Cores remain at 1.5ghz after overclocking?
Cores remain at 1.5ghz after overclocking?
I'm trying to achieve a stable 3.9ghz OC with my Ryzen 1700 and Asus Crosshair VI Hero. I've turned off power-saving features and adjusted the CPU Ratio gradually. The issue arises when setting the BCLCK Freq to 100, causing cores to stall at 1.5ghz. Increasing the multiplier to higher values still results in this problem. Setting BCLK to 103 and adjusting the multiplier resolves it. Running at 101 or 102 also keeps cores at 1.5ghz. What could be the cause?
Arigo is adjusting settings to achieve a stable 3.9ghz OC on a Ryzen 1700 with an Asus Crosshair VI Hero, ensuring power-saving features are turned off. He tests different CPU Ratio and BCLCK Freq values, noting performance issues at lower frequencies. He seeks confirmation if this behavior is typical.

I'm attempting a stable 3.9ghz OC with a Ryzen 1700 and Asus Crosshair VI Hero. I've turned off power-saving features and adjusted the CPU Ratio, changing the BCLCK Freq to 100 and increasing the multiplier gradually. Setting it to 31 gives 3.1ghz, causing all cores to stall at 1.5ghz. Raising the BCLK to 103 and adjusting the multiplier resolves the issue. It seems my setup is incorrect. Could you confirm the exact motherboard model? I was led to believe this method is optimal after checking online discussions.
If BCLK functions similarly to other motherboards, it influences the PCIe bus as well, so I’d steer clear of that and stick to 100MHz.
You likely require a cooler that surpasses the standard one.
I’m not an expert, but here’s a video (he uses the 1700X but it should still be useful):

The latest BIOS is crucial... do you have version v1403?
You can find it at the support page: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG..._Download/
I attempted W10 64-bit in the support area but nothing appeared. I tried W10 32-bit and discovered the updated BIOS (a week ago). The essential AGESA 1.0.0.6 update is key for stability.
Photonboy shared his experience: if BCLK behaves similarly to other boards, it influences the PCIe bus, so he chose to stick with 100MHz. He suggests a higher-quality cooler is likely needed. He recommends checking the latest BIOS and confirms whether you have version v1403. He also mentions the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update is crucial for stability. He notes that changing the BIOS ratio affects performance, sometimes leaving it at 100 causing the CPU to idle at lower speeds. The stock cooler can be overclocked up to 3.9GHz, though he plans to install a Noctua-D14 later. He believes the current page is broken and updated to the latest WIN10 64-bit BIOS with AGESA 1.0.0.6.
reset you bios by clearing the cmos
This could be a simple question... When I press the clear CMOS button on my motherboard and turn on the PC, it prompts "CMOS Reset, press F1 to restore settings." I have no option but to press F1, and then the settings are restored?
Idle at 1.5ghz is fine, unless it remains unchanged under stress. It's likely you disabled the feature that maintains a high clock speed during idle.
