Question How to overclock a Ryzen 7700X ?

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Increase the CPU multiplier by a few, increase voltage a bit for every extra multiplier. Increase the base clock, depending on how far you want to go. This is a general guide, look up guides on other websites or get more advanced advice from other users.

There's not much point in overclocking late Ryzen (5000x/7000x) series except for sport, gains are minimal if any and inmost cases lower single core performance with more heat and possible instability.
Better way is to maximize performance thru control of temperature and voltages while maximizing available power, Built in algorithms can take care of boost better than forcing it manually.
Non-x models can be coaxed to X model performance by higher voltages and more aggressive PBO.

So you’re saying I should just enable PBO and leave it at that?

There are a lot of tweaks that could be made thru and are part of PBO, Curve Optimization for core voltages for instance, very useful to keep voltages down and power up. Along with temperature and load, those are main parameters algorithm uses do decide on boost level and load distribution between cores. Some of reasons pure frequency is not as important as before. If any parameter exceeds set value some of load is transferred to another core. Intel does similar thing using E and P cores all without "help" from OS.
Those are some reasons latest CPU generations don't gain much from conventional overclock. Just give them right conditions and they'll do best job.

By "overclocking", there's two ways to go about this:
  • If you want to increase the boost clock ceiling, you have to enable PBO and tweak the parameters.
  • If you want all the cores to remain above the base clock speed equally, set the multiplier to a fixed value. However, this also freezes the clock speed to that.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I completely forgot to mention that the maximum voltage that doesn't crash is 1.25V and 5.45GHz. I have been able to hit 5.7GHz at times with using the boost override, but can't do much more than 150 boost override, or else ryzen master gets corrupted for some reason. Your thoughts on this?

You should look at minimum voltage it doesn't crash at. Unless overheating maximum voltage is not going to case crash.
