Meh, I'd have to see some comparative binning and data the CPU holds before going that far.

AMD is getting 99% from the wafers with Ryzen which tells me they bin them properly.

This is scary. Can you please link the article ? Thanks

Hello mate,

So, long story.

I had a Gaming K4 on the hand so I decided to socket the 1700X in the Gaming K4.

I install Windows, install some drivers. Then not having the Instant Flash program on the MoBo I decided to go to sleep.

Following day the MoBo was dead... I didn't even touch the BIOS.


Sent the AsRock Gaming K4 to RMA. AsRock sent me another one. I start then to have suspicions on the CPU.

I decided to buy a r5 1600 to make further tests.


And here everything changes. I just dump on the K4 the Sapphire Power Boost and set my other RAM stick to XMP1 (2400 MHz).

Everything smooth.


So I put the 1600 in the Professional Gaming. Slapped 3800mhz, 1.37v. XMP1 (2933mhz), with no additional tweakings. Everything works completely fine.


At that stage I had enough evidence to send the CPU back to RMA. AMD sent me another 1700X. Things are better. For the moment I have simply Sapphire Boost enabled and XMP1 (2933) enabled.

It functions very well (to know, OCCT would have instacrashed with the first CPU). I will see when I will have more time if I can push further, but had some troubles with 3800 on the CPU and 2933 on the RAM, but I didn't dig too much.

Maybe in one year I'll give another shot, but this story took a lot of time.

So I'm not sure if the MoBo isn't providing enough juice to the CPU, or if the 1700X have a problem... But I'm fine at 3600+2933

So I'm not sure if the MoBo isn't providing enough juice to the CPU, or if the 1700X lineup a problem... But I'm fine at 3600+2933, Multithread capacity is super strong and gaming wise it doesn't make a difference. I'm not pushing the CPU too much, everything is at advertised.

However I'm not sure I'd buy again such an expensive Motherboard. The Gaming K4 is LARGELY enough and is already a high end mobo.

I believe I succeeded in having a stable 3.9ghz with:

- ram on auto (2133)
- 1.37v
- LLC 2
- LLC SOC 2
- C State disabled
- C6 disabled

aaaaaaand

- SOC Voltage 1.2

Can't succeed in having a stable RAM above stock 2133mhz]]> Sat, 08 Apr 2017 15:58:02 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4773&PID=26839&title=1700x-x370-gaming-pro-cant-succeed-in-oc#26839 <![CDATA[1700X - X370 Gaming Pro - can't succeed in OC : Anyway, Nothing to do, even with...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4773&PID=26690&title=1700x-x370-gaming-pro-cant-succeed-in-oc#26690 Author: dinin70

Anyway, Nothing to do, even with XMP disabled at auto settings for the RAM, 3.8ghz @ 1.37v the system crashes after 20m OCCT...

3.9ghz crashes almost instantly (5 minutes)
I checked no pin is bent, re-socketed the PSU MoBo and CPU cables. All voltages are very stable (vCore, +12V, +5V etc).

Am I right assuming there is something wrong with the Hardware?
 
The PSU is a Corsair RM1000x that was powering a 8350 and CF Fury --> with a load way higher than current R7 1700 + single Fury.

I would never use software to OC my CPU.   I don't think it's even been updated in a month.

I heard it uses absurd amounts of Load line calibration.
