Hey there, friend! Let's talk about getting your Ryzen 5 1400 to shine even brighter. You're currently running at stock speeds with a solid 3.2GHz, but you're curious about pushing it further. Start by checking your RAM—your 8GB x2 at 3200CL16 is a great setup. For overclocking, aim for a stable voltage around 1.18V to 1.22V and a frequency that keeps up with your needs.
Your motherboard setup looks solid, but keep an eye on temperatures—especially in the hot Philippine heat. With AIDA64 max temps around 60°C, you’ll want to stay within safe limits. If you're using an 80+Bronze power supply, it should handle the load well, but monitor closely.
For your GPU, if you're using an MSI Armour RX570, aim for a stable 75°C at idle with the fan set between 50-60%. If you're using a TIA Precision or similar, consider starting at 1.35V and 3.4GHz, then tweak as you go.
Regarding the reset switch button—yes, you can attach it to short the BIOS reset, so you won’t need to open the case. Just make sure it’s secure and doesn’t interfere with cooling.
Keep an eye on temps, adjust voltages gradually, and don’t forget to check your system’s stability. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!
I’d begin at 4.0ghz with a 1.375vCore, checking stability by booting and running Cinebench R20 without issues or overheating. Gradually lower the vCore in small steps until performance drops. After confirming stability, consider boosting overclock (4.1+) and incrementally raise frequency and vCore—starting at 100mhz on the CPU, using the smallest step your board supports.
Thank you very much for the responses. I’ll try these approaches. I’ll keep you updated on the results. Good luck! 😊
I've adjusted my CPU settings to run at 3.7 with 1.3v and it works without issues. Trying a higher voltage like 4.0 caused crashes. At 3.8 with 1.35v it was unstable, but Cinebench r20 started successfully. RAM seems to be stuck at 3200 CL16 with DOCP set high; it's not posting. I'm now using 2666 CL16 and wondering if pushing to 3200 with a higher latency of around 18 would help.
You're getting 2800 MHz at 1.35V with auto timings on your CL18. To increase the voltage, you can try pushing it higher—just be careful not to exceed safe limits for your chip.
