I have an MSI B350m Mortar. After searching around I see there are three ways to OC: Ryzen Master Overclocking Utility, MSI game boost option in the BIOS and manually setting the values in the BIOS. I am new to overclocking and have no idea which would be the safest option to go for. I just want to get it at 3.7 GHz.
Which option should I go with?
Go with the bios, RyZen is easy to overclock, and 3.7ghz should be easy to hit.
enter the bios, goto the OC menu.
Change OC Mode to expert, CPU frequency to 3700, leave ram alone for now, worry about that later, if you start messing about with ram now, you wont know if problems are caused by ram stability or CPU stability,
Next goto Digital ALL power submenu, also in the OC menu, set CPU LLC to level 2, enable over voltage protection, and enable over current protection.
Now back to the main OC Menu, type into the CPU voltage box "Normal", set CPU NB or CPU SoC voltage to 1.100v leave ram voltage at Auto
Leave CPU memory changed detect at Enabled.
in the CPU features down the bottom, disable C6, AMD Cool & Quiet and SVM mode.
Save and exit then test it, a quick run of Cinebench will let you know if its initially stable, if you get a black screen then thats known as Insta-Crash, you need to go back to the bios and change the CPU Voltage, start low, try something like 1.275v first and work you way up, for a newbie I wouldnt recommend anything higher than 1.35v in total, but you shouldnt need anything like that.
Eventually you will want to test for a few hours of IBT or Prime95 etc, make sure you monitor your temps.
If it passes all tests, now you can start messing about with trying to get your ram upto speed.
