Hi,
Im currently running Ryzen 1700 stock setting on GA-AB350-Gaming mobo and im thinking of some overclock. I was just browsing my BIOS for my settings possibilies. In the BIOS there is not much options in term of voltage control, just core and SOC voltages manipulation using the offset method, no LLC.
I also tried to browse the mobo utilies and the EasyTune app offers me direct Vcore settings even the Vcore and SOC LLC, oddly the SOC voltage setting is grayed out.
So Im wonderig if using the EasyTune app for OC is good option sice it offers more control over the BIOS, and if the settings not included in the BIOS, only in the EasyTune will work properly.

It seems odd that LLC is absent from the BIOS. Makes me think you're missing it somewhere. I will say that, unless you're REALLY pushing your OC, you probably don't need to worry much about LLC.

Easy tune works fine. AMD also offers their own Overclocking software (Ryzen Master Utility) I prefer to OC in the BIOS simply because it doesn't require software running in the background. Sometimes I'll use software to dial in an OC during testing since it allows you to increase the CPU freq without having to restart each time, then when I've settled on something I like, I enter that into the BIOS and uninstall the software. To each their own.
