Can’t Overclock Ryzen GPU
Can’t Overclock Ryzen GPU
So basically I assembled my own PC specs – Ryzen 5 2400G, Vega 11 graphics, Corsair LPX GDDR4-3200, and an Msi b350 tomahawk. They updated the BIOS for me and I used it for a day before deciding to try overclocking the stock cooler (Wraith Spire). I watched some tutorials and was told to adjust the CPU settings under the GPU section in BIOS, but there wasn’t one. I also saw that the system labels “intergrated graphics” even though I had forced it otherwise. When I overclocked the CPU to 3.75 and tried using Ryzen Master, the PC would either keep running or crash with a black screen. I removed the motherboard battery and restarted, but it still crashed after a few attempts. I’m confused because my BIOS doesn’t have an option to change GPU frequency for the Vega 11 graphics.
Checked my bios details and it shows “American Megatrends inc. 1H0 (Date)”. When I ordered Ebuyer, they updated it to match my Ryzen chip. The motherboard listed is “Micro star international (MSI)” with no model or name—really puzzling since I own a B350 MSI Tomahawk. Shouldn’t that be listed instead?
When dealing with crashes, it's often necessary to revert to the default settings. I generally prefer not to use software that locks in changes, as it can be difficult to return to the original state. If restoring to defaults remains problematic, consider downloading the most recent Ryzen master and AMD drivers, then attempt the process again. Should that fail, reinstalling the operating system might be necessary.
For BIOS settings, try updating your BIOS to the latest version and check if the desired options are available. Keep in mind that some manufacturers may disable certain features during installation to enhance system stability.
For crashing, it’s probably best to restore the default settings. I generally prefer not to use software that locks you into custom configurations because it can be difficult to revert. If restoring defaults doesn’t work, consider downloading the latest Ryzen Master and AMD drivers and giving it another try. If that fails, reinstalling the operating system might be necessary.
Regarding BIOS settings, update your BIOS to the most recent version and check if the desired options are available. Sometimes manufacturers remove features from the motherboard to enhance stability.
I used Ryzen Master after installing it, but my PC didn’t crash—it just didn’t power on the monitor or keyboard. The fans and system continued running. I removed the battery and reset the BIOS, tried again, but gave up after three attempts. I’m not very confident updating the BIOS myself, so I probably won’t try it. I also used MSI Afterburner, but it only increased the clock speed to 265MHz. I’m confused because my BIOS doesn’t have a setting to adjust the GPU clock, and I haven’t found anyone else dealing with this problem online.
