Usual voltage for 4GHz on a 1700X

[adri_jimenez_n]

Hi guys, I am new to the PC master race and I am planning on building a new system for myself with a 1700X overclocked to 4GHz. I think I might go for the Crosshair VI Hero or the strix X370-f gaming motherboard.
I am new to overclocking and I wouldn't feel too comfortable pushing the voltage on the CPU around 1.45V or so. I know that every chip is different in terms on the OC you can achieve with a given voltage, but do you think it is likely to get 4GHz at around 1.35V?
Since march the bios and such have got much better, so I would expect to need less voltage than the initial reviews in march showed.
Thank you very much!

Edit: In case you are curious, here are the full specs:
R7 1700X
Crosshair VI Hero or Strix X370-f gaming
NZXT kraken X62 280mm AIO
2x16 Gb Trident Z RGB at 3000MHz
Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming or RX Vega 56 (if prices come down)
Corsair HX750i 80+ Platinum
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Tempered Glass

I will get storage based on sales and such. Of course I will have an SSD, maybe a 960 evo 250Gb.

This is the statistics of how much you could overclock your chosen CPU.

Ryzen 7 1700X
100% reach 3.8GHz @ 1.360V
77% reach 3.9GHz @ 1.392V
33% reach 4.0GHz @ 1.424V

Kasper, I have seen the thread on the ryzen binning that you show. That thread is from March 2017. I would like to know if things have improved since then and lower voltages can provide higher clocks.

 

[Kasper Jorgensen]

I don't think so. I have seen numerous threads in this forum with people asking for help as they cannot get above 3.8GHz. If this is a pure gaming rig you may either save yourself some money and go with the Ryzen 1600 or get more performance from I7-7700K.

Well, that is unfortunate. I will use my PC for productivity stuff with a lot of number crunching and heavy multitasking, so I am sticking to the 8 cores.

Then i would wait a bit and see how the new Coffee Lake compares to Ryzen.
Anyway, it's all about luck how high you can get your CPU. Some Ryzen will only go 3.8GHz and no further.

coffelake with 100$ corsair AIO is very hot reach 99° in games

intel create it with hurryup, under
ryzen pressure, eith very low material and low test, they will born soon

I know this is older, but I was also looking this up too. I've gotten to my R7 1700x with a seemingly stable 4Ghz on a voltage of 1.3125. I thought it was stable at 1.3, but after a CPU-z stress and then running Cinebench R15 back to back around 8 times it crashed. I then upped the voltage to 1.3125 and it was stable on all the same test with about 10 runs of r15 and the cpu stressing for like 15-20 minutes temp now higher than 63c that's with using a Cooler Master 212X with 2 fans running at 1300 RPMs. Then I gamed on it for about an hour and a half and seems good at that 4Ghz at 1.3125V. My Cinebench R15 score was around 1735, my highest at 4Ghz was 1745. I did get a successful Cinebench run at 4.1GHz @1.375 (score 1788), but it crashed after the 3rd try running it.
