[SOLVED] Need overclocking assistance

[Marxez]

is your thaiphoon burner at the latest? if not, try to update it. and find out the ic.

I believe its the latest version but its also the free version. Could you tell me what IC is?

it should be micron, but not sure which one. thats why im asking you if it's the latest version, try to double check it. which series is your adata?

 

[Marxez]

Ok, if you type this in to google: XPG Z1 DDR4 2400 MHz (PC4 19200) 16GB (2x8GB) Memory Modules, Red (AX4U240038G16-DRZ) it should show on amazon. This is one of my rams. The other one should be this: XPG Gammix D10 2400MHz (PC4 21300) 16G (2X8GB) Memory Module Kit Red (AX4U240038G16-DRG)
I didnt buy a kit, i bought two different rams.
Here are pictures so you can find it easier: 1-2

I found a direct link to one of them. - Nevermind this is a 3200Hz version of mine.

I wouldn't dare to overclock it since i dont know which ic it is, given the low freq and loose timing.

If you wanted to decrease the latency more (which is beneficial to overall performance), i think it is better to go with 3600mhz kit, like Patriot Viper Blackout, Patriot Viper Steel, Team Dark Z Alpha (or Zα ), Team T-Create, Klevv Bolt X, and Klevv Bolt XR. All of them should be Hynix DJR/CJR.

I recommend the Patriot Viper Blackout 3600mhz CL17 since it is priced the same as all the kits given above, and it does have a Hynix CJR Chip.

My friends use a Klevv Bolt XR 3600mhz 16gb kit (Hynix DJR), and i helped him fine tuning his ram at 3466mhz (all timings not just primary) in his R3 2200G and it resulted really good, Here's the result:

Okay, thank you. I overclocked my CPU to 3750 and ran some tests. I used cinebench and i got much worse results than before the overclock. Above 3750 my pc crashes. Do you think my ram could be a problem? It says on the ram's description that its recommended for: AMD 300, 400, 500 series / AMD X570 / AMD B550 / Intel 200, 300, 400 Series

If it crashes then your bin is not able to touch above 3700. it's 1.35v on cpu voltage right?

 

[Marxez]

1.35v on cpu voltage right?

yes it's 1.35 and 1.15 for SOC

 

[Koekieezz]

yes it's 1.35 and 1.15 for SOC

stay below 3.7 or 3.6ghz isn't that bad. only ram is the one left to be worked on

 

[Marxez]

ram is the one left to be worked on

could my ram affect my performance in cinebench? before i started overclocking i had 3000+ points, now its 600. I am worried something isn't alright.

 

[Marxez]

I am thinking of things like the chipset i installed is not supported by my ram or something. I am not an expert though.

it should affect, knowing how ryzen works. Point is that the faster and the better the timing the ram you have, the less latency for infinity fabric, the better the performance.

I am thinking of things like the chipset i installed is not supported by my ram or something. I am not an expert though.

This has nothing to do with the ram as it is for the chipset itself.

Make sure it uses Amd ryzen balanced power plan, and the cpu all core clock is at 3.6 or 3.7ghz. if it does not stay constant, and turning below the overclocked state, then it is throttling.

The thing is for a better performance = Latest Chipset Driver + Lates Motherboard Bios. You could try to load optimized value on bios. save and exit, enter bios again and overclock the cpu again.

2400mhz for ryzen is pretty much hurting its performance.

balanced power plan

How do i check about balanced power plan?

 

[Koekieezz]

How do i check about balanced power plan?

Search for power plan in windows search.

Search for power plan in windows search.

I cannot find anything like this.

I cannot find anything like this.

It should be like this. Choose a power plan.

 

[Marxez]

It should be like this. Choose a power plan.

I think i found it it has the Balanced Ryzen Power Plan selected.

One thing i maybe should've asked. On this website the latest update says its not srecommended for Summit Ridge CPU-s and my Ryzen 5 is one of them. Could this be an issue?

You could try to load optimized value on bios after update. save and exit, enter bios again and overclock the cpu again.

Asrock does this, it's normal, my friends who use ryzen 2000 series are on their latest bios, and no problem, instead the performance is getting better. It seems that you asked alot, try to read what i've told you.

I tried this. It had no effect on anything. I don't know why my performance is worse than before but i hope i'll find a solution to this soon.

I've told you before if the frequency didnt stay the same while it is being benched, probably it is throttling. you should monitor the cpu clock and core voltage while testing it.

I keep testing it, currently 3600MHz is stable, so thats a victory for me.
