can't do simple OC from 3.0 to 3.2 Ghz

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here's the system description:
   Ryzen 7 1700
   Asrock AB350M, AMI BIOS P3.10 v. 5.12
   2x G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB 2666

The default mode seems to be 3.0 Ghz and dual channel DRAM, with the two SIMMS.  I thought it would be "a piece of cake" to simply OC to 3.2 Ghz.  Can't do it!  I've set the CPU clock in the BIOS screen (Manual -> Auto) and entered 3200 Mhz; also went to the P-State controls and again (Manual -> Auto) and entered 3200 for P1 and P2.  The "main" BIOS page still shows CPU speed = 3000 and when I boot the system and examine clock frequency it is still at 3000 Mhz.  Evidently there are other BIOS parameters that must also be set/enabled to allow 3.2 Ghz.  Any clue what the other "necessary and sufficient" settings are?

	Please use the ASRock support form, and provide the details https://tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp When using a gmail account always check your spam folder When you have a FAT formatted USB stick, you can make BIOS screenshots with f12, and send them as a JPG attachment
