Unable to overclock Ryzen 1600 on Asrock B450 Pro4
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I understand you're having trouble with the BIOS of the AsRock B450 Pro4. It sounds like you've had good experiences with the Gigabyte B450DS3H and are curious about applying similar settings to this board. Your setup includes a 1600 MHz processor, 1.35V, and you've run it smoothly for five months without issues. The VRM temperature stayed at a comfortable 65°C during games. You're using Nzxt Kraken X52 and want to try the same configuration on this board, but you're unsure about adjusting the voltage settings. Let me know if you'd like more guidance!
Yeah i saw mate, i was on default, i just wanna show you guys how i try the OC, but below, i have only 50-10-150-200 values sir, what is that? You can see in the picture, " I only used those down below when running offset voltage mode" what is this 150, there i need to change the voltage? So confuse it.
Based on what I recall from my experience, once you switch to manual overclocking mode, you just need to enter your chosen frequency and voltage settings. You’ve likely already done that with the 1.35v and 4000mhz clock. That setting might be a bit low for a 1600 MHz processor, but it’s fine—just try lowering the speed slightly to check stability. You may also want to adjust your Load Line Calibration (LLC) so the CPU actually receives the voltage you specified. The voltage offset compensates for the core voltage with a small positive or negative value. If you skip the negative sign, it usually defaults to a positive offset, which would add around 150mV to your 1.35v setting in the picture you shared.
You should consider using the offset Vcore voltage. It helps ensure consistency between SOC Voltage (VID) and Voltage(VID). The 1.35V requirement matches the Vid value on SOC Voltage. Thanks for your patience! Also, I’m glad you found the LLC option for Intel—disabling Global C-state Control is what you needed. Great job on getting this done!
