SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

Its the way the chip volt scales with core speed. Mine hits a wall and needs a big jump in volts to get over it. At the end of the day, will I notice that extra 100mhz, don't think I will. 3.9 is a good clock.

Share your findings. I have a feeling we have the same sticks.
3990 @ 1.395 (100tdp on RB run, awesome!)
3295 C15/36 @ 1.4
CB - 1745
RB - Passed
Going for 3300 on memory with stock timings wouldn't work with higher BCLK, didn't bother relaxing them as I'd rather keep better timings.
Now, to push back north of 4ghz... 10mhz... Give me 10mhz!
Edit:
This new version of HWmonitor is so out of tune, apparently my current Max VCORE on the RB I'm doing is 2.79! My max fan RPM? 225000!
Temps are also 4deg higher than my kraken is detecting.

Getting closer!

That is fair enough.
TBH considering what a whole system uses now to what it did 5 years ago I guess I am just not all that worried about the power draw. Put it this way if my computer was pulling full load 24/7 it would cost me £2.58 a day at 700 watt, to drop the wattage by 100 watt by lowering my clock to stock it would cost me £2.21. So the cost difference to actually running it for say 3 hours a night gaming (assuming you are at full load as well) would be 4.5p difference.
From what I can see online a fully loaded system is drawing no more than around 400 watt in even the greatest stress tests and certainly lower gaming (since all cores are not being utilised and/or neither at 100%) so the cost of that is £1.48 for 24 hour running. You would save 20p over that 24 hour period by not utilising the next 0.15V (seems to take around 50 watt to get that jump in performance if you went to 1.55V)
Power drawer to cost I just don't being a big issue these days relative to the time used and also having the power saving features for when in idle etc.

Looks good, you going to run a slightly longer run to see if issues once the CPU has warmed up a little more? Like an hour maybe?

So you've run your stick with more volts. I've only kept them at rated, which I guess is why they don't want to do 3200 just yet on this board. Maybe I'll play around a bit more later today, I do need to do some work
No, clocked back to 3950 / 3295 RAM for sub 1.3 voltage.
When I ran for an hour at 4050 I was starting to get errors in HWinfo for which I couldn't be arsed with trying to push past. Thermals were already higher than I wanted (I like to stay <70) to allow me to run silentish. I'll try again when my AM4 mount arrives for my kraken, not sure I trust the £4 Amazon special at those temps.

The rainforest backplates are crap. I went to a small computer repair store and got a proper AM3 plate of a broken mobo. The fit was 10x better.

Regarding what i mentioned earlier about the vcore reporting. The latest hwinfo beta reports it from the vrm and is supposed to be accurate.
I now notice under full load when using realbench / prime what is 1.41 in the bios actually drops to 1.344 at its lowest and 1.358 on avg. It will go back to 1.41 when idling

For £4.50 delivered I'm thankful for it. Fit is fine and temps are reasonable, but it's a stop-gap while NZXT twiddle their thumbs.

That is called vdroop. Use LLC to combat this.

The Corsair standoffs wouldn't even bottom out on mine. Leaving the standoffs not straight and making a rubbish clamp. I could be a one off of course.
Question I have a 1700 and I'm on 1001 should I disable senseMi skew or leave it on auto? On auto it tells me I'm idling at about 25-35 and full loading at 55-60 and on disable I'm idling at 35-40 and full loading a 65-70 I'm at 3.9ghz and 1.35v, I know with some 1700s it was taking 20c off the proper temp hence disabling it to get your true temps but with mine on auto it's only taking 10c off
Think mine is ok on one side but the right looks a bit loose, I ended up ordering one off the bay but they have not even sent it yet and its saying the delivery date is 6-18 April
I have ordered yet another one from Amazon: “Generic Replacement retention Bracket for AMD AM2, AM2+ AM3”, this one looks good and has a good rating so fingers crossed!If I install 2*16GB of 3000 RAM and set the XMP(AMD version) is it classed as overclocking and will it turn off Turbo/XFR?

1700? Leave it on.

i turned it off and the temps looked better to me
Installed the latest beta bios for the MSI B350 Tomahawk. Can now finally run stable at DDR4 3000Mhz. Can boot at 3200Mhz but not quite stable yet. Also noticed the new bios has CPU BCLK adjustment settings. I thought this was reserved for the top X370 boards??
