Overclocking the Ryzen 3 1200 to 3.9 settings can improve performance.
Overclocking the Ryzen 3 1200 to 3.9 settings can improve performance.
i'm not able to push my ryzen 3 1200 up to 3.9. it's currently running at 3.8 with 1.300 volts, and my ram is overclocked at 2667 at 1.35. or maybe the silicon didn't cooperate? i'm also using the standard cooler with bios version 3.30. cpu: ryzen 3 1200, ram: asrock ab350m hdv, storage: 2x4gb corsair vegance lpx 2400
Consensus exists around the silicon lottery, meaning no assurances can be made. The referenced article indicated a 4.0GHz performance under 1.4V conditions, which naturally increases heat generation. They opted for a standard cooler, making it at least feasible. I lack extensive experience with Ryzen, but the source recommends adjusting the voltage instead of using a fixed setting. The performance improvement is approximately 2.5% per 100MHz.

@ThatVietGuy 450w psu. When i try 3.9 or 4 the pc just doesn't boot up. I have to reset cmos. I might have lost the lottery. Temp-wise it's been able to work properly and play games. Temp reaching 60-65.
@photonboy Hmm offset? I could try that and maybe a ram upgrade in the future if it turns out my ram can't reach higher speeds that might affect my oc to 3.9-4
