So I went ahead and purchased the Ryzen 1600 (Should've got the 1700) and built a new.system with that and the Asus X370 Prime Pro Mobo.
I updated the bios when I finished building the system everything was pretty simple.
I had watched a couple videos on overclocking and understood what i needed to do some what.
When i put my overclock in bios 4.0ghz at 1.35 volts. I was surprised it too but I noticed that my PC was running kind of slow for 4.0 and it also just seemed way to easy for this to be a solid overclock. So i check Ryzen Master and said my CPU was running at 1.55ghz Im like WTF!!! Task manager & the bios was reading 3.99ghz but i just felt like something wasn't right.
So i went about messing around with it some more and did more overclocking.
So many trial and errors later. I tried to do 4.0ghz at 1.4 volts. The pc would load to windows, load to cinebench but would crash when i would do the test.
Im obviously not trying to go about 1.4 volts on a stock cooler no less.
So I backed it down to 3.9 at 1.4 same issue.
Then 3.8 at 1.4. It would load to aida but crash during Stress test.
I went back down to 3.7 at 1.35 with ram clocked at 2933.
(Ram speed is 3200 but, Ryzen wouldn't let me get past 2933 without crashing)
(I reverted back to old bios because i thought something was wrong with the bios)
I really wanted to at least be able to get up to 3.9 stable. Looks like i might have to try again at another time but as of right now. 3.7ghz/1.35v Is the best I could do and still be functional.
I plan on getting a aftermarket cooler (Had one but it didn't work as described)
Potentially a Hyper 212 EVO or Maybe 120 AIO.
Temperatures are manageable but could be better.
Hope I can get better overclocks when i update the bios again and add a better Cooler
What are the odds of me getting higher clocks with a new cooler?
