s about overclocking Ryzen 1600
Hey, maybe it's because I haven't changed anything on my FX8350 for quite some time, or perhaps I'm not grasping the complexities of a modern BIOS. I'm struggling to make my 1600 dynamically change its frequency based on load while running an overclock. I've done it before with my FX8350, so I should be able to do it too. Right now, my 1600 is at 3.8 Ghz and 1.3V, using manual voltage control and planning to switch to offset for better load-based adjustment. But if the frequency stays fixed at 3.8, what's the point? It doesn't seem necessary for basic tasks like browsing Chrome, but it would be helpful when handling large Photoshop files that need high export speeds.
For future reference, note that you do not have a Ryzen CPU.
Hello man :
Maybe this is because I haven't changed the settings on my FX8350 for a while, or perhaps I'm not familiar with a modern BIOS that works well. I'm struggling to understand how to make my 1600 adapt its frequency based on load even when overclocked. I know I can do it myself (I did). Right now, my 1600 is running at 3.8 Ghz and 1.3V. I used manual voltage control and plan to switch to offset so it can adjust voltage depending on the load. But why bother if the frequency stays fixed at 3.8? I don’t think 3.8 Ghz is necessary for basic tasks like using Google Chrome, but I need it when handling large Photoshop files that require high performance.
As soon as you set the multiplier in the BIOS, it shuts off power-saving features automatically. I’m not sure if I can change it back manually or if it will downclock afterward. As long as the voltage is dropping, running at that frequency isn’t causing any issues.

Setting the multiplier in the BIOS turns off power-saving features automatically. I'm not sure if I can change it back manually or if it will downclock afterward. As long as the voltage is dropping, running at that frequency isn't causing any issues.
Correct me if I'm wrong—if it's set to offset voltage it will decrease, but if not it will stay at 1.3 no matter the load?
Hello man :
Perhaps this is due to the fact that I haven't overclocked anything since my FX8350 about three years ago, or maybe I just don't grasp a modern and actually working BIOS. I'm struggling to understand how to make my 1600 dynamically adjust frequency based on load while running an overclock. I know I could do this with my FX8350 (I have done it). Right now, my 1600 is running at 3.8 Ghz, 1.3V. I used manual voltage control and plan to switch to offset so it can adjust voltage based on load. But what's the point if the frequency stays locked at 3.8? I don't feel I need 3.8 Ghz for using Google Chrome, but I want it when a 40+ layer Photoshop document has to export.
As soon as you set the multiplier in the BIOS, it automatically turns off power-saving features. I'm not sure if you can change it back manually, or if it will downclock after you did.
As long as the voltage is dropping, it's fine to run at that frequency.
Correct me if I'm wrong—if it's set to offset voltage it WILL decrease, but if it isn't, it will stay locked at 1.3 regardless of load??
I misspoke. With manual voltage control, it'll stay where you set it.
I'm not sure about offset voltage... I never use it. I either use manual or adaptive (when available).
