Ryzen 1200 overclocking help
MoBo: Asrock b350 pro4 bios 3.20
CPU: Ryzen 1200
GPU: GTX 1060 3GB Amp
Ram: 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz
I attempted to increase the CPU speed to 3.8 GHz via the BIOS, but after saving and restarting, it still won’t boot. The fans spin and lights come on, yet no startup occurs. I’ve tried these settings:
3.9 GHz at 1.3V
3.8 GHz at 1.29V
3.7 GHz at 1.29V
Despite these attempts, the PC doesn’t boot after any of the changes.
I also tried using AMD Ryzen Master to adjust the settings. It worked properly, allowing me to reach 3.8 GHz at 1.3V. Then I ran a stress test with Cinebench R15—successful for three runs, but on the fourth consecutive test, the system restarted. Now the machine won’t start.
What should I do? Why aren’t the BIOS settings functioning correctly?
Nothing is wrong; this is typical behavior.
When overclocking incorrectly, you first raise the clock speeds, and when instability occurs—such as a restart or BSOD—you then boost the voltage. You can push it to around 1.4v.
If the system fails to start, you'll need to reset the CMOS. Check your motherboard manual for instructions on how to jump the CMOS.
