Hello everyone, i am back again with more noob questions XD. So what i want to ask is that how to oc my ryzen 7 1700, i have negligible amount of oc experience and want to do this to get that extra performance out of my cpu. My build consist of the following components:
Ryzen 7 1700
Asus x370pro mobo
Corsair H100i cooler
Corsair 3000mhz 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X
Corsair RM 750X PSU
Samsung 850 evo+WD Black (if it helps?)
NZXT S340elite case

Can someone share there experience with me because i am trying to learn to oc and if possible can give me stable oc settings for my setup.One more question please, will overclocking my cpu degrade it in any way even if i oc to very stable and safe settings?

Thank you
Gagan

Keep the voltage below 1.4v and the temps below 75c. I am sure with your cooler that will not be hard to do. Just remember to raise the voltages from stock setting in small increments. Don't worry if it crashes it is just protecting itself. That just means you may have to up the voltage slightly. You will probably also need to use VDDCR Load Line Calibration to keep the cpu voltage from dropping while overclock when the cpu is at load.

Really there are loads of tutorials online

And no if you go slowly you will not damage your cpu.

As far as the memory goes you can also change the clockspeed of that in the bios under memory frequency. Though from what I understand you may have to wait for a bios update for that.

Also if you do a...

Should i just follow the tutorial step by step? And which application to use to ensure the stability of the oc. I have read various articles with a app called prime95 or something.

To tell you the truth i am happy enough even with the 3.8 ghz oc because i want to play it safe and its a editing build so it will be running 24/7 mostof the time. Also please tell me how to ensure the stability of oc and will it damage my compenents in any way at around 3.8 ghz?

Another thing i want to mention is that i have 1x16 gb 3000mhz corsair ram but it won't go above 2133mhz even after updating the bios.

Also if you do a bios update reset the bios to default before hand.

Sorry for asking too much but what's this VDDCR Load Line Calibration stuff? Please provide a easy to understand link if possible.

Thank you sir, you are awesome :D. At last i have a few questions for you if you don't mind

1. Should i stick with my 3000mhz ram stick or get a lower frequency ram stick because at this moment i have only one stick but i am going to get more for video editing.
2. My ram stick is mentioned on the asus QVL list so is there any chance of a bios update fixing this particular issue?
3. Should i start learning oc from youtube or from some particular forum or site which will be easy for me to understand.



At last i just want to thank you for your help and your precious time.
Have a good day/night.

You only have one stick of ram now. That system is really designed to run in a dual channel mode. Two sticks of the same size ram hopefully from the same vendor and identical in every way. Ram is best purchased in kit form. On your overclock .....set your target speed in the bios and attempt to boot into windows under stock voltage. If it fails to boot, slowly increase your voltage and keep repeating the process until it boots into windows. Once it boots then you can run the various stress tests to see if your over clock is stable. You can cheat the increment voltage steps by first trying a voltage of 1.35 with your CPU target having been set. I think it will take minimum that voltage or slightly more to really get the correct voltage which will make your overclock stable. These are the easy steps before you get into any memory overclocking. Have fun with it.....no fears.

Obviously he could only afford one stick to begin with. I am sure he will ask if he has any more questions. Step on any toes lately?

Actually managed to push mine up to 4125MHz, using the UEFI of my Asus mobo. Only troubles I have are the ones almost all AMD/nVidia users are experiencing since Win10 FCU (unexpected BSODss)
Current rig:
Asus ROG Strix X370-F Gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 1700
BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro3
BeQuiet! Silent Wings3 fans (4 of them)
16Gb of Corsair DDR4 in 2666MHz
Two Asus GTX1070 Strix
Two 525Gb MX300 SSDs
One 275Gb MX300 SSD
Cooler Master Stacker RC831 case
Proc runs at 50*C max
