Hi, I'm new to overclocking but i read guides on how to overclock Ryzen. I'm wondering when I try to OC my cpu to 3.8ghz(from 3.6ghz) and ram speed up to 2667 the disk usage will throttle to 100% all the time. I tried everything about disabling superfetch, windows search, altering message interrupt registries and etc. but it doesn't resolve it. It really sucks because I want to fully utilize my Ryzen procie. (I'm using CineBench R15, MemTest, HD Tune, Aida64 Extreme to test stability when i'm overclocking. So far, I haven't encountered any crashes or shutdowns during stress test.)

Now, i'm using stock clocks and so far it does get to 100% disk usage.

My PC specs are:

Ryzen 5 1600x
MSI B350M Mortar (Bios 1.40)
DDR4 16gb (G.Skill F4-3200C16-16GTZB)
Palit 650ti OC Edition
Corsair CX650M
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Please help. :(

No, the fix has not been released yet, you'll know when it is, I think board manufacturers are only just getting it from AMD, they then need to build their bioses around it, think of it as a kernel, and then test and release it, we won't see it for a couple of weeks yet.

I see yours has hynix chips too, exactly the same chips as mine, right down to the chip part number, as I said before, some bioses I've managed 3200mhz on and others won't allow anything more than 2933mhz, and that's what the next big fix from AMD is hopefully going to address.

And yes, you need to also correct your cpu speed Everytime you get the 5 post loop issue although you wouldn't realise it looking in the bios, you don't find out it reset too until you get...

Not in front of a uefi so you will need to be my eyes here.
Reboot the computer and go into the bios, look and see if ypu find a cell menu or something similiar to it.
Disable cool and quite as you want to do manual under clocking and over clocking.
Look for an option that says cpu nb ratio, it should say 3600mhz which is your default speed.
Underclock that speed to 3.0ghz 3000mhz, for max turbo clock set it to 3.8ghz for the moment.
Save the settings and boot into windows, run a quick game and check the task manager.
If everything goes fine it will clock up to whatever speed it needs and clock back down when its not needed.
Boot back into the bios set the max turbo clock to 4.0ghz, only thing that concerns me is your cooling method.
If you are using amds current stock cooler it won't keep that speed for very long as amd chips get real hot.
Make sure you set the fsb/dram ratio view this video most of it is right on some part it is not.

Is your ram under the compatibility list for memory? Mine is not included. I contacted the MSI and they tell me to wait for further bios updates. :(

No mine isn't on the list, I think we have the same ram. Mine is the trident z rgb 3200mhz and although it's not on the list, there is plenty of similar kits that are.

On some bios releases it would run at 3200mhz as per the video, on others it would only run a 2933mhz, but never lower.

I tried 3200 but my pc fails to start and it will set it on 2133 after 5 tries. i tried your settings but it still doesn't work.
I have the F4-3200C16D-16GTZB dram module.

No sir, its dual memory kit. As of now, I hit 2933 without any restarts and crashes. I'm running 3.90 but aida and cpuz displays 37 multiplier or 3.70

OK, I know whats wrong, these are very strange boards, when you get that 5 post loop problem and it resets you RAM back to 2133mhz, it also silently resets your cpu speed too, although the bios is still showing 3.9ghz, its not really, the way around it, is set cpu speed to 3800mhz, reboot back to the bios and set it back to 3900mhz.

I was going to suggest to try profile 1 which is 3000mhz (2933mhz), these problems should be sorted end of this month, or beginning of next with the next bios update which will include the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update from AMD.

Could you download thaiphoon burner from here, open it up and follow the 2 instructions, let me know what chips your ram has ? http://www.softnology.biz/files.html

I googled your part number, I have the RGB version, as far as I know, its exactly the same kit, yours is just without the LEDs.

These are my dram modules. I thought the update for AGESA 1.0.0.6 was included in bios 1.40?

I see so that's why when i fail to oc and get the 5 post loop. If i didn't corrected my cpu clock the cpuz or aida wont recognize it.
