First!

owikh84 | Ryzen 5 1400 | 4.0 GHz | ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme | Custom WC

Welcome to the club bro (though I know I am very late in the game haha)
WOW awesome custom WC case spotted! Thermaltake WP100!

Your OC result added!

You're most welcome!

Faster get yourself a TR and OC it to 4.2GHz+, pokde

First post updated with AM4 OC guides, DDR4 RAM compatibility, links to some CPU/MB/RAM reviews etc.

Ya pretty much average OC results for these chips I guess.

Good idea but mind you that there's a difference between CPU-Z idle, load and BIOS set.
BTW where's your SS bro?

Added, welcome to the club bro

Added
But why your CPU-Z validation banner indicates ROG STRIX X370-F GAMING instead of Crosshair VI Hero mobo?



It's nice to see Vengeance RGB DDR4-3466 C16 is working on AM4

Fantastic choice, you've made a good move bro.

Can't wait to see your OC results!

Good job!
Curious how's the mem bandwidth performance in AIDA64 Memory/Cache benchmark.

DDR4-3466 not possible bro?

Added you in top post!

Nice bro.
Looks like there's a newer BIOS for your board, might be able to get your RAM operating at 3000MHz


Added you the the list!

I think BIOSTAR boards still need a lot of refinements in terms of BIOS etc.
Also, lower-end boards always come with lower grade components especially the VRMs.
Good VRMs are Inifineon's IR3555 etc

Back to OCing the ROG Crosshair VI Extreme, now under water



DDR4-3600 16-16-16-36-1T @ 1.35V, SOC 1.2v is bootable, but not stable and lacks efficiency:


DDR4-3466 16-16-16-36-1T @ 1.35V, SOC 1.2v is Pi stable and gave me good bandwidths, but higher latency:


Heard IMC of Ryzen 5 is not as good as Ryzen 7...
Maybe I need to buy a Ryzen 7 1700 to unleash the full potential of the Extreme board

More results coming soon...

Ya, the scores are quite low for a DDR4-3600.
Maybe further tweaking is needed or it's normal for on a Ryzen platform. I've seen other people also getting these figures at such memory frequency.

Anyway, bought myself an Ryzen 7 1700 just in case it has a stronger IMC compared to Ryzen 5. Can't wait to get it!

Core VID is not the actual core voltage that your CPU is operating at.

VID at 1.55v sounds normal, your actual vcore should be lower than that.

Fiuhh... Took quite some time to find the perfect voltages for my G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 C16 2x8GB.

F4-3200C16D-16GTZR @ vDIMM 1.40v, SOC 1.15v


AIDA64 performance:


Hynix-AFR is the IC inside, according to Thaiphoon Burner (RAM is not properly recognized and gave CRC error lol):

Ryzen Master is a useful tool to test your desired overclocked CPU frequency and find the best voltages for it, without repeatedly rebooting the PC.
Once you've found the suitable voltages for your OC and confirmed its stability, go into the UEFI and insert the settings permanently.

btw, I am using ASUS's TurboV Core v1.01.15 instead of Ryzen Master.

Can use manual vCore as well but for some reason with the current launch BIOS, the C6E has issue overclocking the Ryzen 7 1700 above 3.7GHz or vCore higher than 1.3V. CPU multiplier will stuck at 15.5x in the OS, inside UEFI it shows the correct OC though. My current workaround is to use offset vCore, then only multi above x37 will work in Windows.

It's a known issue for many other Ryzen mobos from other vendors as well, some including the C6H already received a fix BIOS to overcome this bug. ASUS BIOS engineers are so slow this time that it has been two months the C6E still hasn't get any BIOS update yet since launch.

Yes, first step of OC is always combo of CPU multiplier + voltage
If you want to discover further can go through the OC guides listed in the top post of this thread.
