Update fro me 1.325v is not stable, made 20 mins of Realbench. Temps fine, not above 40. So up go the volts.

SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

After reading some other forums, i would be careful with volts at the minute. It seems CH6 is not reading them correctly, using more than actually shown. I don't know if this is a motherboard specific issue or the the Ryzen chip itself. I'm off to get me a £10 multi meter after work to see what the true reading is.

That's interesting. I'm at 1.44 i wonder what that really is!

I'll post my readings, hopefully i get chance tonight
If it passes a pass of CB and does a loop of RB i'd be VERY surprised if any gaming would be problematic.
Soldato
I've found the opposite for me. Overwatch has been throwing a fit for any memory issues. Whereas cinebench and realbench pass fine. Only AIDA64 so far has managed to find my issue.

1.35v has brought stability to RB. Now to game on it tonight and see what happens.
Interesting about the voltage readings, just tried to find my MM but can I - no sir!

I bought one but for the life of me i cant seem to get it to show any readings!

What are you using?
Associate
It's a LAP MAS830B
Soldato
Silly question, you have it on the correct setting?
Associate
I think so, it fluctuates between numbers even if the cables are plugged in or not, touching the board doesn't change anything either
Associate
I think it's faulty, I'll be taking it back and getting a replacement
Soldato
It certainly sounds it. I use nothing but fluke but they're a bit expensive if you only use them for overclocking.

For those posting real bench passes. Are you checking for WHEA errors? I could not get 4GHZ without WHEA errors for any voltage. I stopped at 1.45. I finally got WHEA free at 3.98ghz with memory at 3180. After 2 hours of Real Bench, I was hitting 84C as read by Ryzen Master. I am using 1.417 on voltage, with LLC on the highest setting, 140 current capability, and 120 on memory current capability. I am using the CH6 and BIOS 902. I can run 3200mhz on stock settings with no sweat.
Soldato
What is your load voltage when using that level of LLC? Those seem like high temps what cooler are you using? I'm at 1.4v and see highs of 72 with balanced mode on a Corsair h100i. I can confirm i am WHEA free but I'm only at 3.9.
Be careful with the voltage on these CH6, they seem to be reporting voltage incorrectly. A guy on overclock.net measured a 60mv difference. What you think is 1.45 could well be 1.5.

My voltage runs at 1.41 and 1.43 in a few spikes. I am running a Raystorm copper under a 360mm push pull with dual D5 pumps. I am not accounting for the 20C offset. Those temps what RM reports.
On stock settings, I am seeing spikes up to 1.5 volts.

Managed to get 4GHZ/3200 with 1.375 set (1.35 got me to Windows, but crashed with CB), completed CB OK, now to test Realbench:
My x62 is doing a MUCH better job than the stock Wraith cooler so feel happier pushing the chip today.
I noticed HWMon reporting 1.5v but i didn't see that when I was watching it - so it must have been for milliseconds. Almost all of the time it was showing 1.37ish and hovering @ 67-69deg with lowish AIO speeds.

That worked...
Thats a good one you have there. Mine crashes as soon as I load realbench at 4.0 even at 1.44v!
You sure you've set all of your options correctly? They all seemed to be binned pretty similarly so it could be something elementary. Can upload some shots of my BIOS if you want and see if they work for you. Same board and RAM from what I can see too.
What cooler you have? The wraith cooler couldn't cut it above 3.85/3.9 for me, was getting in to mid/high 70's and sounded like a 747!
I needed more voltage to pass the RB stress test @ 15 minutes, was crashing at 5 mins on 1.375, needed 1.395 though will see if i can steal some back the other way now.
