Attempting to boost the performance of my Ryzen 1600x processor
Attempting to boost the performance of my Ryzen 1600x processor
Hi, I'm just starting out with overclocking and read some guides about boosting Ryzen. I'm curious when I attempt to increase my CPU to 3.8ghz (from 3.6ghz) and set RAM speed to 2667, but the disk usage keeps throttling to 100% constantly. I've tried various adjustments like disabling Superfetch, changing Windows search, modifying message interrupt registries, etc., but nothing works. It's frustrating because I really want to maximize my Ryzen's performance. I'm using CineBench R15, MemTest, HD Tune, and Aida64 Extreme for stability checks during overclocking. So far, I haven't seen any crashes or shutdowns during the stress test.
Now, I'm sticking to stock clocks, and it still reaches 100% disk usage. My PC specs are:
Ryzen 5 1600x
MSI B350M Mortar (Bios 1.40)
DDR4 16gb (G.Skill F4-3200C16-16GTZB)
Palit 650ti OC Edition
Corsair CX650M
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Please help.
No, the update hasn't been launched yet, you'll know when it arrives. I believe board makers are still integrating it from AMD, developing their firmware around it, acting like a kernel, then testing and releasing it. We won't see it for a few weeks at most.
Your setup also uses Hynix chips, identical to mine, down to the exact part numbers. Some of my bios have managed 3200mhz, while others cap at 2933mhz. The upcoming AMD fix should hopefully resolve this issue.
Also, you should adjust your CPU speed every time you encounter the 5 post loop problem, even if it doesn't appear in the BIOS until you notice the reset.
Not facing a UEFI environment means you’ll have to rely on my guidance. Restart the machine and navigate to the BIOS, checking for any menu options resembling a cell menu. Turn off the cooling fans completely, as you would in manual settings for clocking and overclocking. Search for an option labeled CPU NB ratio, expecting it to display 3600MHz which is your standard speed. Lower that frequency down to 3.0GHz at 3000MHz, and if you want maximum turbo, set it to 3.8GHz temporarily. Save these changes and launch Windows, then open Task Manager to verify everything functions correctly. If everything works smoothly, the system will automatically adjust its speed as needed and return to its original setting when idle. When restarting back into BIOS, configure the maximum turbo clock at 4.0GHz; however, keep in mind your cooling solution. If you’re using an AMD stock cooler, it may struggle to maintain that performance for extended periods due to heat buildup. Ensure you adjust the FSB/DDR ratio settings, as most of the video focuses on specific areas.
Take a look at my video there; it's about overclocking the same board you mentioned, using almost the same RAM, and it's around 1700.

Just check out my video here, this was Overclocking on the same board you have, pretty much the same ram, and a 1700.

Is your ram under the compatibility list for memory? Mine is not included. I contacted the MSI and they tell me to wait for further bios updates.

No specific model is mentioned, I believe we share the same hardware. My device uses a trident z with an RGB color of 3200mhz, even though it isn't listed, there are many comparable kits available. During some BIOS updates, it would operate at 3200mhz as shown in the video, while on others it might only reach 2933mhz, but never below that.

On some BIOS updates it would operate at 3200mhz as shown in the video, while others only run at 2933mhz, but never below that. I've tried 3200, but my PC won't start and it defaults to 2133 after five attempts. Your settings haven't helped either. I have the F4-3200C16D-16GTZB dram module.
Is that one 16GB drive? Yes, it will limit you to around 2666MHz.
Jonathan_174 asked about a single 16gb stick and its limitations. Another user clarified it's a dual memory setup, experienced high speeds but faced issues with crashes and RAM resets at 2666mhz. They suggested trying a different profile (3000mhz) and mentioned upcoming BIOS updates with the new AGESA firmware. A link was provided for downloading the burner and checking RAM details.
