overclocking my voltage not working? stuck at +0.204v on my Aorus B450 pro board

[omagi55]

Hi guys, I am new to overclocking. I have a Aorus b450 Pro and Ryzen 5 2600. I watched youtube guides on overclocking but i cant seem to set my core voltage to 1.3-1.4v. Im stuck at +0.204v is my motherboard broken or something? I watch other guys overclocking on youtube and they can set their voltage freely my wont even reach 1.0v. 🙁

Heres the picture

That problem is a common problem with early bios revisions. I would reset the clock and update your bios and then try oc again

How can i update my bios? sorry really have no clue on these things.

It varies depending on motherboard. You likely need to grab the latest bios file from gigabyte s product page for your motherboard and follow the instructions. My msi board requires me to put the file on a usb stick and then select the flash mode from my bios. After a restart it will flash the latest bios on the mobo.

You may also need to enable an expert mode with less restrictions in your bios.

Just updated my bios from F2 to latest F4 will check the expert settings in my bios. Thanks man! I'll let you know how it goes wish me luck hehe.

Still the same i can only go 0.204v. I was really hoping to get 4.0-4.1GHZ at 1.4v stable but i guess i bought a bad mobo. i should've picked Asus, overclocking on Aorus sucks 🙁

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I don't know what the problem is. I don't know why it would limit the voltage applied. You could contact Gigabyte about this issue.

That's not vcore, that's how much your computer can lower the vcore when not in heavy use

Yeah thats the settings i was looking for same on the youtube tutorial. But to no avail.. My motherboard doesnt have that option. 🙁 I am planning to change mobo now i am choosing between MSI B450 tomahawk or Asus b450-F.

I see. So my Aorus b450 pro voltage cant be change? I dont have the proper voltage option to set it from. Ive been exploring every nook and cranny but cant seem to find the option like in the tutorials. I am plannong to change mobo now, Should i go for MSI b450 tomahawk or ASUS b450-F?

your at the right place but that is an offset. i set mine at 0.174 or 0.176 its one of those to get a 1.35v for the cpu. running at 4.0ghz
gigabyte b450 aorus pro wifi ver 1.0

stick with what you have try setting the volt at 0.174-0.176 and 4.0ghz i do hope that you have a better cooler for your cpu by the way

Oh i see. when i put +0.174v my volts would become 1.35v? how about 1.25v what number should i put? Thanks for this comment almost bought a new mobo. I am using Cryorig H7 quad lumi for my cooler. May i please know what the max i can go? what is the code for 1.425v?

 

[Supahos]

If .174 is 1.35 just add and subtract what you want... FYI .)1.35 is basically max don't go above that

Oh i see. cause i watched on PaulsHardware's tutorial he said 1.425 is max safest voltage?

 

[Supahos]

AMD basically said 1.35 most seem to think 1.38 is okay too. I wouldn't go any above that for more than a show off benchmark run

Thanks sir! I thought 1.425v is safe lol! Luckily i asked here before overclocking mine. I am currentlyat 3.9GHZ on all cores @1.25v using Ryzen Master i think its stable i run Aida64 for 4hrs straight capped at 65c underload using my cryorig h7. And tried playing PUBG and getting 130-145fps stable with AA:Ultra,Texture:High,Distance:medium the rest V.Low. I overclocked my gtx1060 6gb also +120core & +350memory. I really dont intend to OC mine to the max just a Mid range OCis good enough for me

 

[Supahos]

Sounds good all around

Thank you very much Supahos, you helped me alot and also remixislandmusic and mxxroque! Wish you guys the best in life!

If you set it at the max voltage as you had implied in your earlier message of 0.205 that should put you at around the 1.425 your looking for. In this Mobo you just adjust the offset to get the voltage you want. It has a fixed voltage of 1.2 so with the offset you go bit by bit.

 

[omagi55]

@mxxroque sir, i tried ocing now on my
Aorus and set my Dynamic Vcore (DVID) @ +0.150v with 4ghz on all cores. I ran cinebench it passed, currenty running aida64 im in 20mins now all good. In cpu-z it says my core voltage is 1.260v. Do i still need to up the voltage from +0.150v to +0.174v? Cause it says here im only at 1.260v in CPU-z? Or as long aida64 doesnt encounter problem i will be good with +0.150v 4.0GHZ oc? Sorry for my bad english.
