| Hello there! I just built my very first PC. I have a x370 taichi motherboard updated to bios ver. 2.30, ryzen 7 1700cpu cooled by the led wraith stock cooler and 16gb ddr4 3600mhz corsair vengeance lpx ram. I'm a complete noob at overclocking so I decided to do a slight overclock especially since I am on the stock cooler. The thing is even though I go above 3.0ghz, on the "about" section on windows it still says that my cpu is running at 3.0. On Cinebench is the same thing and the benchmark results dont change even though I overclock it. On the BIOS it also says 3.0 but when I go to OC tweaker it still has the settings I changed... I dont know what Im doing wrong since O have seen many people overclock on the same mobo without any problems. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! |

| Hello. I was about to write and update saying tjat I was able to overclock. I think the problem was with the ram that was on the xmp profile. When I changed that to auto I had no issues overclocking. |

Is that on the stock cooler? I don't know if people can get to 3900 on the stock cooler, on my Corsair H110i AIO I can reach 3.9 at 1.29 volts. ------------- Taichi X370, Ryzen 1700 @ 4ghz, 32GB G.Skill TridentZ Ram, Samsung 960 EVO nvme, Intel 600P nvme, 2TB Seagate HDD, 2TB Hitachi HDD, 1TB Mushkin SSD, GTX 1080 |

| I had seen that video and that was one of the reasons I did not understand what was happening because I had followed the basic overclock steps he mentions. I just hadnt noticed that the Ram speed was at 3200mhz. When I lowered it I was able to overclock without problems. I successfuly clocked to 3.8 but the temps were too high. On 3.7 the temps were lower but too high still. I have it on 3.6 on stock voltages with 2900+mhz ram and on aida 64 stress test temps stayed between 70-72. I still need to check stability on prime95. |

(in case your wondering) the ram i run is gskill trident f4-3200c15d-16gtz (its the trident 2x8gb kit with samsung b dies) myself and another person on overclockers have this exact same ram and both systems have ran it from all bios versions at correct speed simply by clicking the xmp BE WARNED the f4-3200c16d-16gtz kit is NOT the same it dosnt use the samsung b dies, results will not be as easy (so if you or any future reader wants to try this ram do not try to save $20 with the cheaper c16 kits) ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
