Ryzen Overclock thread. JUST OC results, and hardware/settings

I'm closing in on 4 hours running AIDA64 stress test, so far so good.

Weird and interesting stuff. Can you change back and try aida without mem stresstest at same voltage?

Weird and interesting stuff. Can you change back and try aida without mem stresstest at same voltage?

Yeah I can do that. I stopped it at just over 4 hours. I'm going to swap back in the Geil Evo 3200Mhz kit in a bit and test again.

 

[CraptacularOne]

OK I have Geil EVO 3200Mhz RAM back in. Been messing around for a bit and here's what I have so far.

4Ghz 1.3125v + memory at 3200Mhz 16-16-16-36 = system crash almost immediately after starting stress test
4Ghz 1.3275v + memory at 3200mhz 16-16-16-36 = system crash after about 5 mins starting stress test
4Ghz 1.35v + memory at 3200Mhz 16-16-16-36 = stable system (this was my previous setting before getting the new RAM)

Here's another odd thing. I'm currently running the Geil EVO at 2933Mhz 16-16-16-36 and I'm able to seemingly run 4Ghz stable at 1.325v however it's only been running for about 20 mins but no hiccups so far.

I'm clearly going to stick with the Team Dark Pro 3200Mhz and the lower voltage 4Ghz but this has me at a loss for this kind of behavior with CPU voltages being affected by RAM speed/timings on Ryzen. I'm going to let the system run for another 30 mins with the Geil RAM and see how it does and then swap back in the Team memory.

Maybe it's just me, but i'm having at least some fun running G-Skill 3000+ 2x8MB 15-16-16 Hynix rated chips @ 2933 16-14-15 timings stable on my 1600 non-x. I recently let Asus do a quick auto oc to 3.5ghz on all cores and getting good ram latency on Aida.

What's wacky is I put 14 for cas latency settings and such, but it seems to ignore it. I guess another buggy Asus release. I'm on the 0515 bios for the B350 Prime Plus. The latest one from 4/10 wouldn't let me run near the 3000mhz limit of my ram so I went back. But if a non-beta bios comes out with similar abilities and better latency I'm all for it.

BTW, I'm, getting under 82ns ram latency. I think the best so far for me is 81.7 ns using Aida.

Isn't 6.06 a release BIOS for the Asus Prime B350 Plus?

Yes sir but it was a beta IRCC at the time, but either way, I still tried that bios and did not get near my 3000+ ram speeds, so I went back to 0515.

What voltage are you running your hynix at ?
I noticed something about 14 too, although the cl and wr run at it on mine, the others seem to prefer 16

@2666 1.25v
14-16-16-35 14wr = stable
14-14-16-34 14wr = unstable
14-16-14-34 14wr = unstable
14-16-16-34 14wr = stable
12-16-16-32 12wr = unstable
13-16-16-33 13wr = unstable

"unstable" mostly meaning it wouldn't post

 

[formulav8]

What voltage are you running your hynix at ?

I'm running ram @ stock voltage. I basically enabled ram docp or something like that and selected 2933 MHz and lowered latency timings except where its ignoring the 15cas I'm trying to do. I'm getting closer to the 70's ns memory latency in Aida but not sure I will fully get there..

if your current temps are at 50C, your cooler is not the issue.

try downclocking the RAM and then up the CPU frequency and volt

I lowered ram to 2400,cpu 3.9,cpu voltage 1.4(during cinebench benchmark cpu-z showed 1.375-1.395) but the score is lower than on 3.8 and ram 2666(on 3.8 score is 1662 and on 3.9 score is 1632).vddsoc voltage is 1.05 now,had 1.10 before
Temps on 3.9 were on idle 33 degrees and during cinebanch benchmark 51 degrees.
Probably more tweaking needed,but i am affraid to up the cpu voltage to much,do not want to make the cpu life shorter.
Thank you for all advices,will keep testing.

4Ghz here pretty stable at 1.35V and LLC3

Rig:

1800x
64GB Corsair Vengeance LED 15,17,17,17,35 (4 sticks, don't believe is B-die and is dual rank)
ASUS PRIME X370 PRO
Noctua cheapo tower (not the beefiest)
980ti SC and 3 1080p monitors
A myriad of things connected to it, such as a 32 ports USB hub (Mondo Hub) and a TI 1394 card for my two Firewire interfaces.

My BIOS settings:

Multiplier: 40
Vcore: 1.35V manual
RAM Speed: 2666mhz
Ram voltage: 1.35V
Timings: 15,17,17,17,35
SOC: 1V (not critical, it can run at 0.9V)
LLC Level 3 (gives a vdroop of 1.327V in HWinfo) (I believe CPUZ metering is broken, reports vdroop as vboost)
Cstates: OFF (not critical, the system works with that on but I never put it asleep)

A note about CPUZ:

I strongly believe CPUz is broken, as much as the AI suite in my PRIME X370 PRO

I'll explain:

CPUZ: The reading is all over the place. With an OC of 4Ghz at 1.35V I get 1.330V, 1.319V, 1.36V, 1.4V...it jumps endlessly at idle...at load it shows 1.373V

HWInfo: 1.35V constant Vcore reading (not moving at all) and 1.327V vdroop with an LLC Level 3.

