I'm trying to over clock for the first time,
I have a ryzen 1700 on a msi b450 tomahawk, ivd overclocked it to 3.6 and left everything else at auto, it all booted so I opened hw monitor and cpuz and ran cinebench r15, the vcore is at 1.19v max and 1.8v underload, soc is at 1.16, temps are idle 41c and max 74c,

But the voltage on the core seems low I've looked at others and there all at 1.2 - 1.35v?

Just wondering if I'm currently doing something wrong?
 
Set the vcore to offset +0.1V or +0.15V if you can. Otherwise try a manual 1.35V and work up or down from there in small increments. Do not leave on auto. Similarly set SOC at 1.1V max.

My settings for the Mortar with an R7 1700 are here:
Its basically the same board as you have, just the mATX version thats all.

Are you sure it's Vcore 1.8V under load? That's pretty insane. Or do you mean Vcore 1.18V under load, because that would seem more in line with your temperatures.

Yeah sorry 1.18v under load,
I've got it at 3.6 @ 1.2v and the soc @ 1v, its able to boot into windows and hasnt had a crash or anything yet, cinebench and gaming and a cpuz stress, idle around 44c and max temp 71c.
Just seems like a low voltage?

I'll check that out after work.

Yeah, you've still got some headroom to play with on the voltages.

Vcore, don't go over 1.4V (probably not likely to get much gains upward of 1.35V anyway).

Yeah, I saw 1.8V and thought WTF but it was early in the morning when I posted, no one least me was awake so I gave general advice.

You have pretty good volts there for a 1700 all core 3600MHz, stick or twist*. :D

*Depending on your cooling config. but it is hot at the moment and your temps are not too bad. Mine are about 6-8deg. cooler with a Noctua U14.

So should I go for 3.7 @ 1.2v? If it wasnt stable it would just be blue screen correct? And just reboot back into the bios and change it back to 3.6 or increase the voltage? I'm on stock wraith cooler see so I dont want to push it to much till I get a better cooler see.

What you want to look at is the temps if you're on the stock cooler, then you probably won't hit the limits the chip will overclock too, although it is a good stock cooler, it's not that good.

So yes, go for 3.7ghz, it will only crash completely out or blue screen of it's not stable, you don't need to worry about it killing you chip or anything like that, only massive amounts of voltage will do that.

If I remember right, I think 3.6ghz was the limit for mine before I had to start changing the voltage.

Set your soc voltage to 1.100v, it's perfectly safe there and will remove the ram and IMC from the equation.

You need to run something a bit tougher than cinebench to test for stability, if you want a quick test then IBT is a good one, it fully loads the cpu, you'll know in a matter of mins if it's stable or not, 10 passes of standard is a good starting point and only take 5mins to run, for God sake though, monitor the temps, nothing more than about 75-80oC for the CPU.

Okay thanks I'll give it a try later on, IBT is the Intel burn test?
