SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

Loque · 8 Mar 2017 at 02:26

testing at 3.8ghz and temps look to be settling around 63-65

I have noticed one thing though. I can't set my bus speed any higher than 100, system will not post. Could this be memory incompatibility causing this?

are you stuggling with stabilety to get to 3.9?

I was at 4.0. System hung after my initial post earlier, so I dialed it back to 3.8 and it seems stable now. Not tried 3.9 but I could probably get that stable too if I tried. 3.8 is fine though and i'm happy with the temps. I'm probably going to have to put close to 1.55v to get 4.0 stable, and I'm not comfortable with potentially voiding my warranty (or dealing with the temps)

what was your volts at 3.8?

Loque · 8 Mar 2017 at 02:52

it's jumping between 1.48 and 1.52

Right I'm now at 3.6 1.113v and with prime 95 my temps are at 65c and with cpuz stress/bench my temps are at 55c

I've got the same atm. I have a sweet spot of 3.9Ghz at 1.325v and 2666mhz [email protected] but invoking any DOCP or bus change (even just changing from auto to man but keeping the figure the same) results in a OC failure or crash in windows. I'm assuming its BIOS related.

CH6 Mobo

~edit~
I take it back. managed to get 3200mhz on the RAM. Can't manage 4ghz though.

Seems about right there mate, hopefully you can push to 3.9Ghz.

BIOS needs to mature, out the gates Asus Crosshair is best, but we find on Intel platform Asus are always king of memory overclocking generally, particular at product launch.

Oi Gibbo, when are the Gigabyte boards due in? eh? eh?

So I just installed some Corsair Vengeance LPX memory, and I can run it at its rated speed, although I still cannot set the bus speed any higher than 100mhz. I have no idea how Gibbo or anyone else is able to get it to boot at 132mhz and whatnot

5803 I believe?

Quick question, and this may seem like a stupid one but I just want to be sure. The Crosshair VI Hero has an 8pin and 4pin CPU connector. Should I connect both? or just the 8pin?

id say read the mobo manual

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb...3_WEB.pdf?_ga=1.1100849.1055300183.1488989014

pg 39, yes you need bothe

Loque · 8 Mar 2017 at 16:16

Yeah I just went through the manual, but It didnt specifically say to use both simultaneously

CuteTurtle · 8 Mar 2017 at 16:20

What about the Aorus Gaming 5 motherboard? Any good for OC?

Edit: oh yeah, they're not out yet. woops.

It says you have to use the 8 pin but the 4 pin is optional. Roundabout way I know.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4/#Overview

this is the one i want, the main M.2 is above the main GPU port so the NVME drive wont get hot air blown on it like the MSI bords.
also it has an M.2 for an internal wifi.
other than that somewhat sandard feture set for X370

waiting for bios' to update though

yes but would you not want them bothe if you are OCing anyway?
