Overclocking RYZEN to 4GHz... I FAILED

2017-07-06
so we'll only one im3 tree with our connects and in this video i want to talk about overclocking your rising processor beyond the specified Bruce box I'm using the horizon 70 1700 X I recently build a system make sure to check out how is compared to my previous Skylink machine is a very interesting result and with my 17 100x there is Headroom for overclocking to 4 gigahertz so what is what we gaining whether they overclocked that additional 200 megahertz from what I have is now and what are some of these things that arise with such an overclock let's talk about all that rather than this Coolermaster is hosting an exciting over which tournament with a $40,000 prize pool that will go towards one High School Robotics being you can watch live on Twitch or visit the eSports arena downtown Santa Ana for free more info at Coolermaster invitational calm so I am over talked to 3.8 gigahertz on my 1700 exit 1.3 3 volts which is pretty good I'm going to try to bring the voltage down to bring those temperatures down as well I'm using the pure raw cooler for now it's been doing a really good job with 3.8 gigahertz but the one crappy thing would Rison is temperature monitoring so here real temp is not supported so we have to rely on the risin master utility which gives us just that one number right there there's no way to log it there's no way to know what our core temperatures are you know per 8 cores so that's unfortunate that we have to rely on this sort of compromise and try to see how our temperatures are affected with the overclock also it's very interesting to see how one of the threads is occupied as you can see over here this is with the rising master utility open and therefore it has to be shut down doing veg marketing process so doesn't affect results because it is actually consuming a little bit too much so this right now the idle temperature at 3.8 gigahertz we're having around 30s but jumps to 35 to 37 sometimes not exactly sure why there's nothing happy in the background this is using a pure are cooler so notice what happens with the idle temperature when you boost this to four gigahertz so this is what the temperature situation looks like now at four gigahertz we're hovering around 50s it's sometimes up to 55 it's going to lower to about 42 and I have increased the voltage to 1.4 not sure why it's registering is 1.35 right now but yeah this is what it looks like when we jump that additional 200 megahertz we gain 10 plus almost 20 degrees Celsius on the core the one thing I appreciate about the a2 is crossfader 6 motherboards is the fact that in the BIOS we have built-in overclocking preset so I can do this manually or I can simply go into overclocking presets and load if poor gigahertz or before the profile to my 1700 X in the past that has worked but it wasn't stable which I'm thinking is because of the CPU order so we are overclocked to 4 gigahertz and look what happens when I try to run the Cinebench r15 benchmark I think the computer will crash almost immediately so yeah boom right there so with this crash two things are happening the rise in master utility I can see the temperature spikes to like 70 plus degrees Celsius and the computer would read that is 90 plus because of that temperature 20 degree temperature offset and number two we get an error code eight with the DRAM LED on the motherboards flashing the RAM is overclocked to 24 hundred megahertz which is a cold place all the timings are correct as per specification along with the voltage and my motherboard has the latest BIOS updated which i think is 1201 I know there's a beta software that's floating around to the motherboards but I'm just sticking with the official one right now so what I've done now is load that 4 gigahertz profile once again so once again let's run the Cinebench r15 benchmark let's see if it crashes now with 2166 on the memory side and the CPU overclock to 4 gigahertz oh and there you go now we're getting the same error code 8 and the DRM flashing the CPU is fine with that green LED so that's good to know so maybe something's just wrong with my memory so that LED indicator on the motherboard means there's something wrong with memory and I swapped it out for g.skill trident z this is rated at 3200 megahertz but I kept it under clocked severely 2166 or 2133 just to make sure that we are playing in a safe megahertz own because memory and the Rison compatibility is still kind of iffy so I just ran the Cinebench r15 benchmark right now and the system does not crash that's a very good sign I've got the highest score I have ever gotten on my writing system 17:24 the cpu and without running it again it's not crashing which means that I could potentially have more Headroom for overclocking the the memory maybe to like 21 2426 66 something like that and then I can finally swap out the cooler and be on my way boom everything is stable alright so with memory at 2666 let's see if we crash alright the same air code yep so now I've lowered the memory frequency 2400 megahertz I know that 2666 crashes I know that 21 33 is stable so far we sing about char 15 now let's try 24 hundred megahertz CPU voltage is about 4 1.37 nope alright there we go another crash overclocking Verizon is not frustrating one bit so the system shut down once again was memory 21 33 it was just working fine like five minutes ago now it's not working now I get a shutdown and the rise of master utility gave me a 74 degrees Celsius readout on the CPU core so I'm thinking it could be used in the temperatures so it's time to swap out that cooler so for the CPU cooler I decided to go with a dark croc pro 3 from be quiet simply because I've been using all-in-one liquid coolers so like last three years and it's like to go to my back to the roots stick with airflow and see how that plays out this one has