Running overclock on my Ryzen CPU leads to system crashes.
Hey everyone.
So basically all my new parts for my computer arrived along with my Ryzen 1500x, B350m Gaming Pro Motherboard and DDR4 Ram.
I put the parts in and everything was going well when i booted and went to bios, before i did anything changed my boot device and then booted into windows. Everything was stable when i was playing games and doing a stress test when the 1500x was at it's stock clock of 3.6Ghz. So seeing this i went back to bios and amp'd it up to 3.8Ghz as well as test different core voltages (The max on this motherboard is 1.4000v).
Unfortunately, every different voltage i tried to optimize all kept causing my PC to crash while in games. Temps were fine seeing i have a water cooler so this is very odd and i am wondering if this is maybe a fault with something i purchased or maybe something else. Thanks!
Full Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 1500x
GPU RX 480 4GB
MOBO: MSI B350M Gaming Pro
PSU: INTEGRATOR 500W 80Plus Bronze
SSD: Kingston Savage 240GB
RAM: XPG Adata DDR4 8GB 2400mhz
CPU COOLER: iD-Cooling FrostFlow 120-R AIO CPU Water Cooler
Consider using 3.7Ghz and gradually raise the voltage until you reach a level where you feel uneasy. If it prevents you from overclocking, it might mean the chip isn’t designed for that. Also, I need to know if replacing it would be a good idea given this issue.
