Overclocks don't remain identical once applied.
Overclocks don't remain identical once applied.
I increased my Ryzen 7 2700x to 4.2 Ghz and each boot cycle shows it at 4.35 Ghz in Ryzen Master. The task manager adjusts the Base Speed to match the overclocked CPU, but this time it remained at 3.7 Ghz. I previously set it to 4.2 before adding new RAM via the default BIOS settings.
The sole solution I found was removing the new RAM module I installed. This allowed me to maintain my overclock, and I will receive a 2x16 refund.
Disconnect from the internet
Remove all processors via Device Manager (ensure it shows 16, and when prompted for restart, select no)
Reinstall the latest BIOS updates then apply default or optimized settings
Launch Windows and install the Chipset driver
Restart and select the AMD Ryzen balanced power plan, then reconnect to the internet
Perform these actions entirely offline until the reboot after installing the chipset driver, and consider rebooting to BIOS afterward to apply XMP settings and previous configurations
Prepare the necessary files before proceeding, follow the steps sequentially
Attempt to overclock again in BIOS
I also noticed that nothing is working when I save anything in the bios. My RAM speed remains unchanged, my overclocking settings don't adjust, and virtualization on my CPU didn't stay active. I'm unsure what's happening. I added more RAM to my PC and had to remove the CPU because the Noctua DH-15 was too large.
I managed to get the same result again. It seems like the new RAM might be the issue, as this hasn't happened before. I think I'll return for a replacement and purchase a 2x16 instead of using a 4x8. Right now, I can only rely on Ryzen Master to manage my overclocks.
