Ryzen 7 1700X overclock

[tribeca600]

I will be using the 1700X with a Gammaxx 400 cooler, do you think I will be able to safely overclock the 1700X to 3.8Ghz? Anyone here can share their overclocking experiences?

Every chip is different. Not every single one hits the lottery. Depends on board you have, and memory. So many factors as well. Power supply even. We simply cannot tell you...but for the most part, you should be able to get another 400 Mhz no problem...as for voltage, again...we don't know.

3.8 is about the average overclock across the range. So yeah a 1700x chip being rated at a higher speed than a 1700, increases it's likelihood of being OC'able up to 3.8. But like everything there is no promise.

cool, thanks. what is the risk of trying, will it just not work? or would it damage the cpu in the procesz of trying if it can't support the frequency?

i'm new to overclocking.

Being safely able to OC to 3.8 Ghz will depend on if your system is stable at that speed & the voltages & temps are not too high.

For example, I've read that the preferred CPU voltage be at 1.35v, but doesn't recommend it being set for past 1.4v

Check my sig. It was easy to get 3.8 with a low vcore and really nice temps. I could get mine to 4 ghz but temps and vcore had to be raised to 1.38 or so.

In my 3.8GHz test, I used 1.2675 vcore, but that was with SMT disabled. Slightly more voltage is required with SMT enabled, so my 1600 would probably have needed almost exactly the same vcore as your 1700x at 3.8. I never tried 4.0 but did run a short-term benchmark at 3.975 @ 1.35 vcore -- but that was probably not torture-test stable.
