Overclocking 1700x .
Overclocking 1700x .
I just tried overclocking the CPU for the first time and want to make sure I didn’t miss anything or make a mistake.
I set it in BIOS to 3.8 GHz, voltage at 1.35, and increased the RAM to its full speed of 3000MHz.
Everything else is left on auto.
Right now, I’ve been running Prime95 for almost two hours without any errors.
The maximum temperature reached was 80℃ using air cooling (Gammaxx GT).
My question is, am I done? Should I do any additional tests or further adjustments?
Robert_126 is discussing their setup with an Asus Prime Pro X370 and mentions using HWInfo64 to monitor temperatures. They suggest considering overclocking to 3.9G or not overclocking at all, emphasizing better cooling and low temperatures through undervolting. They also note the importance of checking core voltage readings and mention concerns about the temperature being too high for their current settings.
1700x CPU XFR's running at 3.9Ghz means sacrificing 100Mhz of speed for that full-core overclock. Which motherboard are you using? At 3.8/1.35 you should notice temperatures staying at 70°C or lower. You might be seeing an uncorrected reading; the actual core temperature of an 'X' CPU is about 20°C cooler than what's shown. Also, check your voltage readings—use HWInfo64 and verify STI2/TFN Core Voltage for accuracy. It also provides the corrected core temperature in real time.
You're suggesting an overclock to 3.9 for your Asus Prime Pro X370 using HWInfo64.
Robert_126 is discussing their setup and temperature monitoring. They mention considering overclocking to 3.9G but also suggest focusing on cooling and lowering temperatures through undervolting. They note the motherboard can handle higher speeds with certain software, and question the recommended 80C temperature for 3.8G. They ask about core voltage readings and whether the values provided are accurate.
