SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

It doesn't
My first 1700 can't do 3.9 under avx no matter of memory speed. I used the exact bios settings 8pack used as per his thread, he has these set to 1.45v and even then it still crashes under avx loads.
What speed RAM?
Soldato
Any, right from 2133 upto 3200. My second can do it but it requires 1.4v to be stable. So I knocked it down to 3.8 at 1.3v
Same here currentlly sitting @ 1.3v @ LLC3 @ 3800 on my 1700, it`s watercooled, but even 1.425v @ LLC3 @ 4000 @ 1.180 SOC @ 1.5v RAM doesnt like OCT with AVX more than a few minutes.
I`m running the C14 trident 2x8GB kit, and I dont think its worth it going from 1.3v to 1.45v+ to obtain +200mhz.
My 24x7 setting @ 1.3v @ LLC3 @ 3800 @ default SOC @ 1.35v RAM runs OCCT with avx forever, it`s really sad that there is no oc potentiall in these chips.

Perhaps 8pack can see this
Not every 1700 can hit 3900 no matter what voltage you put through it.
There is oc potential, but just not in the 1800x. We are pretty much at 1800x clock speeds except for the 1 core boost. Free performance is always welcome.
I mean it wont do 4ghz @ 1.425v @llc3 with avx stress tests, even with 1.180v soc and 1.5v ddr.
3900 @ 1.376v @ llc3 ( 1.080v soc and 1.35v ddr) runs the avx enabled occt for 8 hours no problem, just the extra voltage it wants to get to 3900 and 4000 is not worth it for me personally.
When 3800 is fine at 1.3v but 3.9 needs 1.375v and by that logic 4 would need north of 1.45v.

My 1700 required around 1.46v to do 4Ghz.
My 1800X's required around 1.33-1.34v to do 4Ghz.
Up to 1.55v is okay as long as you can keep temperatures low.

would 1.55 be safe for a 24/7 overclock on a 1700. if not what would be the max voltage recommendation.
Soldato
What would you call low ? My priority is silence, this is my temps after 8 hours of OCCT @ 1.375v
These could be way lower but fans are at >500rpm.
I'd call that acceptable.
1.425v is the official recommendation.

Fair question and difficult one to answer precisely, but as your max temp was 77c, I'd say you are already at the safe limit. Stay at 1.45v maximum and try to keep temps at 75c or lower.
To add to this, since it's been such a hot couple of days.
My 1700 is running at 3.9 GHz at 1.38v and it only hits 50-55C under normal gaming load (also with a twitch stream on 2nd monitor). This is at 28.5C ambient room temp, a Noctua DH-15 with the ultra-quiet cable adaptors, and also a custom quiet fan curve.
Also at this ambient temp it's running at about 37C with just a twitch stream running, no other load.
So translation: These chips run stupidly cool.

Word.
Check out this video and the high voltage im running. I can lower that plenty, but i was testing memory stability at the time so had voltage up high to rule out CPU vcore issues.
CPU temps in the low 40's is okay when running above 1.45v on vcore.
Soldato
Isn't 90c the limit? At 77 running avx for 8 hours if perfectly fine I'd say.
To the guys running loads of 40 degrees I'd say check your sensemi skew settings. My cpu also lies to me when this is on auto. It also thinks my cpu idles at 9 degrees in a 25 degree ambient.
When I disable this I'd idles around about 30 and hits highs of around 55-60.
Soldato
When i bump voltage from 1.35v (3.9ghz) to 1.40v (4ghz) i gain about 20c on my load temps upto 65-70c on my custom watercooled loop. What are you cooling with?
Soldato
I believe he is using a corsair 240 AIO
Which is what I have and I'm using 1.35v and i hit 55-60 on the silent profile. With fans on max its around 50-52.
1.45v and I'm into the 80's.
I think people have the sensemi set to the incorrectly if they are seen temps like 40 degrees under load.
Soldato
This was insightful.
Still weighing up what I'm gunning for in a month or 2.
What's the general feels on average silicon, 3200Mhz on memory (with good sticks ofc, looking at the cl14, single side, single rank, b-die, g.skill stuff) voltage wise for 1700 or 1700X?
Does cl14 to cl16 make much difference (saves me about £40 on sticks)?
I definitely have the cooling if I need to push voltage, just pondering the £30-40 difference.
If 1700X saves me a good few volts and some heat I might be tempted.
Currently a 2600k @ 4.5ish never goes over 50c.

I have a fairly average 1700 that can do 3.8 ghz max. Hitting 3200 was no problem with gskill b die using 1.35v
Soldato
have you tried more volts with that?
I'm ideally after 4ghz, 3200 as cheaply as possible.
Reading other comments from AMDMatt it seems possible with the 1700, just depends on voltage and if you can keep the chip cool enough. In some cases the IMC becomes an issue though (hence the various comments you see around with folks struggling to get even good memory to run nice at 3200).
I'll spend some time and have a read through the whole thread

Yep and it was unstable at 3.9 even upto 1.45v
I have another than can do 3.9 at 1.4v
This is the silicon lottery, and I lost. The good news is the difference between 3.9 to 4.0 is minuscule and at that speed and voltage the heat output rises significantly it just isn't worth it in my opinion.
