Amd ryzen overclock 1 click from msi: frequencies up to 4.4 ghz

It seems that we are learning something more about the overclocking that the new AMD Ryzen processors can offer. This time, it is leaked that the new AMD R7 processors will need an X370 motherboard to get the most out of it, but we will have to test it for ourselves to see the veracity of these assumptions.

AMD Ryzen Overclock 1 click from MSI

It seems that MSI wants to make life easier for the brave who buy AMD Ryzen the first few weeks. If you choose an MSI board (Like the X370 Xpower), you can enjoy its Game Boost Knob overclocking system .

What does this technology allow you? Using a button located on the motherboard (lower right corner), you can adjust the speed you want to run your processor in up to 11 profiles. Where for example, the 8-core and 16-thread processors (R7 1700 / 1700X / 1800X) you can upload it from 4.1 GHz to 4.4 GHz . While the 6 and 4 cores up to 4.3 and 4.2 GHz respectively, but remember that these will come a little later and will be considerably cheaper than those of the enthusiastic platform.

The first problem that we can see with this function is: What voltage will it apply to the processor to reach these frequencies? Because of our experience on the Intel platform, they have never applied the best voltage / frequency value… and it always benefits us to do it ourselves (manually). And it is that, remember that each processor is a world and we will find lazy processors and others that we can qualify as a “black leg”. And we always recommend looking for the sweet spot for each processor.

We recommend reading the best processors on the market.

Also in the test we saw not long ago: the one with the world record for overclocking with Cinebench R15. The screen shows a too high voltage (1, 853V), and this may worry us about its scaling.

What is clear is that there is less and less to see the final and more reliable results on the main review websites. Will you opt for an AMD Ryzen or do you prefer to wait for the alleged price reduction of Intel processors ?
