Another CPU upgrade?? and a bit of Overclocking on the Ryzen 7 3700X
Been a busy time around here the last few days. I have been tweaking and adjusting the 3700x I put in my desktop. As I updated in the blog before I managed to get my DDR4-3000 to run DDR-3200 I didn't have to adjust the timing at all...just set it to 3200 and boom on its way. Easy enough... Ok, So next I started to play with the new tool "ClockTuner for Ryzen 1.0r by 1usmus" I really hadn't thought much about overclocking this CPU but in the end I just couldn't help myself. So after a bit of playing with that letting it first run the "diagnostics" portion it came back and I had a "gold" cpu.... sweet lets see what that can do! Well again after some more playing I easily got it to run at an All-Core overclock of 4.425GHZ..... oh hell yeah! That is 800 MHZ above the stock clock. So far it has been perfectly stable and honestly it doesn't even run hot. I tried it as high as 4.475 and it seemed ok. I also tried it at 5.0 GHZ and that crashed
