Ryzen: dynamic over clocking causes sound issues

[Mr_Clark1000]

Hi All,

A heads up, not sure if its been covered elsewhere but it seems that over clocking from within win10 will cause sound problems in games.

I'm finding that any dynamic oc in windows will cause stuttering, sound restarts and music looping problems in Battlefield 1.

This only occurs when oc is applied in windows, when set in bios, no problems. I believe this is the clock / timing problem that windows has when we apply OCs in windows, another symptom is the incorrect windows task CPU frequency shown.

Not sure what the solution is other than hope windows fix comes or just have static oc in bios, though this means no frequency scaling

I thought OC'ing from Windows was generally frowned upon anyway.

That is more related to your motherboard also not the CPU.

Actually it seems that its a Windows 10 issue, HPET causes timing issues when oc'd.

This seems to fix it in command prompt:
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock

Windows.

Might be Windows - might be the RAM (either RAM itself or the controller) isn't stable with the overclock - I've had it before where the CPU was passing extensive testing but was getting sound cutting out, etc. in Windows - turned out the RAM was only "99%" stable with the overclock.

I always do it in the BIOS directly as I can see what is happening and nothing can interfere with the changes I make.
