Question How do i boost/overclock with Amd Ryzen 7 3750h?

[maddawgmax]

Hey guys,

I've tried multiple software such as AMD Ryzen master, Amd OverDrive and lastly i tried the AMD Radeon settings. None of these options have led me to what i am looking for. I also checked in the BIOs and found nothing related. Any knowledge would be appreciated.

3750h is a locked mobile processor. You can't overclock it.

Ah i see. I was a little confused because it says the processor has a "Max boost clock" up to 4GHz. Thanks for the response though. I hope 2.3GHz is enough for me.

It will boost to 4Ghz under proper thermal and voltage conditions. That usually occurs under light bursty loads, not under heavy sustained loads. Since it's also a 35W TDP processor it might even hold some pretty nice intermediate clocks if the mfr. of your system included decent cooling on the CPU.

You can test for the boosting by getting HWInfo64 and the PCMark10 free demo available on Steam. Adjust HWInfo sensors to disable monitoring on anything but the CPU multiplier, then adjust the sample frequency to 500 mS. Running PCMark you should see occasional boosting to 4Ghz.

To see what kind of sustained boosting it's achieving with intermediate loads get CPU-Z and go to the BENCHMARK tab and run a stress test on 1, 2, 3 then 4 threads (or more if it has them). See how the multipliers behave as you increase the number of threads in the stress test, and over time, and you'll get an idea how good the cooling is.

Wow. Thank you so much for this information. Getting to this right now. You the man!
