Ryzen 5000 series overclocking guide

Seems like a bullshit tool. I already can reach 5.15 GHz. Not using an additional software to achieve the same thing.
 
Sounds good to me if it requires no effort and it is stable after the fact, although I m not holding my breath as the ryzen memory tool was chit for me and only caused BSOD’s for me.
 
All these tools have been crap including Ryzen Master. Best way is to use softwares to check stability and put that crap in the bios.
 
Ran CBR23 after a while. Nicehash and Epic games launcher was running in the background. :bleh:

 
But are those clocks actually 5100mhz? Because effective clocks are much lower.

Effective clocks are bullshit and don’t work properly afaik.
They are also averaged out so it hits 5.15 Gs on single core for maybe a few seconds before it will go to 4.7 Gs all core or thereabouts. Sometimes it stays at 4.65 Gs all core. It has a mind of its own which still pisses me off. I may end up getting RKL to have lower temps and peace of mind of clocks that are 24/7.

I think we all know for sure you will get RKL. ;)
 
What’s a good memory kit. DDR 3600 CL14 or DDR 3800 CL14. Also will I need to get 2 kits for 32 GB as price of 1 kit seems to be equal to price of 32 GB DDR4 3600 CL16.

Worth the bones to downgrade to 16 GB ram? Last I remembered there was some hitching due to 16 Gs as Windows alone takes up like 5 Gs without doing much.
 
I wouldn't downgrade to 16GB for a small bump in frequency or lower latency.

Your 5900X probably can't do 3800FCLK anyway. I wouldn't bother going above 3600 because of that. If you have B-Die, OC your memory manually and you can probably do 3600CL15, maybe CL14 with enough voltage.
 
I have shite die. It can barely do 3733. I think I am limited by ram and not FCLK. I tried running ram at 3800 without 1:1 and system didn’t boot. Even with default XMP and 1.45 volts. Ram is rated for 1.35 volts.
 
Give it 1.5v and try it. I run 1.55v 24/7 with no issues. As long as you have good airflow, it's fine. If it's B-Die, of course. The other memory ICs don't really respond to voltage as well, which is why B-Die is so popular.
 
It’s not B die. It is Hynix. I was told that 1.5 V is dangerous territory so I didn’t try. Will see if I want to. It’s a PITA trying memory stuff with this board as it doesn’t have a reset bios switch.
 
Hynix doesn't really respond to vDIMM voltage very well. You can try it, but I wouldn't bother.

1.5v is fine. I've ran 1.55v daily for a while now. The only difficulty is keeping temps down on the DIMMs but good airflow and only 2 sticks makes life easy.
 
Just leave it alone KAC lol..

Your timings are terrible though, but the upgrade for $350 wouldn't be worth it.
 
Ok fine I will leave it. I am thinking about getting a 5950X though. :bleh:
Frankly I haven’t played crap on my 5900X for past 2 months since it has been mining non stop. I now only play on my 10700/3070 rig mostly as cost of playing is cheaper on it :lol:
 
Decided to oclock the ram on the vr machine, they were gskill 3200, able to get them to 3800 stable, with fclk 1900
ran prime95 for 10 hours, no issue. I'll mess around with it more when I have time.
