How to increase the speed of a 7700x to 5.5 GHz on a 240mm AIO?
I have managed to reach up to 5.40 Ghz at 1.23V, but once I attempt to go higher to 5.45 it causes random crashes while gaming. I attempted to reach 5.5 at 1.25V, though it wasn't stable. The curve optimizer in Ryzen Master gave me -46. Are there any other options I can try to achieve 5.5 GHz?
Hey there,
If it's not working well in your current configuration, you might need to increase the voltage. Have you considered adjusting the vcore offset? This can sometimes improve stability. Are you using an LLC mode of at least medium, high, or 1-5 based on your motherboard? That setting can help with voltage droop.
I've attempted to increase the voltage beyond 1.24V but temperatures rise sharply to 100C and the system crashes. Running curve optimizer in Ryzen Master showed -8. To adjust a vcore offset in Ryzen Master, I'm unsure how to proceed. Some users have managed to reach 5.6 GHz with air cooling.
I'm using the OC in Ryzen Master because I don't want to change the BIOS settings, as I've experienced problems with RAM speed affecting boot loops and eventually getting into Windows. I'm worried about messing with the BIOS and risking system failure. All my motherboard's BIOS settings are currently at the default level.
Maybe it's best to settle for 5.4GHz and keep using Ryzen Master's automatic overclocking if you don't want to switch things up. The top overclocks often come from precise manual adjustments. Ryzen Master isn't my go-to tool for models like the 3800X or 7950X. It's unlikely that any of your applications will gain much from an additional 1.85% CPU boost.
