I'm quite satisfied with the setup. I reached a stable clock speed of 3.85ghz with 1.275 v prime 95 for 90 minutes. Raising it to 3.9 pushed the vcore up to 1.33, and it ran smoothly for about 2 hours. However, after that, there was a single error on core 12, causing the system to shut down completely. There wasn't a noticeable voltage drop or performance loss on the HW monitor. The question is whether you think I should slightly increase the vcore or adjust the LLC settings. I suspect my drop at load was around 1.308.
Hey there,
I just noticed a small dip in mhz across all cores from 3899 to 3725. For a brief moment I checked the prime 95 and saw this happen right after one test passed and another started around the two-hour mark. Nothing else changed—vcore, temps, or cpu usage stayed steady. It might be a minor glitch, possibly due to software changes, but it could also be linked to the shifting tests.
Another method to verify would be downloading IBT:

It seems 20 minutes of IBT is about the same as 2 hours of prime95. I’m still running both to confirm, and if you decide to try it, set it up for 50 passes with standard settings—it usually takes around 15 minutes.
As long as your temperatures are fine, you can definitely increase the vcore a bit, aiming for 1.35v, and tighten the LLC to level 2 to avoid any droop. Regarding the CPU voltage, it's suggested even by AMD that you should raise it to around 1.100v, which aids in stabilizing overclocking and RAM overclocking. The board is a solid choice. Just one more thing—has your BIOS been updated?
Hey seanie, thanks for the reply. My temps were all within normal range, never exceeding 65°C actual temp. I haven’t tried any adjustments yet. Once I get home, I’ll test those settings and let you know. I’m also on BIOS 1.4, which is the latest version from about two weeks ago. I increased my v-core to 1.385 with a frequency of 3.95 GHz and it ran stably for two hours. I’m curious what I can achieve but plan to settle for around 3.8 so I don’t have to push my limits. Just want to see what I got.
I operate my 1700 R7 continuously at 3.9ghz, 24 hours a day, maintaining 1.375v, with ram set to 3200mhz and nb at 1.100v on an MSI Mortar. My current setup uses an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon that requires identical voltages for the same performance levels. However, I’ve noticed differences on the X370—specifically, level 4 for the CPU and level 5 for the NB. On the X370, my chip runs hotter compared to what others say about X370s being superior to B350s. My CPU reached a max temperature of 59°C on the B350, while I’m currently hitting around 63°C with the same gear and thermal paste. I’m considering reverting to the B350.
Hey seanie, sorry for the delay. I've been occupied lately. My nb is set to 1.1 with vcore at 1.3625 and a frequency of 3900. For mode 1, I've completed many p95 passes lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. I'm preparing a 2-hour run now that I have the time. Everything seems fine so far. Thanks for your assistance. One more question though—does mode 1 represent the minimum or maximum setting for llc in the MSI BIOS? I haven't found a clear answer yet. Under load, I sometimes see a boost to 1.376 from 1.3625, but most of the time it stays around 1.368.
Indra4523 is catching up and has been working on it. The system now has nb set to 1.1 with vcore at 1.3625 and a frequency of 3900. For mode 1, I've completed many p95 tests lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. I'm preparing for a two-hour session now that I have the time. Everything seems to be going well so far. Thank you for your assistance. One more question: is mode 1 the lowest or highest setting for LLC in the MSI BIOS? I haven't found a clear answer yet. Under load, I sometimes see a boost to 1.376 from 1.3625, but most of the time it stays around 1.368.
LLC is quite tight, that's what I was thinking. I wanted to note that LLC 1 actually raises the vcore slightly when under stress, which is why I chose LLC 2, which kept the vcore closer to my target. LLC 8 seems the most relaxed, with a lot of droop and not much benefit.
You also have a very good chip there. How are your temperatures? Are you planning to aim for 4GHz? If you decide to go for 4GHz, try a quick test like Cinebench—seeing a black screen instantly indicates trouble. If you need high volthresholds just to run Cinebench, lower it down to 3.9GHz, ensure proper cooling, monitor your temps, and keep the boost below 1.4V for safety. Of course, adjust based on your actual temperatures.
I was planning to use 4ghz but my temps seem fine most of the time during load, with a few spikes up to 64 being the highest. I'm impressed with cryorig. I plan to set my 3.9 ghz OC first so I know my current setting before moving to 4.0.
Indra4523 was planning to upgrade to 4ghz and feels their temps are stable most of the time during load, with occasional spikes up to 64c. They're impressed with cryorig and intend to fine-tune their 3.9ghz setting before moving to 4.0.
Just noticed a brief dip in mhz across all cores from 3899 to 3725 for a short moment while checking the prime 95. It coincided with one test passing and another starting around the two-hour mark. No other changes in vcore, temps, or cpu usage were seen. Could be instability or just a result of shifting tests during the prime check.
