AMD Ryzen R7 1700X 8-Core 16-Thread CPU Review

Overclocking


Overclocking

Overclocking on the Ryzen platform is so easy, it’s like a throwback to overclocking of years gone by. Just like with the other two Ryzen chips that we have reviewed, all I had to do was type in the speed (4000MHz) into the core clock, bump up the voltage to 1.475v, and I increased the CPUNB Voltage to 1.15 for added stability. The system posted perfectly every time, but remember, you need a high-end cooler to do this or the CPU will throttle at 80C and you’ll lose performance is demanding scenarios or the system will simply power off to protect the CPU. If it does, you need more volts and more cooling to maintain your overclock.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
