Does anyone have that setup? If so can you give me an idea of what overclock you've managed to get with your board and what did you do to get that OC?

I've a friend, in another country from me, whom I built a PC for and his OC was reset when he updated his BIOS and I can't remember the settings to get him an overclock. His specs are

1700
Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K5 MOBO
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit

I'd LOVE it if someone could help me. Even with setting up a 3.6 or a 3.8 oc

He has a 240mm corsair watercooler so cooling isn't an issue.

He is running the f10 BIOS just now

What settings in the BIOS should he be going for as I don't have the PC or mobo, I can't remember what the options are in each of the BIOS screens.
 
Really, you should be able to clock it up to 38 on the multiplyer and 100 base clock, with volts left on auto.

I can do this on my c6h, no worries.
 
Most will do 3.7 with no problems and after that it becomes more of a lottery with voltage and heat. Eventually you get to the point where you gain little but need a lot more voltage which increases heat a lot.
 
I vaguely remember setting the multiplier to 36 and got 3.6 without a volt increase. Memory was a bit of an issue and I couldn't get it to run at the 3000. I think I got it running at 2666 IIRC.

What volts would he need to set on the vcore to get 3.8 if he just popped the multiplier to 38. What's the safe volt settings to use for 3.8. I'm literally going to have to do a step by step guide for him to follow...an idiots guide basically.

Should the RAM be set before the CPU overclock or other way around?
 
Shouldnt matter which way round, in fact you should be able to put all in at once!

for 3.8 maybe try 1.35 for volts. What cooling do the system have? If stock then probably would not push much further. If water or Noctua then could try up to 1.4 volts.

If the motherboard has the latest BIOS then RAM should be a lot easier to get going, could just try the relevant D.O.C.P.
 
Mine will do 3.9 @1.35 volts. Never tried to go higher as 1.35v was the max recommended by AMD for 24/7 use - not sure if its been increased or not.
 
The stock wraith spire cooler is normally fine at 3.7Ghz and if you have 2 x 8GB of ram 1.2v should be fine but it ca

For good results on Ryzen memory needs to be high quality B die based, with a decent motherboard and a good IMC. It is a little bit of a lottery how fast it will go like any overclocking.
