Is this a Ryzen Silicon Lottery or just average for an overclock?


Recommended Posts

I got my Ryzen 7 1700X system all up and running. Brief Specs:

 

Asrock Fatal1ty B350

16GB FuryX Memory DDR4 2666

Corsair 650W PSU

1700X with Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 With 2 Fans on it

 

Currently running 4.0Ghz @ 1.356V Set in board. On CPU-Z on full load it shows 1.312V,  While running AIDA64. Temps never go above 50C in a room that is climate controlled at 72 degrees. 

 

I keep reading forums that say 4.0 is basically usually run at 1.4+ Volts. Not sure. It posts to bios at 4.1 at the 1.356V but wont boot windows. I didn't push it any higher on voltage or anything just yet. I want it to be 24/7 use, and dont want to pump 1.4+V through it. I am new to Ryzen, and only know as much as I can read on them. I also read there are conflicting voltage limits to running 24/7 use. Some sites suggest 1.35V  and others 1.375V.

 

Any input would be awesome as always! Maybe its just an above average chip? Not any crazy lottery win? I have no idea. Thanks guys/gals!

 

I am currently running a second 8 hour stability test as I type this since I didn't get my screenshot taken as I intended. Will update when complete.

 

Also, Is there a better stress test to take? I alternate between AIDA64 and Prime95

I would stress test it a bit. All of mine are between 4.0 and 4,09 using 1.325 to 1.46v to be stable. I can run 4.0 at 1.25 but if you put a good load on it you get a black screen failure.
