R7 3700X OC inquiries
I have a Ryzen 3700X built with an MSI Gaming Edge Wi-Fi, 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM and a Cooler Master ML240L liquid cooler. In Ryzen Master I achieve an OC of 4.4GHz on all cores using 1.3V, reaching a max temperature of 65°C under load. When trying to push it to 4.5GHz the system crashes and displays various blue screen warnings, though I stay within PPT, TDC and EDC limits. In Ryzen Master the highest I can reach is 4.475GHz on all cores with EDC at 92%. I’m not very familiar with BIOS tweaks, but this might be a restriction for this chip. And if not, what factors could cause that? Note: At 4.4GHz I can play all my games but the Cinebench R20 test freezes after about five seconds. Question 1: is Ryzen Master limited only to advertised boost clocks? Question 2: can I achieve higher boost clocks on the chip via BIOS? (not confident yet) Question 3: do you often see Cinebench crashes during startup?
Increased the peak voltage settings and tested those configurations on my 3700X with a core voltage of 1.35. It seems the issue might be specific to the X370 model, possibly causing instability during idle. I recently installed Ryzen Master and was able to get it working after three days.
Did you boost your memory speed on this system? How did it compare to the previous version?
It handled 3200 speeds well, though RAM was built for Intel and performs fine. It works with Ryzen but shows high latency around 77ns—same issue as before. Readers mention similar concerns; I can adjust the latency setting if needed, but I’m not sure.
I only ensured my memory operates under the XMP profile set to 3000MHz, as required.
Someone mentioned dram speed has limited effect on performance compared to earlier Ryzen models. Your BIOS settings for overclocking aren't specified here.
It's quite similar to what I mentioned earlier, as I've just begun using the new feature here for VRM and DRAM. After it appears in my BIOS, I review it and take pictures. I'll only share the changes I made because there are so many options in the BIOS first. Initially, I adjusted the settings on the right side.
It seems you're checking if the changes improved your RAM performance and reduced latency, especially in AIDA 64. Let me know how it went!
I can review this over the weekend because of time limits, but I'll inform you once I updated my bios.
