So, my problem would have to be regarding Ryzen 5 and a safe overclock. For a while since I got Ryzen 5, everything was fine. I was running at 3.9ghz at 1.33 VDDCR (1.23750 @offset 0.0875) and 0.25 VDDCR SOC. That was fine in everything for days. I ran benchmarks for 2 hours, gamed for like 5 days without hitches until there were hitches.
I was reading articles and things about VCore because I started getting freezing when rendering videos and in like 1 specific game.
So, naturally I bumped up the vddcr offset (1.2375 @offset 0.11875) because I read an article that told me that freezing is usually related to that of the cpu not getting enough juice. HWmonitor and CPU-Z are giving me Vcore readings that range between 1.38V and 1.43V. I also read that my SOC voltage was slightly low so I bumped it up to 1.1 @offset 0.0500.
What I'm sorta getting at here is I'm still freezing at 3.9 even though I feel like I was so close to being stable. What do I do? What should I try/change? What VCore readings should I trust? What's the difference between VDDCR Cpu Voltage and Vcore and how does VDDCR Cpu Voltage affect vcore.
Sorry that this post is sort of all over the place and for being a complete newbie. I'm chasing stability with fairly high performance and it's to my understanding that Ryzen should atleast be able to touch 3.9 with ease.
Specs:
G.Skill 3000mhz 16gb kit @2933mhz
Ryzen 5 1600
Hyper 212x (With Noctua Fan)
GTX 1070 Ti (not overclocked atm to remove any more unstable elements in my build.
Asus ROG Strix B350-F
EVGA 750W B2 Bronze PSU
