Also would there be any reason or performance increase if I got higher MHz or is 3200 the sweet spot.

Yeah that calculator thing is gash. Every profile I tried with it last night wouldn't even boot. Ram was ok running at 3200 at tight timings but as soon as I put any cpu overclock on it wouldn't boot. Going to give these till the end of the month and if I can't get near 3200 with reasonable timming, then they are getting sold
I am happy with the 1700 @ 3.9, I just want to get the ram sorted.
As I have corsair 8 gb x2 LPX 3200, am I likely to hit 3200? If not is one of the new CPU's in April likely to help? Or is it more likely to be the motherboard?
I had no problem hitting 3200 on the LPX ram on my CH6 and 1600, i had that motherboard from around a month release and could run 3200 from the start, although i did leave the timings on auto so they aren't as tight as they should be which im going to start to play with soon. Really wish i bought the B die as back then it was only £30 or so more from Team Skill 3200 C14.
Updated to the latest CH6 bios the other day and started my OC from afresh, still cannot run 4ghz, tried leaving the RAM at default so about 2033 and set the CPU to 1.45v in the BIOS, no joy, froze the system after about 15 seconds of OCCT with AVX, temp was only 50c so didnt even have time to be a heat issue, backed down and best ive had now is 3.85 at 1.41v, at 1.4v running OCCT the system would freeze for 5 seconds or so every minute or so. Temps with that still only max at <70c. With the vdroop it drops to around 1.34v when stressed. Dont know what it dropped to with 4ghz and 1.45v. LLC i have set to auto.
One thing i never could understand in terms of max voltage long term, was the max of 1.425/1.45 after vdroop?
In my case its not worth it aiming for 4ghz but was interested.
I might whip out the multimeter.
Absolute maximum for long term: 1.425v, that is the advice from AMD's Robert Hallock.
I presume he is talking about they actual volts when stressed.

I am already using the high llc setting on the gigabyte ax370 gaming 5 with my 1700, what I was wondering is would it be safe to use the extreme llc setting for 24/7 use.
Ok cool thanksAs long as the under load volts don't go over 1.425v its fine.
Ordered Ryzen 5 1600 for my next build, should be arriving tomorrow (or Monday).
Was looking at Ryzen 5 2400G build at first, but figured that having more cores would be useful for what I'm going to be using the system for.
Without putting too much effort into overclocking, how high of overclock can I expect to get? 3.6-3.8 GHz range?
Oh also I ordered 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM (2x4GB), if that helps with the question.
3.8Ghz should be easy.
You do know the 1600 has no integrated graphics? you will need a separate GPU.
