Question about Ryzen boost clock
Question about Ryzen boost clock
Your perspective is acknowledged but ignored since it doesn't align with established facts or logic. Just because your approach has failed doesn't imply others will follow suit. In reality, except for those who would prefer someone else handle upgrades, it's generally advisable to attempt repairs yourself rather than risk damaging components like the motherboard. So far, your guidance has been doubtful at most. It might be wiser to consider listening and learning instead of pushing a single viewpoint on someone seeking genuine assistance.
BIOS version 2.30 is suitable for your CPU.
I’m keen to understand the BIOS features available to you.
As you discovered, boosting the BCLK isn’t typically the best approach with these newer Ryzen processors.
The issue with raising the BCLK is that it forces you to overclock every part connected to your motherboard.
This significantly complicates achieving stability.
It might be possible only on specific models with certain BIOS versions.
My setup doesn’t support increasing the BCLK at all.
I plan to be online most of tomorrow (off and on).
Using BCLK to boost any system's speed is reckless unless it's the sole method available, and even then, it's likely better to keep things as they are. Generally, you don't need or require overclocking with BCLK on systems that support unlocked boosting via normal means. Only for advanced users who deeply understand the process should consider it, but it should never be the first choice.
There are multiple images from the bios that should cover all necessary details. I've restored everything to stock except the ram oc (3000mhz sticks, increased to 3200). Also, in the pstates picture, I can't adjust frequency or voltage no matter what settings I apply. Additionally, the final image shows what appears in the OC tweaker tab when switching overclock mode to manual. I'm considering the bios update but haven't been very confident about it.
I'm planning to go to bed now, but you should review this thread: https://forums. There is a lot of useful information on adjusting the voltage.
Also, doing multiplier overclocking will also increase the p1state to 5mhz below whatever setting you apply, which is why your CPU doesn't downclock. I don't know why it's not adjusting to pstate 2 for you. To work around this, I manually adjust the p1state in BIOS back to the original settings (which on my 2600 is 2.8ghz).
My suggestions are acceptable. He plans to increase the boost frequency while keeping the CPU downclocked or undervolted when not in use. The only viable options on Ryzen are BCLK overclocking (which isn’t ideal but is his only choice) or PSTATE overclocking – which is already broken in my BIOS and hasn’t worked well for a while (it still downclocks but doesn’t downvolt). To try PSTATE overclocking, he might need to downgrade instead of updating his BIOS, which is much more complicated.
Prophet, let this be a lesson for humanity. BCLK overclocking offers no real alternative to discovering a genuine fix. More crucially, claiming that BIOS updates will cause issues is unrealistic. Without these updates, many Ryzen users would remain trapped at 2666mhz memory—perhaps reaching 2933mhz at best, or stuck if they upgrade later. Updating BIOS is now an essential step in the process. You appear sensible enough; you should grasp how many challenges on Ryzen have been resolved simply by updating the BIOS, even just last week with AMD’s new microcode.
The era has changed, and people must adapt to this as a necessary part of progress.
