Overclocking guide for your Ryzen 3 3100 and ASRock B450 Fatal1ty Gaming K4.
Overclocking guide for your Ryzen 3 3100 and ASRock B450 Fatal1ty Gaming K4.
Hello everyone, I'm facing some issues with overclocking for the first time. I've read a few tips but still feel uncertain. My BIOS is set to default, which means Core Performance Boost is ON and Global C-state Control is ON. Should I adjust these settings? Also, I changed the Global C-state setting because I thought it could help with stability: Spead Spectrum is OFF. When I tried overclocking using AMD Ryzen Master with AUTO OC enabled, the voltages were unusually high—around 1.355V at 3785MHz. Earlier, I achieved 3874MHz at 1.436V. Currently, with AUTO OC, the system seems stable after seven hours of Prime95 without errors, but the voltage is still too high and the frequency isn't as high as desired. The temperature reached 75°C under full load during the test. I own an older H80i v1 and previously attempted manual overclocking via Ryzen Master to push past 3.9MHz, but it never stabilized. I reached 4100MHz and 1.39V before Prime95 crashed after about 40 minutes. It seems like I might be in a tough spot—maybe the silicon isn't cooperating or I'm misjudging the limits. My specs include an Asrock B450 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 with the latest BIOS 4.20, a Ryzen 3 3100, and several high-speed RAM modules. I'm curious if others have managed to get close to 4.3MHz with much lower voltages. Or could it just be that I'm making mistakes?
