Is the Ryzen 7 1700 overclocked and might it be a bad chip? Did you win the lottery?
Is the Ryzen 7 1700 overclocked and might it be a bad chip? Did you win the lottery?
I'm trying to boost my Ryzen 1700 and RAM but facing issues with stable low temperatures. So far I've managed about 3.7Ghz at 1.28v (VOC +1.000), with spikes up to 1.30v during stress tests. Idle temps are around 35°C, max temps near 71°C. Pushing to 3.8Ghz requires a voltage increase to 1.37v (VOC +1.000), which then spikes to 1.4v on stress tests and reaches 89°C at times—way too high. Going to 3.9+ isn't feasible. My RAM won't exceed 3066MHz at 1.38v, but adjusting the Command Line to 2T might let it run at 1.35v. I'm wondering if this Ryzen is underperforming or if I need to adjust settings further.
I'm working on overclocking my Ryzen 1700 and RAM but facing challenges in achieving stable low temperatures. So far, I've managed up to 3.7Ghz at 1.28v (VOC +1.000), with spikes to 1.30v during stress tests. Idle temps are around 35°C, with a maximum of about 71°C. Trying to push to 3.8Ghz requires increasing voltage to 1.37v, which causes spikes to 1.4v and occasional max temps reaching 89°C—way too high. Going to 3.9 or higher isn't feasible. My RAM won't exceed 3066MHz at 1.38v, but adjusting the Command Line to 2T might allow it to run at 1.35v. It seems my Ryzen might not be handling these voltages well. I'm hoping to reach 3.9Ghz or even 3.8Ghz with lower voltages and manageable temps around 70°C max.

I'm experimenting with overclocking my Ryzen 1700 and RAM, but stability remains an issue despite low temperatures. So far, I've managed around 3.7Ghz at 1.28v (VOC +1.000), with spikes to 1.30v during stress tests. Idle temps are near 35°C, and max temps reach about 71°C. Trying to push to 3.8Ghz requires a voltage increase to 1.37v (VOC +1.000), which then spikes to 1.4v under stress, with occasional max temps hitting around 89°C—way too high. Going beyond 3.9Ghz isn't feasible. My RAM won't exceed 3066MHz at 1.38v, and adjusting the Command Line to 2T can bring it up to 1.35v. It seems my Ryzen 1700 might be struggling with higher voltages. I'm considering a remount or better thermal paste, but I doubt significant temperature drops. Have you checked if your BIOS is up to date for this board?

Looking into Ryzen 7 1700 performance with MSI Carbon Gaming Pro x370, Corsair DDR4 3200Mhz, and Hyper Evo 212 cooler. Attempting to boost both CPU and RAM speeds but facing challenges in maintaining stable low temperatures. Current results are around 3.7Ghz at 1.28v (VOC +1.000), with spikes to 1.30v during stress tests. Idle temps stay near 35°C, max reaching about 71°C. Trying to push to 3.8Ghz requires a voltage increase to 1.37v (VOC +1.000), which then spikes to 1.4v under stress, with occasional max temps hitting 89°C—still too high. Going beyond 3.9Ghz isn't feasible. RAM speed caps at 3066Mhz even at 1.38v, and adjusting Command Line to 2T can push it to 1.35v. It seems the Ryzen 1700 might be limiting performance, especially if I aim for 3.9Ghz or 3.8Ghz with lower voltages and target temps around 70°C max. I've also experimented with overclocking the same CPU, where a 3.8Ghz run reached 55°C on a Corsair H100i v2.
