SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

never :p thats what i like. each peice of hw is like a new game :) platform/chipset in the genre of game. 775 and 1366 are the best :D

so you overclock for records rather than a pc to use? Thats fine, two different types of overclocking i guess?. People who just benchmark to beat records and others that like to tinker and still have a 100% stable PC... Hence Prime95 or OCCT or Linpack.

yes i do have a 24/7 rig for folding with an i5 5675C which is nearly stable. its bsod probably once every 2 or three months. never stress tested it and i dont run f@h on the cpu. i just ran cinebench r15 until it bsod at a set voltage then lower it 100mhz and go with that. i dont use speedstep or any power saving features, so that will decrease the chance of it overvolting itself too much when going from idle to load. if it bluescreens in normal operation as it degrades like my pentium g3258 did running at 1.4v., i just lower the speed as required. the other wya you can do this is have a fixed speed and lower the voltage, but i like to run maximum voltage for the highest speed rather than random speed with the lowest possible voltage.
 
I'm a bit confused.

I thought with the 1700 the speed when overclocked past 3.7ghz, the cores are always running at what you set it?

I'm using the Ryzen Tool. At load, my speed is 3.825ghz and at rest Taskmgr shows the CPU lowering to 2.7ghz which is fine my me. I remember someone saying with the 1700 it always has to run constantly at the overclock speed?

1700 @3.825ghz - Stock Cooler/Gaming3 - 1.181v

If that is stable at that voltage you have a gem.

Just testing now, I'm getting 1623 in Cinebench R15 so it's looking good.

Anyone clear up the situation with the 1700? Do the cores scale back when not under load?

Its his hobby and he is entitled to use his PC how he wishes, dont see why you need him to do things he does not find fun.
 
Quite surprised by a lot of comments on stability. Given a new system, fresh install and having to faff around with settings, drivers and patches, I'd of thought people would opt for a range of tests including prime for a few hours, then try gaming. It must make your gaming experience pretty dire knowing you might get a crash at any point as a lack of testing has been done beforehand.

Are people even checking for whea errors, or are these handled somehow differently by ryzen currently?
 
I'm with 8 pack on his oc'ing philosophy. If it doesn't crash in your usage, then it's stable for YOU.

Also, I'm deffinately in the "rather have an extra 200mhz and be 99% stable than 200mhz less and 100% stable".

My pc is on pretty much everyday from 8am until 11pm, it might blue screen a few times a month. I'm ok with that in exchange for the extra performance.

Besides, I'm not convinced it's the overclock causing the bsods anyway (seemsa mix of irq errors). For me, I prefer the term "it's stable enough", and Interestingly it's never crashed during productivity use (rendering, encoding etc). And what does it matter it crashes? The pc is back at the desktop within 10secs anyway.

I don't go anywhere near prime95.
