SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!
- Thread starter Gibbo

Absolutely right.
It would also reinforce how awful the VRM design is on my board. I just sold my x58 board and couldn't believe how much better the VRM cooling was. I guess ryzen at stock is very low current draw but they're selling them as overclocking boards. Meh!
Soldato
This is what I found on the tomahawk, they might be ok for the 1600's and below but I wouldn't recommend overclocking an 8 core on it.
Soldato
Aye, the MSI are the ones to be wary of. Even the top of the line titanium.
The VRMs are decent, the cooling is poor. I get that AIOs don't give enough airflow but they're a fact of life now. One of the VRM sinks is covered in a massive plastic shroud. Not great.
I can keep mine down to 80 if I ramp my top exhaust fans up. Without doing that I saw 107 at one point under prime.

ThanksGuess if i go ryzen it will have to be one of the flagship boards then
Dont get the MSI platinum, worse VRM's of all the x370's.
Thanks
Do consider it in context - gaming wise I don't see over 50. But prime95 (and I assume encoding etc.) kicks out serious heat once you're in the overclocking space.
Not sure the CHIV or Taichi are better...
Soldato
So avoid MSI if you want to overclock an 8-core? Worth knowing!
Soldato
People out there will be doing just that and it will work fine, whether it burns out faster than another board I don't know.
But it wouldn't recommend it.
Soldato
Cheers, I'll point my brother towards Gigabyte over the MSIs then at budget end then, and also to maybe look at Asrock/ASUS. If MSI VRMs are ropey even at the top, they'll definitely be poor at the lower end!

Are you sure about this as a lot of people are saying 1.45
Caporegime
You can use up to 1.45v for regular AIO's and the like. Up to 1.55v if you have high end water cooling.

sweet thx for that Matt, ive got 2 360 rads cooling her
Soldato
That was what was stated in an AMD overclocking video.

Crank her up lad.
