will certainly continue to mess about and possibly reduce the voltage further as I jumped up 0.025 to get 3.9.

I will say I’m really impressed with the temperatures of Ryzen with my H60, cooler than I expected.
 
hi guys. as of tomorrow i should be a ryzen 1700x owner, running on an asus x370 prime board with 16gb ddr4 3200 corsair vengeance lpx ram and using an alpenfohn matterhorn tower cooler.

i am just wondering if there are any suggested settings for optimal running / initial set up please.

not looking for mad overclocks, more like an optimum efficiency level and nice and cool system. would rather not leave in auto as probably not optimal for anything. thanks.

Leave the CPU at the moment and focus efforts on the RAM.
Download and run Thaiphoon Burner and check to see exactly what RAM you have and with what ICs e.g. Hynix, Samsung etc. This will give you an indication on what to expect. Post the results back here.

What you want to try and achieve first is 3200MHz CL14, this will unlock some potential from your system as it overcomes a Data Fabric (IF) bottleneck.

@Rossi~

Thanks. Unfortunately, this is a little annoying as the manufacturer hasn't come up.

This ram was bought in June 2016.

Unfortunately I believe they’re Hynix MFR. Which means you’re going to struggle to get 3000MHz let alone 3200MHz.

I got rid of my Hynix MFR so can’t test for you, but I struggled to get 3200MHz stable on same ICs, though that was a few BIOS revisions back.
I suggest using 1usmus’s calculator http://www.overclock.net/t/1640919/ryzen-dram-calculator-overclocking-dram

If its rated to 3200 and won't do it, do I have a case for replacement, even though its 18 months old? Bought it from OCUK.

Not sure what this is telling me?

It’s telling you what settings to use for your RAM to run at 3200, but the timings are hilariously bad/wrong.

I’d advise you start with

Memclk @ 3000Mhz
DRAM @ 1.375v (up to 1.4v max as it’s hynix)
SOC Voltage @ 1.1v
ProcODT @ 60
CADbus @ Auto (then try 20,20,20,20 of needs be)
Timings @ 16,16,16,16,36 with everything else auto.

In all honesty, I would sell in the RAM and get some Samsung B-Die based RAM.

Either of these:

Ive edited the post, as I used the import function now which gives me the right numbers.

I paid about £70 for that DDR4 back in 2016. Id be happy to get some better ram, if it wasn't £230. Thats nearly as much as the CPU and mobo cost as a bundle deal.

when i first had the ram with my current i5 build i tried running it at 3200mhz then. it would run ok and pass all the benchmarks, but id find it fail to cold boot sometimes. so i dialed it back and ditched the oc on the i5 too. dont know whether it was cpu, ram or mobo to blame.

Ah yes, that’s better. Spend some time with the bios working out where the settings are and try mine above first, see how you get on.

Yes, RAM prices are silly. Though I believe Samsung are dialling down SSD and ramping up RAM this year with a new fab. So hopefully we’ll see a decrease in costs as a result, or at least stabilisation.
 
What overclock is likely on a ryzen 5 1400 with a Noctua NH-L9X65 SE-AM4 LOW PROFILE CPU COOLER. Whats a safe voltage and temp?
