Can't Overclock at all

I'm having a similar issue now with mine, except it's only when using fixed voltage or offset of +.1 or more

It's stopping me at 3.9ghz

That is crazy, and makes no sense. Must be a coincidence, but not enough information to even know what happened.

Where do you see this error? Is it from Windows? Or before Windows boots?

How many drives are connected to the board? Are they all recognized in the UEFI/BIOS? Or in Windows if you can run it, not sure from your description.

Is your OS drive connected to the AMD SATA ports, or the ASMedia SATA ports? Your board has both.

I just installed my X370 Killer SLI/ac board's 3.00 UEFI with AGESA 1.0.0.6a, and my CPU over clock works the same as it always has.

Also, I have never seen the 1.5GHz "bug".  I just had a Windows 10 update applied today, and regardless of the Power Plan I select, my CPU speed remains at its OC at all times.

The one important thing to know is, I don't use RyzenMaster to OC. I think it does something with the UEFI/BIOS settings, possibly the P States, that causes the drop in CPU speed.

Are you saying I should reinstall my Windows? Personally, I'd rather not as I've already installed a lot of things, but if you say I should then... On a side note, could you tell me if what this guy is doing is correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Tw-wcT7o4 Specifically, just the first 5 minutes. He changes a couple of things other than the voltage and frequency. He also doesn't seem to be using latest BIOS, as I have CPU voltage under the frequency as well, where as he needs to change the setting at the bottom?

No. But the chipset drivers should be the 1st thing after the OS install finishes. You're good. Just d/l and install them, rebooting immediately after the install.


Oh heck no. That vid was shot back in March. We are light years ahead of there now concerning Ryzen BIOSes. Ignore it.

When you get back home PM me saying so and well come back here for some quick back and forths. But I have to lay down as I've felt better than I do now.

In the mean time, search using my UN and back a week or a pinch more you'll find some good starting out settings I posted that will usually get you higher there.

Meh, if you don't remember, odds are they aren't.

One sure fire way to verify is look at the Windows Power Plan. If you see a Ryzen Balanced, and that you did NOT install ONLY the Balanced plan, you have at least v17.10.

At any rate, let's have you (re-)install them. Regardless.

Scroll down to the lower middle column,  "AMD Chipset, AHCI, USB 3.0 and RAID Drivers"



FYI, these should be the VERY first anything you install after a fresh OS install.

Also, what ver of Windows?

Have you installed the 17.10 Chipset Drivers?
