Hey I'm new to overclock in watched alot ov YouTube vids but still having issues i have tried ryzen master and bios. No matter what I do or change bios resets on reboot . That and it feels to me the things I need to change are spread throughout the bios layout.im trying to pc my cpu and ram. Ram is trident royal z 32 gig 3600hz. Advice or any help would be appreciated I work 3rd shift so will replay as soon as I can ty in advance all
 
Solution
Same thing restared pc after oc and booted up and reset bios back to base clock
As said before, do one thing at a time. Leave CPU in stock configuration then try OC'g memory.

At this point, after a lot of struggling, I find it helpful to reset CMOS too as some settings may be illogically configured by my fevered attempts to get something working. Starting fresh just helps.

Also: never mix Ryznmaster overclocking with BIOS overclocking settings. That can lead to unpredictable results. Resetting CMOS is the best thing to do before starting to do RM overclocking.
Just do one at a time. Try bumping up the core clock on your CPU in ~100MHz intervals, then let it run Cinebench R20 or another benchmark for at least 15 minutes, an hour is standard. If it bluescreens or won't boot, revert to the previous setting, and there's your overclock. Then, if you don't already, enable XMP, your memory should run at its rated 3600 speed, which is the sweet spot for 3rd gen Ryzen. It's possible that you don't have any overclocking headroom, what cooler are you using?

Concentrate on getting memory clocked stable at 3600, that's a big help for Ryzen performance.

As said, overclocking Ryzen 3000 is pointless. Even those who think they're successful actually hurt light threaded performance and that's what helps gaming the most. Be sure to install the AMD chipset drivers, which installs a Ryzen power plan, and set up BIOS right by making sure processor clocks and voltage are on AUTO. Then...
Cool n Quiet ENABLED
Advanced C States ENABLED
Processor CPPC ENABLED
CPPC Preferred Cores ENABLED

If you really really really want to experiment with manual overclocks get Ryzenmaster and the new Clock Tuner for Ryzen utility. It helps you find a safe voltage as overclocking can damage the CPU if too high. The 7nm process is sensitive to high currents that high voltage drives in the cores. But the thing to do is run a CB20 benchmark both before and after to see if it improves or degrades performance. The more likely result is similar multi-thread performance and much degraded single thread performance.

Is Cool n Quiet not a bad thing to use if you have a half decent cooler?

No, with it enabled the boosting algorithm will pull clocks way, way back during true idle periods. It does that by core and very frequently, as often as 100 times a second, to save power. Advanced C states mean it will put idle cores completely into C6 sleep state, also up to 100 times a second, which is even lower power use.

The cooler can't compare to that but when the processor starts working hard the cooler is essential because the processor will stop boosting as high when warm. So keeping it cooler helps performance.

You'll also find that when the processor is working right you'll get temp spikes at idle that makes you think the cooler isn't working well or something's wrong. Nothing's wrong, that's the way it works as the processor boosts a core briefly from idle to process something. If the fans are pulsing you have to set a flat fan profile that ignores the spikes.

I was using dram calculator to overclock ram even when i input my safe specs it still crashed any other thing I can use to help with ram over clock read on another forum here people have got my ram to stable clock 3600hz with 16-16-16-36 but my bios keeps reseting to "optimized" settings

I'd try the DRAM Calc 'safe' settings for 3600 at 3200 to see if it will work there. There's often some trial and error, and a bit of iterating things, as you step up the overclock.

For my memory OC, I found that I had to increase DRAM voltage a lot to keep stable at 3600. DDR4 is specc'd to operate at up to 1.5V but generally speaking try to stay under 1.4V...unless you have Samsung B-die which is often quite comfortable up around 1.45V in high clocks.

As of right now just the stock wraith till my closed loop water cooler comes in

Bad thing is trident royal z is a hynix cjr type and I just use the zen 2 for cpu type?
 
Yes...zen2...and also the chipset for your motherboard. I suppose it makes assumptions about how the DIMM slots are wired so that's pretty important.

Oh yes, and be sure to put the DIMM's in the correct slots: 2nd and 4rth, going away from the CPU.
Just double checked

So hard to swallow and admit but I had one in wrong dimm slot and then ran my dram calculator and over clock took but not hitting my 3600 or 1800 per stick says only hitting 1066 per or 2132 total

update you can now marked as solved i have finally got everything properly overclocked and no more crashing ram at 1800 along with my infinity fabric with a cool 4.1 clock on cpu had to give it a break for a couple of days before i went back at it i appreciate all that has chimed in with a helping hand ty all
