Question I need help with a ryzen 2700x

[c1ick]

So, I just got a 2700x because they are on a great sale right now and I needed more for streaming than a 6700k. So, after I got the 2700x installed I immediately started overclocking and was able to get up to 4.3 on 4.5v I think it was. I then dialed it back to 4.2 after a crash on 4.4. Then idk when it exactly happened but, instead of a score of 1721 on 1.35v (which I looked up and I think I should have a higher score than that but, let's ignore that for now) I got a 1450 I think it was and I tried everything for hours after that to get it back to the old score. Such as clearing cmos, more voltage, higher ram overclock, the pbo, putting it back on stock settings, everything I could think of. But, the weirdest thing about whats happening is that the same thing happened on my 6700k. It dropped from a 890 to like 650 or something. So im at a loss here and need help.

I mean 1. if I was talking about voltage btw.

There is no need to over clock they overclock them selves and you were doing yourself a disservice

I PM'd a member that I trust that has a LOT of experience with a 2700x, hopefully he will reply here when he has the time.
His thread here may have some info that will help you:

Dmann are you sure it was me ?
What the specs of the system ?
How old are the parts and or has anything been carried over from another system?

Yes, I'm sure you know more about the 2700x than most people.
How many days did I watch you do your research and then test your 2700x on your ROG Strix X470.
You earned my respect , watching you meticulously work out your OC.
If you need my help, I'm here.

I will give it my best shot.
Is the op here.

Make sure:

• BIOS is updated
• You did a clean install of Windows when you got this CPU/mobo, and that all updates are installed
• Latest AMD chipset drivers installed
• BIOS is at stock settings (clear CMOS again)
• Then enable memory XMP profile

Not at the moment, but ask any questions you feel you need answered and when he comes back online I'll PM you.
PS
I PM'd him and asked him to post his full system specs so we know what he is working with.

Thank You Dmann
It was a month or just over And It was Hair Pulling, and not very nice words said at times LOL

Hopefully the 4.5v is a typo

 

[TJ Hooker]

Yeah, I'm assuming that's supposed to be 1.5V. Which is still too high for Ryzen 2k from what I've read.

Although the fact that 7nm Ryzen 3k is apparently fine with up to 1.5V really does have me scratching my head on what safe voltages are these days...

Edit: Too high for a manual fixed voltage I should say. Auto voltage has different limits, as it takes into account CPU load and power and whatnot, and is therefore still safe at voltages high enough that they'd be unsafe for a fixed voltage. Or so I've heard.

 

[Crosslhs82x2]

The only times I has seen it @1.5v is when I was Letting mine go with XFR@ and Pbo in the beginning
well before my bios update adventure.
I do know kinda as gage with my friends 2700x he was doing the same thing when he built his with the 2700x,
he left his g.skill trident z 3200 at just the xmp and scored 1850 on cbr15.
so his is low and just over my 2600x right now.

I definitely know you spent a LOT of time (some of it frustrating) getting your OC stable.
But I also know you learned a lot in the process and taught me a few things along the way.
You have some very hard earned experience with your CPU that I and most others don't.

 

[Crosslhs82x2]

Again Thank You!!!!!!!
The new bios's are causing alot of problems for those of us still running 2000 series cpu's.
I have posted on asus forum many times about that there should Be a Warning on the bios link Do Not update if you are not installing a 3000 series cpu.

 

[Crosslhs82x2]

Tj I think i will have scars from pulling so much hair out.LOL

 

[Crosslhs82x2]

I have sent the op a note that it is Late and I have to get some sleep. I let him know I will be home about 3pm Us mountain time and will be keeping an eye out for updates thoughout the day.
Later Guys
