[SOLVED] R7 2700 OC

[STICHY_BOY]

so i have a R7 2700 that i overclocked to 3.7 ghz and it stays 63 C with stock cooler
its max clock speed is 4.1 ghz and its base is 3.2 so is 3.7 ghz enough or should i try more

Is it turbo'ing beyond 3.7GHz?

Out of the box, under the right temperature conditions (and power profile in Windows), you should be boosting to around 3.9GHz all-core anyway.

A 3.7GHz "overclock", if it's pegged at 3.7GHz is actually limiting performance vs 'stock' operation.

so basically my cpu has something called a game mode which when enabled make cpu 3.7 ghz so i activated it via bios should i turn it off or try to overclock more ??

Turn game mode off. Run a game and see what the clockspeeds are.

• Turn that off
• Set stock operations in the BIOS (but enable XMP/D.O.C.P).
• Enable "High Performance" power plan inside Windows.

Then put a load on the CPU (Cinebench or similar) and monitor how the clock speeds perform inside RyzenMaster.

There's very little "overclocking" headroom on these chips - but unless you're thermal throttling, or have a board with exceptionally poor power delivery, you should be running at >3.7GHz out of the box.

okay ill try that later and keep u updated i hope you respond 😀

so i did that and i got peak was 3.3ghz i have a msi b450m gaming plus and my edc was at 99 percent and my tdc on 95

and btw i have the standard R7 2700 not the X

Your motherboard should be adequate for your CPU. The 2700 has a 3.2ghz base clock, so it sounds like it isnt turboing.

Is turbo technology enabled in bios? What did you use to load the CPU? What were temps?

 

[STICHY_BOY]

and i put it on windows

i used cinebench my temps are 40C

and i changed the power plan to windows preformance and immediatly started testing

 

[NightHawkRMX]

What are you using to monitor clocks?

3.3ghz is unusual.

using ryzen master but i got a 100 percent edc idk what that means and its put on auto

A quick google search reveals the EDC refers to the VRM capabilities.

Try windows balanced power plan and then clearing CMOS if that doesnt work.

when i turn game boost on it goes to peak 3.7 ghz i tried resetting to stock settings but goes to 3.3ghz on ryzen master when on load i tried puting power plan to high preformance didnt change anything

so i benchmarked my setup and when on stock it says my cpu turbo is 3.3 ghz and when on gameboost its says turbo is 3.7ghz

 

[NightHawkRMX]

You didnt answer my question. Is turbo enabled in bios?

 

[STICHY_BOY]

You didnt answer my question. Is turbo enabled in bios?

when i go to cpu oc setting turbo is set to auto i think which should mean its on

 

[STICHY_BOY]

You didnt answer my question. Is turbo enabled in bios?

a quick google search reveals that cpu turbo is by default enabled
i tested my cpu on high preformance power plan and the default clock speed is 3.2 ghz but when on load it goes to 3.35 ghz

 

[STICHY_BOY]

i have an R7 2700 witha b450m mob the base clock of the cpu is 3.2 ghz but when i put it under load it doesent go more than 3.3ghz
whats the problem?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Have you tried clearing cmos completely?

 

[damric]

Weak VRMs and cooling will limit how high it can boost.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

What are your vrm temps? Hwinfo shouls tell ya.

My b350 gaming plus has a simmilar vrm to the b450m gaming plus and handles a 4.1ghz 2600 fine, so a 2700 should turbo no problem.

my cpu runs really cool so my vrm is pretty cool too its not a heating problem
