Thanks to both of you.
I probably should have added or clarified the following:
- I've built / assembled several machines before without major issues, so that doesn't bother or scare me. But overclocking is new.
- I do content creation and the reason I got a 1700 is its value right now, and because I want to look into two types of work. If I continue doing only the one then a modest overclock is fine (i.e. the 3.5-3.7 you speak of, roughly), and if I get paid doing the other type of work it'll warrant an upgrade to Threadripper even if I take a hit on this system.
- Currently running 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance RGB 3466 at 3200.
- Windows 10 x64
In other words; modest overclock using stock cooler is fine.
However;
Because I don't want to stress the parts 24/7/52 (or, 24/365) I was wondering if any of the softwares are a good way to set up profiles and just enable OC when needed. I know AMD has its software which I installed already, and then ASUS has its own AI Suite 3 which I haven't installed yet. I'm comfortable using the UEFI to set it up, but I'd rather be able to enable/disable easily and quickly.
Preferences between the ASUS suite or AMD Ryzen Master?
