The Ryzen 1600 cannot be overclocked beyond its turbo speed.
The Ryzen 1600 cannot be overclocked beyond its turbo speed.
Hola, mi Ryzen 1600 funcionó bien hasta 3.6GHz en 1.35 (no hice una prueba de estrés extrema) y luego probé con 3.7GHz a 1.375v. Inicié correctamente y el Task Manager y Cinema Benchmark mostraron que estaba en 3.7GHz. Sin embargo, CPU Z y Ryzen Master indicaron 1.5GHz. Mi puntaje en Cinema Benchmark fue aproximadamente 600 puntos más bajo que cuando estaba en estado normal y alrededor de 700 puntos más bajo que cuando estaba a 3.6GHz. Los tiempos estuvieron normales y no creo que el voltaje fuera el problema. He visto un hilo donde alguien mencionó que un Ryzen 1700 no podía superar la velocidad de turbo, lo cual parece ser el caso aquí ya que 3.6GHz es su velocidad de turbo anunciada. ¿Tienes alguna idea por qué?
Are all automatic clock speed controls turned off in the BIOS?
LLC (Load Line Calibration), a bit higher? My setup is around level 1 or 2.
If you enable auto volt, it should settle near 1.4.
Try keeping it between 3.9 and 4.0 like that.
Then reduce the voltage manually to about 1.4 and test again.
Make small adjustments until it stabilizes.
I discovered I needed a couple of LLC levels to balance the spike when Cinebench or other all-core tests hit 100% usage. This allowed me to lower the voltage from the high auto setting.
If you only check with Cinebench, even auto volt won’t significantly change performance, so the benchmark isn’t that sensitive.
You can work backward from there to 1.4 or lower.
I increased the SOC voltage to 1.175 to keep the RAM speed at 3200 with a boot voltage of 1.4.
I’m unsure if your board offers this much adjustment capability.
BaylissLad asked about similar issues.
@exroofer provided details on performance problems under different conditions.
He mentioned crashes after overclocking, RAM failures, and the need to disable certain settings during overclocking.
He also noted that AMD cool n quiet should be turned off when overclocking.
If you notice 1.5 GHz on the desktop in CPU-Z, it seems like one of the motherboard features is still active when the load is light.
I’m not sure how much the MSI BIOS differs, so comparing my settings won’t be useful.
Could there be any default OC profiles in the BIOS? When I first got the board, it had a 4 GHz profile, which I applied.
It was stable enough but used more voltage than necessary. After reviewing the changes, I adjusted as much as possible while keeping 4.0.
I’m not recommending using a high-voltage default preset for extended periods; instead, load it up enough to observe its impact on achieving a solid OC.
Take some notes and proceed from there.
Hopefully, someone with that particular board can share a screenshot or details about their setup.
Game boost is turned off and Cool n quiet shuts down when you change the CPU frequency.
A profile would be a good idea. I’ll check what voltage it uses to reach the frequencies defined in the profile (Even if my motherboard has profiles or presets, I haven’t seen any before, so I’m not sure).
I’m using the Bios version 7A39v29 or 7A39v28. I updated the default to one of those that were latest at the time, but I don’t know which. I’ll check when I’m home. It should show the information in the bios?
Neither of those BIOS settings seems correct. It looks like I have version 28+, but an update note shows it was v27. One of the notes mentions that the CPU debug LED was off after an update, which wasn’t there before. In the OC tab, I see Core performance control set to Auto and Downcore control also set to Auto—what do these options mean?
Not sure on the MSI bios.
I have a ridiculously long list of things I can adjust on my Crosshair 6, some of which I'm afraid to touch lol.
One wonders if the two you mentioned are giving you the headaches though.
They sound like things that would auto adjust frequency.
Is there a "disabled" setting for those two?
BaylissLad:
The BIOS settings seem incorrect. It appears I have version 28+, but the update notes indicate a change—specifically, the CPU debug LED is off now, which wasn’t the case before. In the OC settings, Core performance control is set to Auto and Downcore control to Auto. I’m not sure what those options do. Downcore control lets you disable cores on the CPU, while Core performance control likely shouldn’t be set to Auto.
