Overclocking Ryzen 7 1700 model
this will hurt performance... it's not just about silicone luck... I've seen a YouTuber reach 4.1ghz... cooling is usually the main problem when you overclock... i don't care if people think I should or shouldn't try this... lol i'm going to figure it out and probably end up with 4.1ghz or more eventually... i got stable at 4.0ghz before and no one agreed otherwise when i asked about that speed... what i need is advice from someone who's actually overclocked a lot. i want to know the right settings for higher clocks, how to make it more stable, and how to fix the FPU issue in Aida64.
And the FCLK suffers under Zen, running an overclocked RAM—especially with chips like Hynix that aren’t reliable for overclocking—and a chip that’s heavily overclocked. The interconnect struggles to keep up, resulting in poor clock performance as discussed earlier, and the terrible IMC makes things even worse.
The FPU problem stems from instability. Right now, reduce the CPU clock speed and run tests after each 0.025 ghz drop until you succeed without errors. Then try tools like Prime95 on SmallFFT; it should work reliably if it doesn’t crash for roughly 24 hours.
a study looked at 1700 people and found that more than 95% could recall around 3.7g, 70% remembered 3.8g, 50% reached 3.9g, and so on.
Reduce your memory throughput to 2400 MT/s to ensure stability. Turn off all power-saving modes (C-states, CnQ, CPB, PBO, etc.). Disable any non-essential functions. Enable exotic cooling for sub-ambient temperatures. Consider installing Zen+ or Zen 2 chips. This adjustment reflects a trade-off similar to previous attempts, except with an alternative path: gradually lower clock speeds until you achieve consistent performance. The FPU is integrated into the CPU and isn't reliable at higher frequencies. Be aware that achieving 4.1 GHz is uncertain, even for those with better cooling. Conduct thorough testing and experimentation. Most results depend on power management settings and features. Don't be overly confident in reaching 4.1 until you've validated it. It's generally advised to settle for 4.0 GHz as a more stable baseline.
All aspects were closely monitored. Normal operating temperatures are irrelevant unless they spike significantly. The key focus lies on typical usage conditions and full benchmark loads (r20/r15).
