[SOLVED] Ryzen 1700 at 4.9ghz?

[johnchoctossen]

Hello, I've overclocked my 1700 to 4ghz through the bios, but on cold boots my X370 Taichi will cycle a few times before booting up and I usually lose me OC. Every once in a while when it boots up Windows Task Manager shows a base speed of 4ghz and speeds up to 4.9ghz and geekbench does as well. CPUZ, MSI Afterburner, HWMonitor and Ryzen Master all show my frequencies bouncing between 3.2ghz and 3.75ghz. I'm pretty sure the CPU is running at the higher speeds because I'm getting a Cinebench score of 1907 multicore (all cores hitting 4.2ghz during benchmarking)/202 single core and Userbench shows ridiculous results as well. My guess is that the CPU clock has run into some crazy number like 150 or 160mhz and the multiplier is staying the same. I say that because the rest of my system is now overclocked as well. Non-bugged bios OC leaves my GTX 1060 6gb with a 92 Octane Bench score, with the weird bug I'm getting a 128 (without touching afterburner). My Samsung 960 Pro is running beyond spec as well, as is my ram. My question is-am I destroying my components? HWMonitor and Ryzen Master say the temps on the CPU max out around 58C under load. GPU temps are nearly 60C under load (with custom fan curve), and the 960 Pro hits 55C under load. Two screenshots http://

So what is your question?

@terry4536
Just want to know if I'm damaging any components running in this weird OC'd state.

Try using the motherboard BIOS (without Ryzen Master) to manually set your overclock to 4.0 GHz. Set the multiplier to 40 and leave the other settings to auto. Try that and see if the problem improves.

I doubt that you are doing damage if it is just momentary. But it doesn't sound normal either. You may want to consider updating the motherboard chipset driver and BIOS.

I'd like to keep this overclock going as it seems to be a massive improvement. I can hit 4ghz setting the multiplier in the BIOS, is it a bad idea to try cranking up the BCLK? I've never tried that, but I guess that's whats happening right now. Check out these benchmarks http://

No, Base Clock overclocking isn't going help much, and it tends to be unstable.

Messing with the base clock can brick video cards and storage devices since it overclocks everything in your system. I dont think your cpu is actually at 4.9ghz. That is incredable for that cpu.