two fans very large heatsink so it can take a lot of heat away from the CPU which is what I want when we overclock to four gigahertz I have the aim for brackets included so let's swap so just looking on with the thermal paste distribution here it seems like these corners in the top developer seat any contact and I'm thinking there was some mounting error and the same can be seen here looks like I did not mount the cooler properly and a little bit of the CPU was maybe exposed on this side so we're definitely going to make sure that the new mounting method has the CPU completely covered on this block on the new cooler and mounting on one's so much easier and now we have to put this in and secure the screws from the backside of the motherboard which is good because you don't have to deal with it's very difficult to get to this area but also you cannot do this with the case lying down the case has to be standing so you can have access to the backside of motherboards it's a good thing that the CPU cut out in this case is large enough for me not being able to you know do this inside the case not needing to take the amount of work out all right so that's mounted but now I cannot access my RAM slots alright so now let's what to do is insert the GPU hope I haven't made any Mountie airs with a cooler and hopefully everything is working just fine but damn doesn't this look real good Wow I kind of missed the whole air cooling direction it's a little bit chunky but I'm excited to put this into my next case and just see how that would look populate all the fan slots for better air flow and yeah I kind of don't miss the the tubing on great leaders this looks real nice so now with new cooler 3.9 gigahertz our temperatures are very similar in the proximity around 30 degrees Celsius at idle versus the previous cooler but check out what happens at load and now we stressed out the CPU to 100% for about 10 minutes and in comparison to the previous cooler we've dropped about 6 to 7 degrees at load with all the side panels closed which is a really good reduction temperatures and hopefully will allow us to achieve that 4 gigahertz mark comfortably all right so let's put in the 40 enter and let's hope that works whoo so I think we have successfully achieved the 4 gigahertz mark without any crashes after multiple tests so it's been several hours of me trying to troubleshoot why exactly we crash at 4 gigahertz the RAM is not an issue I can easily go at 2400 megahertz at 3.9 gigahertz on the CPU but as soon as I push that 3.9 to 4 gigahertz regardless of the voltage you know I put it in offset mode I give it more and give it less trying to figure out what exactly is crash system but it seems like I haven't really won the lottery you would before gigahertz park because I cannot get it stable with Cinebench r15 I can to render a video but as soon as I launch Cinebench we just crash and we're not reaching 70 degree Celsius either we're staying below that around 68 we're just trying to climb in a kind of state there when it's the rendering videos it's like around 65 but as soon as the launch Cinebench r15 we crash I have experiencing the same behavior even at 3.9 gigahertz on the CPU if I try to push the memory beyond 21 33 we crash and so I'd rather stick to 3.8 gigahertz on the CPU and that 20 400 megahertz on the memory just so that we can have a bit of speed through the memory side and also in the new and adequate overclock on the CPU without trying to balance one or the other so really you take away here for me would be that overclocking Rison can be a fun thing to do just to try to experiment on how much extra performance you can squeeze out but it's a little bit finicky right now and not everything is promised and I think a lot of the incompatibility and crashes come through something dealing with memory because I am getting my CPU and that's whole tidge everything is under control in terms of temperatures so I have to experiment with different memory kits and it's really because Eber has identical specifications to mine and he simply loaded the four gigahertz profile on the motherboard and everything worked just fine without any crashes so when the accepts would be to replace the power supply make sure that I don't have any issues with power delivery and from looking at my voltages on the three and five and twelve volt rail everything seems normal I'm going to also replace the RAM with different kits and also maybe substitute new storage I'll reinstall my operating system just go full refresh to make sure that there isn't something in there that's tinkering with that 4 gigahertz overclock because I want it although it doesn't give you that much performance and from what I've seen that three point a gigahertz with 2400 megahertz on the memory everything seems to flow just fine be ready for X 299 but as Rox flagship gaining I nine-month Ward's the world's first to feature a quantity at 10 gigabit per second land port for extreme bandwidth a 13 phase power design for smooth power delivery and reliable overclocking and of course USB 3.1 type C that can also charge your devices of up to 36 watts more info in description below so guys I appreciate you coming along this journey with me I apologize for somewhat of a fail overclock at support gigahertz even though I reach it I cannot get it to be stable with all my benchmarking suite and there fortunately compare them to stock 3.9 3.9 yards and yeah I'll have to figure that some more but let me know if you have had any success with overclocking your rising CPU and what was your experience like especially if you overclock in an intimacy n-- in the past how does those two experiences compare so let's end our conversation I'm Dimitri with our connects thank so much for watching make sure to subscribe for more rising content coming up very soon and we'll see you next week
