If you overclock your Ryzen chip, post your experience and results in this thread. Pic related is my Ryzen 7 2700 that I use for video encoding. Most of the time I OC it to 3.8 GHz at 1.2v, but I decided to try to up it today and this is what I got. Note that 6 of the threads are running at considerably lower clock speeds for some reason. Anyone else ever run into this?

I'm running the 9900k at 5ghz at 1.29v. AVX offset of 1 to keep temperatures below 80C

Doesn't the default setting give a max boost of 4+GHz? Are you really oc'ing for worse performance?
Evan Campbell
It depends on what you're doing, m'sir. If you're gayming, then yeah, you can get 4.1 if you have a good cooler. If you're encoding video it can't boost all cores that high, only 1. So for a faster encode you gotta oc all cores.

no thanks
Aiden Taylor
I get no benefit from doing it.
Gavin Cook
Damn my R7 2700 is running at 4.35GHz with 1.325v
Michael Johnson
shit, nigga. Either I got a shitty chip or my motherboard is shit or something (b450 tomahawk btw). I'd love to be able to get up that speed but I guess they probably sent me a shitty sample cause I got my chip on a deep discount.
Lincoln Nguyen
Why are you relegating PBO to gaming? PBO boosts all threads. Have you tried to see how high it boosts in your scenario? I'm genuinely curious.

am running on a msi b450-a pro

If you're using a non X CPU, then a manual OC is the way to go.
If you're using a X CPU, then PB/PBO will give you better performance at idle and underload than a stock OC. Just remember to set a -0,1V to -0,05V vcore offset for better thermals and oc headroom.

i try to run my chips at the highest clock while running the lowest voltage its stable at (effectively running em at the peak efficiency point)
here are the clocks i ended up w/
Ryzen 5 1600 at 3700mhz / 1.05v
Ryzen 5 1600 at 4000mhz / 1.35v
Ryzen 7 1700 at 3600mhz / 1.2v
Ryzen 7 1700 at 3200mhz / 0.9v
sadly my board bugs out under 0.9v and runs it at 1.0v instead after booting into the os
(wich is why i cant run my cpu at 0.875v, the lowest i can put it)

What you got your ram up to?

I bought b450m steel legend a ryzen 1600 and 8x2 vengeance 3000mhz sticks. Set xmp profile to memory clocked from 2166 to 3000 ran memtest and stressed it with occt. thing runs great for 270.00. granted i already had an ssd, gtx1070, psu and case. i couldnt be happier with that upgrade. it boots in to memedows 10 in 6 seconds loads what games i do play fast as hell even tho ive not added an m.2 yet. runs ark and tarkov no problem and should carry me for the next 3 or 4 years. all those years of supporting amd against the inteljew is starting to feel pretty good.

I leave it on, but I've only ever see it boost any speeds in gaming. For games I've seen it get up to 4.1GHz, in encoding it simply runs at the stock speeds.

I have an 1800X at 3.9, 32gb ram at 2933 (rated for 3200). I kept having trouble with stability until I just left as much of it alone as possible. For the ram I set the frequency then set the voltage to the rated voltage. Using the XMP profiles just made it lock after 10 minutes. Setting the timings manually more or less did the same thing. For the CPU, touching most of the settings would cause instability or lockups. What eventually got it stable was for me to set the frequency, then set load-line calibration to high. Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K7
I don't mind the difficulty in overclocking the CPU, but the XMP profiles never working was a bummer.

i run 32gb 3000mhz CL16

Running an 1800X at 4.0 since I bought it.

What do you do for voltage?

Blake Russell
2400G @ -750mV boosts to 3.9Ghz
DDR4 3000 @ 3400 on 1.3v
Robert Watson
Happy with it?
Jose Wilson
>2400G
thought about getting one of these, what do you think?
Landon Ross
R5 2600 4.0 ghz @ 1.3v
Never gets above 70c
