SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

[gavinh87]

Cinebench doesn't confirm a stable overclock as we all know, I think the same for AIDA.

As for the others, yes their do pull out instabilities.

I settled 3.9Ghz at 1.31v, passes every test under the sun and has been a rock for heavy VM loads from day one, even now with 3200Mhz RAM. However, looking around I seem to have been a bit lucky with the CPU.

I am not sure of your loads but rather than spending a lot of time tinkering with stress tests which may put way more stress than you really need, set clocks and use your normal work load, like gaming for example, as your stress tools. And have fun doing so.

You may have issues over 3.8Ghz with stress tools, but maybe perfectly fine for your loads at higher speeds and never fail.

I think you may have missed the beginning of my story, its quite a way back so I wont hold that against you
I was running with 3.9 @ 1.42 for 2-3 weeks then when windows installed the creators update I started hard crashing, reverted to "old" windows even reverted to an earlier bios with no joy. I'm only stress testing now to try and find my most stable overclock. Luckily I was off work this week so I could run tests for hours etc but if this happened on a normal week I could not spend so long playing with it.

What Intel burn test settings you using to fail at 3.9? I will give it a run.

10 runs of maximum, be warned this will take around 90mins. You may find OCCT better as you can set a specific time (both use linpack)

10 runs at what setting of RAM amount? 4GB, 8GB etc?

I used to bash IBT back on Ivy Bridge, then moved away from it.

EDIT: Sorry just seen Max. I will crack on now for you.

I'd like to know if a 1800x will pass occt linpak at stock?

Just a quick one, when you go above 3.8, does your temps hit 75c? That would cause the system to lockup/restart/shutdown.

I found this : http://cdn.overclock.net/5/53/5330f789_ibt-avx.jpeg

"Cruised through P95 and RB at 4050 but couldn't pass IBT at max.

Lowered to 4000 and passed everything"

At 4000 he was getting WHEA errors and had to back it down to 3950

Nope, 72 max on silent profile on h100i with mostly sitting at 68c. I thought 95c was the max anyway...... 75c is when it starts to throttle.

What testing have you done at those voltages? Just curious.

CB runs then gaming, WoT, Space Engineers, WarThunder, Fallout 4, WoWs to name a few.

No crashes all good for me. Sorry moving house so do not have time for 24 torture test.

My system shuts off at anything over 75c, I am sure I read before 75c was the shut off temps not the throttling.

Are you sure your temp doesn't hit that and the machine is turning off rather than an unstable OC?

Yes because the crosshair tells you what happened in the post screen upon reboot. Each time it says "Overclock Failed!"

I must have some protect setting on them at 75c

 

[gavinh87]

AMD official forums have users reporting 95c is the shutdown temp

I can set to 3Ghz and up volts to high 75c and it shuts off. I will dig deeper into this, not than I go that high, just interesting.

 

[gavinh87]

Might also worth be noting that the coolant temp reported by corsair link and hwinfo is nowhere near 75c nor are they hot to touch.

1.42@ 3.9 temps max of 71c with h100i v2 fans on max I lasted 13 minutes in OCCT until I hard crashed with a black screen and mobo lights flashing. Reboot greeted me with this

I stand by what I said, either I am super unlucky or people aren't testing properly.

I think you maybe just unlucky mate.

Does it crash with your everyday load like gaming etc @ 3.9?

 

[prjwebb]

I'm usually pretty unlucky so I'll let you know how mine clocks next week.

I get anomalies like GTAV has stopped working, overwatch just closing down like ive pressed alt+f4 lol. No hardware errors reported though and when put under a high load just a complete crash

 

[eyetrip]

Looks like the problem I was having with occt linpack crashing was down to too much volts!

Was shutting off (when I thought about it it seemed like more of a protection response) and it didn't make sense to me that it wasn't stable at the volts I had.

Lowered it to just over 1.4v and got through an hour.

That was 3.95
