Whats everyone using for looking at Vcore for ryzen?

Hwinfo or cpuz

Thank god! Downloaded hwmonitor and was just about to make my chair a new colour.

Got a 1700 with a gigabyte k7

Set my overclock to 4.0ghz at 1.375 with LLC at high and ram to xmp at 2933 other settings at stock other then amd cool and quiet off. cpuz and hwinfo say its at around 1.368v but hwmonitorsaid 1.6v!!

3.95 @ 1.38 and ram running at 3200, so loving this 1700. games feel smoother than the 4820k @ 4.5 apart from dcs normandy which feels the same but that is on ED not me.

Pfftt, HWmonitor reports my Taichi as pumping 2.78V through mine

Now at 3950mhz with small + V offset.

4 ghz+ seems out of reach without a load more volts, wanted to stay sub 1.4 though I think I am being fairly conservative.

Not looked at the LLC yet.

3.925 here at +200mV offset so 1.425v or so in the BIOS. About 1.39v idle and 1.35v under load. LLC auto according to HWinfo CPU reading.

4ghz stable at 1.55v in the BIOS with LLC3 which is 1.45v idle and 1.39v under load. Shame about the droop and my aversion to what the BIOS says as I would probably run day to day if the BIOS just said 1.45!

Not worth the extra volts for 75mhz though.

Finally 100% stable at 3333 with 14-14-14-32 but had to settle on 2T which is a shame. 1T wasn't happening even at 3200 16-16-16-38! It boots fine but occasionally F9 loops and also consistently restarts about 2 hours into memtest, odd.

I did some 720p tomb raider and GTA benches though and neither registered any detriment when dropping to 2T. In fact one of the TR levels (the first one) registered more FPS at 2T so definitely margin of error stuff.

eeked out another 25 on the overclock to 3975mhz.

Hi gavinh87, I registered to this forum because you mentioned about 20 pages ago, that your overclock and bench tests has been inconsistent. I have been noticing this as well for my 1700 + b350-f strix. I would get hours of OCCT without error and after a restart I would get an error in less than a minute (good thing, at least I know fast). So my stability test has been to test stable for an hour first, then restart about 5-6 times, each running OCCT for abt 5 mins. This seems to be occuring even at stock settings, don't thing it is the hardware, I have tested with another board of the same model, another 1700 and another valueRAM and still the same issue. The only thing I haven't tested with another part is the PSU.

Did you manage to fix this issue? I realised VID dips quite a lot when the CPU jumps to 100% utlisation, is this normal?

sounds like you have a good chip.

Back at 3925 now as wasn't stable(thought it was). Though I have gone custom water cooled since so might try and push for a bit more.

By the sound of it, it might be a RAM stability issue? If you have Kingston ValueRAM stuff, it might not work that well with Ryzen.
Have you tried raising SoC voltage to 1.1v?

Tested with valueRAMs to make sure. Was using ripjawz 16gbx2 32GVK. All at stock settings, same error in less than a minute, sometimes.

Yes SoC is at 1.1 when my RAMs are overclocked. Tested hcimemtest 400% no issues

I'm going to give my 1700 one last chance before it gets replaced.

Seems introducing faster ram has effected the stability of my cpu.

To have a chance of staying it needs to achieve 3.7GHz AND run my ram at DOCP 3200MHz.

It can do it with just DOCP and CPU at stock but I need that overclock.

Does anyone know what voltage to start from to test a 3.7GHz overclock.

SupraWez · 18 Apr 2018 at 17:00

I posted some screenshots earlier in this thread of my 1700 running 3.8ish and 3500 ish on the memory, shows voltages and memory timing etc

chroniclard · 18 Apr 2018 at 17:02

Start at 1.35v ish, mine takes 1.39 to get 3.9 all core overclock.

Agreed, I also had to switch to 60ohms, 53ohms or auto was not stable, with GD and BS disabled too, in case others havent seen it here are some timings recommended by The Stilt on OC.NET :-

3200MHz LL = 12-12-12-28-54-140ns-9-8-12-2-2-GDME-1T
3466MHz LL = 14-14-14-28-54-192ns-14-8-12-2-2-GDMD-1T

tCL-tRCDR/W-tRP-tRAS-tRC-tRFC-tCWL-tRTP-tWR-tWRWRSCL-tRDRDSCL

140ns = 224 tRFC
192ns = 333 tRFC

I started with 3466 settings, got that stable then increased my FSB a little to get 3500 with same settings and a little more volts on the dram

For memory, start with Stilts recommended settings

Well even at stock and just the DOCP applied I am still getting freezing with this 8 Pack ram.

Backed it down to 2933MHz and it seemed fine but it's intermittent as over the weekend I managed 4 hours of game time with the DOCP enabled and cpu stock.

Have you tried memory testing each stick one at a time with everything on stock with no over clocking ?

Infrequently people can get a bad stick of ram which is simply faulty, this would be replaced under warranty.. If not my guess is you are very unlucky with the cpu you bought. Either way it is very frustrating for you.

I haven't mate. Sounds like a right faff.

I'm just looking at some benchmarks now. Having gamed on my 1700 at stock I can say that BF1 is not smooth. And yet this benchmark by hardware unboxed claims the 1700 at 1080p should manage 1% lows of 111fps. :confused:

Definitely doesn't feel like it!
