Ryzen 3 2200g has some problems when you turn it up to speed.
First of all, I am new to pc builds and I am currently on my first ever pc. If there is any clarification that is needed let me know! I have been trying to overclock my Ryzen 3 2200g. Here are the things I have tried in chronological order (consider this is my first time trying to overclock and I am trying to learn as I go): - I first overclocked my ram to 2800mhz (originally set to 2666mhz) and set the core frequency to 3800mhz, I also had set the Vcore to Auto (@1.4v). I had no issues and ran Cinebench to find a slight increase from a score of 361 to 473. I ran an Aida63 stress test (not very long like 10 minutes) and it was staying stable at ~88C. - I then bumped it to 3.825ghz (while vcore set to auto still) and redid the cinebench (got 522) and AIDA64 (again for not very long ~6 minutes). The temps were similar. - Then I finally I changed the Vcore from 1.4v to 1.4125v and changed the SoC to 1.2v (ram was also using ~1.35v), I increased the frequency to 3.85ghz. I booted and tried to run cinebench but my pc crashed. - I then rolled back the vcore to 1.4v and tried again and crashed again in cinebench. At this point I was monitoring cpu temps with HWinfo and saw an increase to 88C just before it crashed. - I then rolled back the frequency to 3.825ghz and tried cinebench again and it crashed. - Finally I rolled back to 3.800ghz @ 1.385v in which I got a score of 409 but about 3 minutes into AIDA64 my pc crashed again. Now I am sitting here basically back at square one. I worry as well that my idle temps are too high (during all the tests it was around 63-69C). I am not sure what I should tweak and why my pc keeps crashing. I know this is a lot of information but I just wanted to let everyone know what I did just in case i messed something up in the middle (It is my first time overclocking). If I didn't say I changed something then i haven't changed it from the previous step/attempt. -I am running on the stock cooler as well. I have 2x4gb RAM @ 2666. I have a RX 580 8gb as well. I want to try to get at least a 3.825ghz OC with stable enough temps (<90C) to game. I am not sure if that is possible for this chip (or if it is good for longevity). Please let me know what I missed and what I can do to achieve this! Thank you all!
The voltage on your 1st gen Ryzen APU is way too high. I suggest dropping it to under 1.35V and using an HSF cooler. Don't bother trying to overclock the 2200G, because upgrading to a new CPU like the 3300X or 3500X would make your system work much better for you.
The voltage is way too high for the first-generation Ryzen APUs, so I suggest keeping it under 1.35V and using an HSF cooler. Trying to overclock with a 2200G isn't really worth it; just get a new CPU like a 3300X or 3500X instead. It will perform way better.
Could it just be my processor? I've seen some folks push their CPUs up to about 3.8GHz with low voltage like 1.4v (maybe my chip is just not that good). I'll try setting it to around 1.35v, but what frequency should I pick? Should I go for 3.75ghz? Also, if the prices drop a bit, I might upgrade to an R5 3600 or a 1600AF. Thanks!
