Ryzen 7 1700 stable OC
Ryzen 7 1700 stable OC
Hello everyone, I'm back with more beginner questions again. I'm trying to figure out how to overclock my Ryzen 7 1700. I have very little experience with overclocking and want to boost my CPU's performance. My setup includes:
Ryzen 7 1700
Asus x370pro mobo
Corsair H100i cooler
Corsair 3000mhz 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X
Corsair RM 750X PSU
Samsung 850 evo+WD Black (if it helps?)
NZXT S340elite case
Could someone share their experience? I'm just starting out and would really appreciate any stable overclock settings for my build. Also, a quick question: does overclocking my CPU affect its longevity even if I keep it safe and stable? Thanks!
Keep the voltage below 1.4v and the temperatures under 75c. I am confident your cooler will make this manageable. Just keep in mind to increase the voltages gradually from the original settings. Don't worry about crashes—they're just the system safeguarding itself. This might require a slight adjustment to the voltage. You'll likely also need to apply VDDCR Load Line Calibration to prevent the CPU voltage from dropping during overclocking when under load.
There are many tutorials available online. If you proceed slowly, you won't harm your CPU.
Regarding memory, you can adjust the clock speed in the BIOS under memory frequency settings. However, you might need to wait for a BIOS update if this is necessary.
The tutorial is helpful, but not every CPU can reach the same overclocking speed.
urbancamper is asking about a tutorial video and its relevance. They want advice on whether to follow it step by step and which tool to use for stability. They also mention using apps like prime95.
I'm not sure about going to 4.1 with it. It looks like a big jump for that chip, but I generally go with it except for your memory—it might be faster.

I'm not sure about going to 4.1 with it, seems like a big overclock for that chip. But I'll follow it most of the time. Except for your memory, if it's faster. Honestly, I'm okay even at 3.8 ghz because I want to stay safe and it's an editing build so it runs nonstop most of the time. Also, could you tell me how to keep the stability of the OC up? Will it affect my components in any way around that speed?
Additionally, I have a 1x16 GB 3000MHz Corsair RAM, but it won't go above 2133 MHz even after updating the BIOS.
The concept involves beginning with reduced voltages and gradually increasing them. Adjust the voltages in tiny steps.
Maintain voltage below 1.4v and temperatures under 75c. I am confident your cooler will handle it. Just adjust the stock voltages gradually. Don't worry about crashes—they're just self-protection measures. You might need to slightly increase the voltage. Also, consider using VDDCR Load Line Calibration to prevent CPU voltage drops during overclocking under load.
There are many online tutorials available. If you proceed slowly, you won't harm your CPU.
For memory, you can modify the clock speed in the BIOS under memory frequency. However, you may need a BIOS update for this feature. Also, after performing a BIOS update, reset the BIOS to its default settings before use.
