Hey everyone,
I just set up my own gaming/streaming PC this Saturday and spent the last couple of days installing everything. I’m planning to upgrade my CPU to around 3.7Ghz with Wraith Spire. It’s my first time doing an OC, so I want to avoid damaging my CPU or motherboard by getting the settings wrong.
My motherboard is the ASRock x370 Taichi.
I tried using Ryzen Master but it wouldn’t let me apply the profile—there was an error like “failed to apply (MEM VTT)”. I think it’s better to do this properly in BIOS.
Do you have any specific guides for this CPU and motherboard combo that would make the process smoother? And if it doesn’t work, will it still boot into BIOS so I can adjust settings later?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Here are some general suggestions for you. When using the stock air cooler, voltage usage will be limited—probably not much more than what’s needed. Heat and voltage both harm the CPU. I recommend staying under 1.4 volts core. For a 3.7ghz overclock, aim for around 1.35 volts to maintain stability. Limit SOC voltage to below 1.1. Extra SOC voltage helps keep higher memory speeds steady. Stick with medium LLC settings; it offsets vdroop. When the CPU is under load, it drops below the voltage set in the BIOS. For example, if you set 1.35 volts but observe a drop to 1.31 volts under stress, that’s vdroop. Lower LLC levels can slightly reduce this effect, while higher LLC settings might actually raise the required voltage.

Here are some general recommendations for you. When using the stock air cooler, voltage usage will be limited—likely not much more than what’s specified. Heat and voltage both negatively impact the CPU. Aim for a core voltage of no more than 1.4v. For a 3.7ghz overclock, around 1.35v should suffice to maintain stability. Maintain SOC voltage below 1.1; extra SOC voltage helps stabilize higher memory clocks. Stick to medium LLC settings, as they help counteract vdroop. Under load, the assigned voltage may drop due to vdroop effects. Low LLC levels offer some mitigation, while high LLC can actually raise the required voltage, affecting VRM temperatures.
