The system is experiencing instability during the overclock process. Please assist.
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on boosting my computer's performance.
My setup is an X370 Asus Crosshair Hero with 2700x RAM.
The Trident z Neo 3600CL16 (sk hynix) model runs at 16-19-19-39 MHz.
Stability is consistent at rated speeds, but only when the CPU isn't overclocked.
When I attempt overclocking, even at 4GHz, the memory becomes unstable, regardless of speed.
My motherboard BIOS is the latest version 7601.
I've tried various tweaks and settings, but nothing seems to fix the issue.
Performance details:
- eCLK Mode - Synchronous
- BCLK Frequency - 100
- BCLK Divider - Auto
- Performance Enhancer - Default
- CPU Core Ratio - 42
- Performance Bias - None
- Memory Frequency - 3600
- Core Performance Boost - Off
- SMT Mode - Enabled
- CPU Core Voltage - 1.39125 (tested for RAM stability at 1.355V)
- CPU SoC - Manual 1.0 (no change from 1.15 didn't help)
- DRAM Voltage - 1.38 (1.419 shown in HWMonitor)
Other settings are mostly auto, except for the ones listed above.
In "Precision Boost":
- PBO - Off
- Manual CPU Boost Clock Override - 0MHz
- Platform Thermal Throttle - Auto
- External Digi+ Power Control:
- CPU LLC - Level 1
- CPU Current Capability - 100%
- CPU VRM Switching - Manual
- CPU Voltage Frequency - 400
- CPU Power Duty Control - Tprobe
- CPU Power Phase Control - Power phase response (manual adjustment, ultra fast)
- CPU Thermal Control - Ultra fast
Additional specs:
- VDDSOC LLC - Level 3
- VDDSOC Current Capability - 120
- VDDSOC Switching Frequency - Manual, set to 400
- DRAM Current Capability - 120
- DRAM Phase Control - Extreme
- DRAM Switching Frequency - 400
- DRAM Boot Voltage - 1.38
I've tested different CPU models and voltages, but nothing has resolved the stability problems.
Without external power controls, even at DOCP speeds, the RAM remains unstable.
I changed the CPU model to the latest one and set it to full capacity, hoping for better results.
It's still a bit of a challenge, but I'm keeping an eye on the progress.
Please help, I'm still new to this. I've done a lot of research, but I really need some guidance.
Thanks!
2nd Gen Ryzen supports 2993Mhz RAM by default. Anything above that is treated as an overclock. Running at a stable 3600Mhz is excellent. The motherboard performs well, though older Ryzen models might struggle with significant overclocking on both CPU and RAM (make sure to check for BIOS updates; newer BIOS versions could resolve the issue). Also note that even if the manufacturer claims support for overclocking, Electronics may impose different limits depending on the exact motherboard model.
