Ryzen 1600 keeps defaulting to 1500

iamthenugget · 30 Jun 2017 at 22:38

As above I have the 1600 with msi x370 pro gaming carbon

When.ever I try any sort or Overclocked at all the clocks sit at 1500mhz and never go above until I do a full reset on of the bios and load optimised defaults.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong.

Leave the voltage on automatic.

It is a bug currently with MSI motherboards.

have the same as you what bios are you running?

hello

im running 1.70 bios. not sure what the problem is but i dont feel comfortable running auto volts.

also ive had this problem on bios 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 making my cpu pretty much useless.

pooley · 4 Jul 2017 at 14:37

mmm strange as im on the beta bios so i will upgrade to 1.7
but i have put the cpu voltage to 1.4 x40 multi and upped soc to 1.1v
got my 3000mhz ram @2933... done some cinebench bit of encoding and played games and it's been fine, i'm even thinking of dropping the volts

Over at reddit, the guys are saying this happen when using auto volts.

thing is when i use auto volts I DONT have this problem only when i manually set voltage.

on a side note at least my ram runs at its full 3200 with no problems

any volts i manually imput over about 1.29 automatically downclocks all cores to 1500 x15

have you tried to run the OC with your ram at 2133mhz just to see if that has an effect?
Or even 2400, 2666mhz?

yes tried every combo you can think of and literally everything is rock solid until i manually input volvts.

4.2 auto runs 3 or 4 runs of cinebench easy with 1.368 auto volts yet 3.2 @1.295v results in an instant 15x and 1.5 core speed

So why not just settle on 4.0/4.1ghz on 1.368v? A lot of people would be very happy with that overclock.

The added benefit of being on auto volts is that the chip will clock down and undervolt when idle (just make sure you ahve selected Ryzen Balanced or Balanced power profile).

i can only run my ram at 2133 and i would really like to have control over volts etc as i have no idea what they upvolt to. hwmonitor shows a max og 1.45 which is way too high for my liking

I found this video that might help you as he had same problem with his CPU and SLI slowing down.

HWmonitor showed my vcore peaking at 2.1-2.7v I was worried, so i used something else and that reported a normal vcore. I recomend more than one monitoring software incase its reporting BS.

Use hwinfo or cpu-z.

HWMonitor is not accurate for Ryzen.

Same problem here on my X370 Carbon. Really disappointing bug but that's early adopting I guess.

I was specifically told I was not an early adopter to ryzen here about 6 or 7 weeks back as all teething problems had been solved.

Surely this late in the day is late comers should expect stability

strange it has not happened to me :confused:

The problem is MSI, not ryzen.
