Ryzen 7 1700X - Trident G.Skill 3600Mhz Overclocking - Guide in Detail
Vellinious: Wakeupdog: Ok, ok, ok hold up. I need to start over from my previous post. I was an idiot and didn't realized i needed to actually start typing into the Voltage field to change it. Let's take a step back since I am now able to change the voltage. Also, I read up on the whole 8-Pin/4-pin. The 4-Pin is optional and I read that it would only be necessary if you are doing LN Cooling @1.6v+ 1. "I would change the voltage on the memory to manual." - I can, indeed, change the DRAM voltage. 2. It should be running 1.35v. Might have to run it a little higher to get the rated speed to run. I wouldn't run over 1.4v for a daily clock, though. I set the DRAM voltage to 1.4000v 3. External Digi+ Power Control section: -VDDSOC Load Line Calibration lvl 2: Done -VDDSOC Current Capability 120%: Done -VDDSOC Phase Control to Extreme: Done - Same thing for the memory settings: Done - Set the memory boot voltage to 1.4 to start.: DONE 4. For now, leave the SOC voltage on auto. Pay attention to what it runs....it'll show up in HW Info. Should be around 1.1v to 1.2v. Yes is is hovering around there Attempt #1: After doing everything you suggested, I tried to boot with 3600MHz. It would not post Attempt #1.5: I upped the DRAM Voltage to 1.42000v. and the BOOT Voltage to 1.440000v Did not post, error C9 Attempt #2: I lowered the DRAM Clock speed to 3466Mhz. It posted and is stable after 5 Cinebench's in a row. Then my PC crashed while gaming, not jsut the game, the whole PC. Error code "8" and DRAM LED blinking. Attempt 3: I lowered the DRAM Clock Speed even further, down to 3333MHz Stable so far. Moving Forward: What else can i do to boot into 3600MHz? You're starting to move past the point where I'm going to be any good to you. Memory really isn't my thing. CPU...GPU, I'm there. Memory? Eh.... There's some really good overclockers in this thread here, though. I would suggest letting them take it from here. http://www.overclock.net/t/1628751/offic...ity-thread Thanks so much for your help dude! =)

Alright, let's pause for a moment. I realize now that I had to actually enter the Voltage field to adjust it.
Let's go back a bit since I'm currently able to modify the voltage.
I've reviewed the 8-Pin/4-pin setup – the 4-pin is not essential, and it seems only needed for LN Cooling @1.6v+.
Here are some notes:
- I changed the DRAM voltage to manual.
- The system should be running at 1.35v, though I might need a slight increase for optimal speed. I won't exceed 1.4v for daily operation.
- I set the DRAM voltage to 1.4000v.
- External Digi+ Power Control settings are all confirmed as done.
- Memory boot voltage was set to 1.4 to initiate startup.
- I left the SOC voltage on auto and monitored the HW Info – it's hovering around 1.1v to 1.2v.
That's the expected range.
Attempt #1:
After following all your advice, I tried booting at 3600MHz but it didn't start.
Attempt #1.5:
I increased the DRAM voltage to 1.42000v and raised the boot voltage to 1.440000v. No start – error C9.
Attempt #2:
I reduced the DRAM clock speed to 3466Mhz. It started up and remained stable after several Cinebench runs. However, during gaming, my PC crashed completely – not just the game, but the entire system. Error code "8" appeared, and the DRAM LED blinked.
Attempt #3:
I further lowered the DRAM clock speed to 3333MHz, which has been stable so far.
Moving Forward:
What additional steps can I take to achieve a 3600MHz boot?
You're moving beyond where I'm likely to be helpful. Memory isn't my area of expertise. CPU and GPU are covered; memory is not.
There are some excellent overclockers in this discussion, so I'd recommend they handle it from here.

Thanks a lot for your support! =)
Sorry I wasn't able to help further. The OCN team should be ready to take over from here. Good luck!
