Ryzen 7 2700 overclock issue in bios HELP PLS !!!!

[syceo]

PC SPECS
CPU: RYZEN 7 2700
PSU: SILVERSTONE SXF 600W 80+ GOLD
MOBO: ASUS STRIX B350 - I GAMING (BIOS VERSION= 4011)
RAM: HYPERFURY X DDR4 @2133
COOLING: AOI ID COOLING FROSTFLOW 240
GPU : EVGA GTX 1070 SC

Hi guys I recently purchased a R7 2700 (non x) with the view to overclock. The first thing I done was to try Ryzen master to get a rough idea of where my cpu max oc was before I attempted an oc in the bios. In ryzen master I can oc to 4.0 on all cores @ 1.4v stable however...... when i get to the bios i cannot change the voltage I can ONLY set an Ofset. In the bios it shows a base voltage of 1.0 volts seems to be locked ... In CPU Z it shows a core voltage of between 1.100 to 1.145 fluctuates. Am i right in amusing that in order to boot I will have to set an offset of 0.3000 in order to get to the desired 1.4v which will allow a boot. I had set the multiplier to 40 and had dialled in all other settings the max offset i have tried is 0.2000 all resulting in a failed boot . I must add that I have successfully booted at a lower speed of 3.8 at an offset of 0.2000, Im just concerned that an offset of 0.3000 maybe to high even-though ideally i need 0.3500 to be sure of stability.Finally Load line calibration has been set to level 2 of 5 levels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Uhm... If you're only able to set the off-set, then the BIOS might not really allow you to set a fixed CPU Speed.

Why don't you try to play ball with it and adjust XFR turbo speeds to 4.3Ghz instead? From my own experience (I have a 2700X), Precision Boost 2 is *really* capable to OC the CPU to high 4Ghz when there is thermal room available, but you have to keep in mind that XFR "OC" will make your voltages fluctuate a lot, so you might need to live with a few extra mili-volts to reach the max speed in all cores.

If you're dead set on fixed OC, then unless you manage to find a way to fix the voltage, I don't see much you can do inside the BIOS. Also, as far as I know, Ryzen Master saves the config somewhere in the BIOS anyway via the UEFI interaction shenanigans.

Cheers!

I can set a fixed voltage using the manual option thats not a problem. My concern with that a constant voltage will decrease the lifespan of the CPU hence why I wanted to set an offset so voltage is increased and decreased as and when required. I can also set the offset no problem... but in order to boot i have to increase the offset considerably in order to meet the required 1.4v for stability, what I want to know is whether or not increasing the offset to 0.3000 mili-volts is excessive . My stock voltage as mentioned before is between 1.100v to 1.145v if i add an offset of 0.3000 i will arrive at 1.4000v - 1.4450v unless im mistaken?? im just not 100% sure ideally i would like at least to add 0.3500 to the base voltage but im not sure if that would blow out the cpu ...

Oh, I see... Well, if it's any indication, my 2700X spikes up to 1.5v when reaching 4.4Ghz on its own, so...

I would say as long as it runs cool, it shouldn't reduce the lifespan of it. If it's running hot, then you might have to find a way to cool it a bit more or reduce the OC a bit.
