1800X Overclocking Fails

[tomkin64]

Hi,

first this is my Rig:

Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3 Rev 1.0, latest Bios
Ryzen 7 1800X
16GB G.Skill Trident Z silber/rot DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit
PSU Therma Take Smart SE 730W

Windows 10 with latest Drivers for all except the GPU***

Since i have Upgraded from an GTX 1070 to GTX 1080ti i cant overclock anymore.
Several Freezes an Bluescreens later i solved the Bluescreen Issue with Dongrading GPU Drivers to an older Version***.

But still if i use AMDs Ryzen master i cant go to 3,9 GHZ, my Rig will freeze sometimes after Minutes , sometimes after Hours.

I did Memtest for some Hours and it reported no Problems. Temperatures are normal.

Could it be a PSU Problem? It should have enough Power to run the System, but maybe there are Peaks that could force this Problem.

Regards

Tomkin

Hi tomkin

Your system is unstable and you need to conduct a stress test at stock frequency prior to Overclocking the CPU. I recommend AIDA64 for the test. You must attain stability at stock prior to OC.
As you have to rely on an onboard speaker to beep/detect any post related faults, I recommend obtaining one.
Do not Overclock using Ryzen master as you may corrupt your Bios. Clear CMOS back to default.

G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3200MHz is OC RAM and would need Bios Tweaking to Primary Timings and voltage to get them to work at their rated speed. Any XMP profile may not work.

The PSU is borderline and not the best for your MB and CPU combo. I recommend an 800-850W gold certified unit if you intend any expansion and especially if you want to overclock.
You should easily obtain 4GHz (with correct liquid cooling ofc)

It's your power delivery that's for sure. it's either the cheap B350 VRMs that can't handle the CPU OC or the PSU that can't handle the combined load of a OC 1800X + 1080 TI.
Since you mentioned that it started happening after you upgraded to 1080 TI I'd say it's the PSU.
Something like a Corsair RM750x or EVGA g2 750 would be good replacement.
