SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

By What Elmor says new AGESA ( I assume 1.0.0.6 as they skipped 1.0.0.5?) might be the end of May or sooner beta version if AMD agrees:)

We have things working quite well at the moment, just a few quirks. We've asked AMD for permission to release a beta version, waiting for the reply. Otherwise I believe the official date is by the end of the month. Trust me, it's worth the wait. DRAM cold boot problems (starting from fully powered off state) are fixed.
 
Sounds promising, I'll be pulling the overpriced trigger on 32GB of 4K+ DDR4 once I know the state of play with vendor support

Ill be very surprised if we can hit 4k speeds. Whilst I would like to hit that (I'm using 4266 myself) I can't see it happening
 
We shall see, would buy the faster speed regardless as it's more future proof... the monoblock for my CH6 is showing as 19th May ETA so more tinkering coming regardless!

It's almost certainly a physical limitation of the manufacturing process; which is also the reason why required voltage increases exponentially for relatively small increments in frequency once past a certain threshold.

The process used to produce Ryzen is designed for lower frequency, low power draw parts.

This chart shows that Ryzen scales with voltage almost linearly until 3.3GHz; anything past that is pushing the process past optimal efficiency. AMD have pushed the process to the edge already with the stock speeds on their higher end parts (3.6GHz).

Everything past that sees increasingly large voltage increments, and at 3.9 you can see that voltage requirement skyrocket. This is why almost every CPU has some kind of wall at 3.9.

Ah thanks for the info. Certainly is a "cool" chip. Now managed to post/and do a few benches at 4ghz 1.4volts, but no where near stable. 3.9ghz will have to do :)
 
So, PC has just updated to the latest Windows 10 creators update. But now Ryzen Master is complaining that HPET is not enabled. Any ideas how to enable it? Can't see an option in the BIOS. I know, do the overclocking in the BIOS but I've been lazy :p

Edit: Ah, sorted it. Just had to run the HPET bat file in the Ryzen Master program folder.

I know most people are chasing the 4.0ghz + but I've not noticed any real difference going from 3.6 - 3.9 aside from higher temps, ( granted I dont do much more than game ).

But have people tried undervolting, I've currently got mine clocked to 3.6 @ 1.19v with idle temps or 24-28c and max load temp of 43c. Just curious to see if anyone else has done similar and what there results are.

I have my 1700 with a cheap 240 aio at 3.85 at the mo, cheep and dirty oc on a cheap mobo! cheap, cheap, cheap haha! rams running at 3466C16. I have it set at the moment at 1.325vcore, SOC voltage is 1.1. I think I can reduce this a lot though but its rock stable and sits at 21 to 24c idle and 47c gaming, so not disimilar to yours, but at a higher clock. tons of headroom though! I think they are good upto 70-80c under load so when I get some time ill find my limit were the big jump in voltage is needed. Mines unstable at the moment at 1.4vcore 4ghz, but only tried bumping the voltage, nothing else, so dropped it back to this as I dont need the extra mhz.
 
My 1700 experience is that the jump even from 3925 to 4000 requires heaps more voltage. I can do 3925 one hour realbench stable for 1.335v CPUZ. 4000 was crashing at 1.42v which was where I gave up. I think that was 1.45v idle given the droop and just not worth going that high.

I did however notice an increase in performance from 3.6 to 3.9 so will stick with that.
 
Just upgraded my BIOS to 1401 from 1107 and going through settings and bench tests at the moment.

Running a 1700 with default optimized and then selecting 3600Mhz memory it booted straight into windows, didnt seem to like core increase though so just doing some tests at 3200Mhz 16-16-16-32, with BIOS 1107 I couldn't post above 2933Mhz so seems better at the moment.

Might see if I can drop my core voltage a bit, I use to run 1.4v at 3.8Ghz but already dropped to 1.375, might see if I can go lower and remain stable.
 
I finished messing about with BIOS 1401 yesterday and settled on 3.8Ghz on all cores with memory running 3333Mhz at 14-14-14-34, I could also run 3.85Ghz without much fuss but the extra heat and voltage didnt seem worth the gain.

As previously mentioned, much lower core clock would run memory at the rated 3600Mhz so a big improvement as previous BIOS wouldnt even post on anything over 2933Mhz.
 
Can anyone give me some decent settings for an overclock with the stock cooler
I haven't overclocked for years and cannot get a decent clock. I can remember it being a lot easier with my old i7 2600k!
Thanks

1.3v set multiplier to 37 and see if its stable and keep an eye on those temps.
