Looking for some advice here.
System:
Motherboard: MSI X370 SLI PLUS
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 (Stock cooler)
Memory: 20 GB (G. Skill 16gb 3200mhz + Corsair 4gb 2133mhz)
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb
VBIOS: 7A33v36
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1511.10586)
Hey, OC noob here. Just build my first system ever. That said, with everything at stock, fresh out of installation, i launched Cinebench test and scored 1536 with 3.0Ghz. Then i finally went to overclocking after watching some videos, reading a little bit, etc. In the first try i changed memory speed to 2400mhz and cpu to 3.5ghz the result was no booting, no bios, no nothing. No choice but to clear cmos, and so i did. After that everything seemed to go back to normal, and i proceeded to overclock, this time only the cpu. And i was able to go 3.5 without messing with the voltage. But unexpectedly my cinebench score was much lower. Now at 3.0Ghz i'm only able to reach 1406. At 3.7Ghz with 1.2375V (stressed in AIDA64 for 3h, 78C max temp), my best score is 1478. Now i'm aware this RAM situation is not the ideal and i have another identical G. Skill arriving someday this week, but as i mentioned, i already had much better scores with the same temporary kit. As for general performance, i haven't had much time to test stuff (i plan on video editing, some 3d and gaming), so i can only speak for the last game i played on my previous cpu (i5-6500) - Deus Ex: Mankind divided - and that it is doing a little worse now. So anyone have any ideas as to what caused the performances to drop so much?
