SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

Drollic said:
I take it with bios overclocking and manually entering the voltage and multi, idle power saving is still active and the CPU down clocks when not under load?

I have found in windows balanced mode that 6 out of the 8 cores will clock down. 2 remain pegged at my overclock, this does reduce temps by a fair amount though.

High performance mode will keep them all at the overclocked speed. This will help with loads as it seems the windows power saving for ryzen isn't quiet working right and the difference between balance and performance is noticeable in benchmarks and games.

Ok, thanks. Do the two cores that are fixed at the frequency and voltage change, or is it literally always a specific 2 cores? Presumably you can just switch to performance mode every time you bench or game and switch back with no issue anyway.
 
The voltage (according to cpuz) stays the same and the frequency does not move. But going into hwmonitor or msi command center shows the other 6 cores downclocking to around 1500mhz. For me its always been core 0 and core 1 which do not fluctuate.
Take this with a fistful of salt however as I have some bugs with my overclocks - Sometimes when i boot into windows my CPU is set to 3.2 even though in the bios its set to 3.8. I open up ryzen master and hit apply (nothing else just apply) and it goes back to 3.8. I imagine this will get ironed out.

Overclocked with offset voltage, on balanced power plan, all cores drop. On high performance power plan then it remains at 3.6ghz.

Once we have the AMD windows update then there will be no need use the high performance power plan

What offset is typically used on those boards around 4.0? I presume you need a minor bump on LLC setting as opposed to it being auto as well?

My 1700 + Gigabyte AB-350-Gaming 3 are a good overclocking combo.

Using the stock cooler as the bracket for my 212x hasnt arrived yet Im sitting at 3.9ghz with 1.344 (reported) vcore fully stable so far.
Temps hit a max of 69c in stress testing but barely touched 60c when gaming.

thats good to know then cheers! ive ordered the same board which should be here today.

+0.25v or thereabouts for voltage offset. Like every Gigabyte AMD board I've ever owned there arr no LLC settings and voltage never budges at all

Edit: offset of around +0.12v for 3.9ghz though
 
So, I did some more testing on my Crosshair today. Had my system running for over a day at 3.9Ghz 1.286v then started to get background apps crashing, and the odd freeze every now and then. Dialed it back to 3.8ghz 1.286v, and benching with cpu-z now for the past 10 minutes. Hopefully it's stable now. Temps are settling around 58 degrees

Sounds very similar to mine http://valid.x86.fr/q3v5s1

I have got to the bottom of this. I uninstalled the MSI gaming app and now all cores are idling at 1500mhz on windows balanced mode.

Manual overclock, XFR is disabled, so if I set it at 4.1GHz, it runs at this speed all the time and that is how I overclock, I have no interest in energy saving.

But can i only lift up boost frequence? For keeping CPU its ability to lowering freq in lightweight scenario (Cool'n'Quet or how it today names)? BIOS allow this?

Oh lord... I so want to come and play with you guys and get a Ryzen. How is memory overclocking impacting performance?
Click to expand...

there is significant gains for faster memory for gaming if you can get it stable. 3000-3200Mz CL15~ is where its at

"By going to 3200 MHz over 2133 MHz we were seeing near 50% performance improvement in simple memory bandwidth tests and a 16% performance jump in our 1080P gaming test."