In fact, if we substract 1.35V from 1.373V (CPUZ reading at load) the difference is 0.023

If we substract 0.023V from 1.35V it gives you the right vdroop reported my HWInfo (1.327V)

So I believe CPUZ is reading the vdroop with a positive number, which appears as a vboost. (it did that with every LLC from 1 to 3)

In fact CPUZ is so broken it crashed my system (which is pretty darn stable) after 10min running while posting this, and I had to write it all again. (CPUZ will not crash your system if you load it and close it after say 1min)

Please leave CPUZ running for at least 2omin and see if you get a system crash. (black screen)

Anyone? I think we should take that into account.

A very detailed OC guide & analysis of every setting with interesting results by Tom's.

[ewite12]

currently 3.8 @ 1.1.38125 vcore for my 1700 on an ASRock Fatal1ty gaming k4.. Memory Corasir Vengeance LED 32GB DDR 4 3200 @ 2666 CAS 14-16-16-16-36-T1.

I can get 3.9Ghz stable if I wanted to but the vcore starts to get high.

BTW for the ASRock BIOS which setting is SOC voltage?

 

[Muscles]

My 1700x on MSI B350 Gamer Plus:

3.8 Ghz w/1.275 vcore
RAM is 14-14-14-34 1T @ 2933

I'm under the impression Ryzen Master shows the correct temperatures since HWMonitor and others seem to be adding a 20C offset. Ryzen Master shows 40C Idle and about 65C full load on stress test. I'm skeptical about the accuracy though. I can probably get 4 ghz but the temperatures seem high as is?

Ryzen Master 1.01 does display the correct temperature with consideration to offset. What cooler are you running?

 

[Space Tyrant]

3.9GHz @ 1.35V runs stable on my 1600 at 62C. I didn't attempt anything higher -- and actually have no intention to run it at that speed. My current setting is 3.5GHz @ 1.05V which, when fully loaded settles at a temp of 50C using the Wraith Spire.

One thing I noticed when testing is a gigantic temperature variation with different workloads. I have a small benchmark designed to roughly mimic an Oracle SGA in its usage of memory and stressing of caches. When configured to use 256MB -- and therefore wait on memory a lot -- it runs far cooler. When running 12 copies of this at 3.9GHz, my temps cap at 50C. When running the same benchmark set to use 16K -- and fit fully in the L1 cache and not wait on memory accesses -- it hits 62C.

The two benchmarks are exactly the same except for the memory footprint. Therefore, it appears that when waiting on memory responses, the Ryzen cores are getting significant rest while "100% busy". Of course, this behavior is part of the power-saving design of the chip and isn't particularly surprising.

However, it does hint at the importance of carefully selecting your OC stability testing software.

Edit: System: R5 1600, Asrock AB350M, G.Skill Flare X @ 2933/14/14/14/14/32, Fractal Design Define Mini C, Wraith Spire, EVGA Supernova 750 G3

I'm using a pretty good rated cooler. The MSI Core Frozr L.

I've done more research and I'm seeing that 35-40C idle temps are about right so it looks like my temps are okay. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's what I get on my Noctua for idles.

Thought it might possibly be interesting. Seems to cover the voltage settings needed.

 

[bfun_x1]

1600 - 3.9Ghz @ 1.356V 54C on water. Had 3.8Ghz in the high 70s with the wraith SPIRE.

 

[lixlax]

I have my Ryzen 7 1700 @3.7GHz using MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard. Core voltage is set at 1,2625V. I tried it with 1.25V at first, but it black screened after 15-20 mins BF4/1 play, oddly the stress tests ran stable with that voltage.
I haven't tried max OC for my system.

Take care this vid is made on the 10 of marts!. Newer bios and agesa helps mem freq. But perhaps also oc stability. Get the new stuff

I've jumped ships!
My new ship has risen from dead last weekend
In short:
New bits - R 7 1700 + Asus Prime X370-Pro + 16GB G.Skill RipJaws 3200MHz CL14 (Sammy-B) + BeQuiet SilentLoop 240 (waiting for bracket ... not installed)
Old bits: R9 290X OC 4GB + 500GB EVO 850 + 100GB Enterprise class SLC SDD for OS + 1TB HDD + 4TB HDD + 1000W BeQuiet PSU + 9 years old Big Tower ATX case

Due to running boxed cooler I'm currently at 3.825GHz 1.31V with 1.1V SOC and DDR4 3333MHz @1.35V CL14 with custom subtimings copied from 2133 setup.
Temps can get up to 80C on AMD cooler, so I'm not pushing further till my AM4 adapter ships for CLC cooler. BTW motherboard BIOS 0801 with AGESA 1006

Once on CLC I hope to get to 4GHz+ mark, but what I'm already very happy about is my memory performance!
Good to be back on AMD!

PS. Old ship was called i7 4790k.
