Hi, this in my quiet new PC build. Lately i decided to try overclock CPU. I find some
manuals for it and i set frekvency to 3,8 GHz and Voltage to 1,35 V. It looked stable. Than i also i set my Ram frekvency to 3200 MHz. After that after that it all buged and i couldnt even get to my bios settings. Even tho my MOBO and RAM supports this fr. So i was forced to Reset the CMOS. I lowered the RAM frekvency to 2666 , keeped CPU setting and it loked stable. I saw improvement in game FPS. Temps are under 80°C. But now it have started unexpectably crashing.

I dont know where is problem. Others what i saw overclocks CPU even more. Is it because i didnt upgreat my BIOS to latest version, or i have weak PSU fo this build? Or do set something wrong in BIOS? I would appreciete any advice.

I recommend looking up an overclocking guide for your specific board. I don't own a Ryzen CPU personally, but those other settings do things, and may affect your maximum overclock. However, it's still very possible that your CPU simply has a hard limit of 3.7ghz, and nothing you can do will fix that.

Every CPU is different, and overclocking is not guaranteed. You may need more voltage, or less voltage. You may have hit your frequency ceiling at 3.7ghz (many do), or it might be something else, like your RAM. The only way to know is to tinker and test some more, and do stress testing.

OK, its true i did quiet short stress testing with CPU-Z. I will download some other programs ant test more with different CPU settings. Its sad that others can accomplish more with same components. I just wanted to know if theres something i did wrong, because i literaly change only CPU voltage, frekvency and ram frekvency. Other parametrs i dont realy understand so didnt touch them. Problem with RAM frekvency cap will hopefully solve BIOS update, whitch i am up to soon. Anyway thank you :)

I checked some guides and will need to change the other settings too as u mentioned. Also i lower CPU to 3,7 GHz and hopefully it will be stable. I have one more thing. Not sure what couse this but my BIOS settings always opens everytime i start the PC, even tho i dont press DEL or F2. Its really anoying when i am not changing anything. I cant find setting of it in BIOS or some solution on the internet. I know its diffrent in every MOBO but i would be grateful for any direction how to fix this. It didnt stop even after i reset my CMOS back then. Maybe that Bios upgreat will help.
