Looking for advice on boosting performance of a Ryzen 1700 setup?
So i bought my system in July and ever since have had problems getting the overclock's i want. my issue is that i only have 3 options when it comes to overclocking that allow my pc to post and pass a torture test. option one is overclocking my Ryzen 1700 to 4.0 ghz and leaving my ram at low speeds (2133). option two is overclocking my ram to 3000 and leaving my Ryzen 1700 at stock. option three is getting a moderate overclock of 3.5ghz on my ryzen and a 2666 overclock on my ram. so i have two questions, why am i not able to get a high stable overclock of my cpu (atleast 3.9ghz) while also getting the 3000 im supposed to get with my ram(psu not strong enough maybe?).i have tried every voltage from 1.3 to 1.45 for both the ram and cpu and nothing. also its not a heat problem and if you had to choose which option from the three i listed of possible overclocks which would you prefer for most performance gains.
here is my system specs : the motherboard is up to date with the lastest bios 3008
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Processor
Fractal Design Cooler s24 240mm (AIO)
evga gtx 1080ti sc2 hybrid gaming
asus rog crosshair vi hero
evga supernova 650 G2 80+gold (to weak for what i want?)
corsair force mp500 m.2 nvme
Seagate Constellation ES 2 TB 7200 RPM
Corsair Carbide Clear 400C Compact Mid-Tower Case
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15

Actual ram voltage should remain at 1.35v for 3000 speeds. Avoid exceeding 1.4v for cpu voltage. Focus on vdd_soc for memory stability; it may require adjustment to support faster ram when the cpu is overclocked. An overclocked processor increases stress on the memory controller, which could lead to voltage drop. Set your cpu to 4ghz, use ram at 2666, and increase vdd soc to 1.05 if successful. Try 3000 at 1.10v. Never exceed 1.2v on the soc voltage.
Are you attempting to use ASUS AI Suite or manual overclock via BIOS? RAM and CPU overclocking differ. Begin by enabling the docp profile and locate the optimal setting. If the default doesn’t work, apply manual timing based on your RAM’s speed specifications after applying the chosen docp profile. For example, if your RAM has a 3000 MHz profile, select docp 3000 and adjust timings according to the speed details in the BIOS tools section or use another tool to identify it. You might find it difficult to exceed 2999, which would mean the next docp profile after 3000. Next, proceed with CPU overclocking. Start at 37 and make a slight voltage increase, then perform a stress test. Gradually raise the clock speed until you reach the voltage limit where further increases don’t improve the timing.
You're asking about optimizing your system for better performance. It seems you're considering using ASUS AI Suite or manual overclocking. You mentioned RAM and CPU overclocking are different, so first focus on setting the right RAM profile and finding the optimal settings. If the default doesn't work, adjust timing based on your RAM's specifications. Then proceed with CPU overclocking, starting with a voltage increase of 37V and gradually testing. Avoid exceeding 1.425V daily. Your experience suggests stability issues when changing profiles, so consistency is key. Make sure your PSU supports the voltages you're using.
You're asking about the process of overclocking your system. It seems you're considering using ASUS AI Suite or manual overclocking via BIOS. You mentioned that RAM and CPU overclocking behave differently, so you should first set your RAM to the optimal DOCP profile and adjust the timing according to the specifications after applying it. If the default DOCP isn't working, try setting a manual timing based on your RAM's speed data in the BIOS tools. For the CPU, start with a voltage of 37 and slightly increase it, then perform a stress test while gradually increasing the clock speed. Aim to reach the voltage limit where further increases don't improve the clock. Your experience suggests that stability depends more on voltage settings than on the CPU or RAM alone. You're also curious if this is your first build and whether you understand the risks involved.
