Before I smash my head on this desk. B350F Strix CPU voltage.

OK so I helped my friend overclock his Ryzen. It worked, but for some reason the voltage offset did not. He is being limited to 1.3v and I can not find out how to change or increase it with any decent clear information.

Can some one please, please show me how to change the voltage to 1.35 and 1.375 please. It is crashing in Cinebench at 1.275 and 1.3v. No matter what I seem to do I can not get the facking thing to use 1.35v. I have done everything else, LLC is set, RAM is running beautifully but I can not increase the core voltage.

Seriously whoever designed this offset thing should be facking shot. It's so stupid.

Never mind. FINALLY worked out the correct offset to give 1.35v.

Dude I proper let that wind me up lol. I look on Youtube for a video and it's some guy from Asus waffling on for 40 minutes. I'm trying to listen to what he's saying but my mate is talking over him.. Yeah I got a little hot under the collar.

Thing is, even after about two hours of trying to find out how the offset works nobody explains it clearly or concisely enough. Eventually I stumble across this video where a guy added a certain amount, then it showed 1.35v in Windows. Ended up copying his settings and it worked. It was only then that the penny fully dropped on what it was doing and how it works.

I could have probably done it in about five minutes if I had my hands on the bloody thing, but my mate was doing about everything I was telling him not to do lol. I'm very short on patience as it is... It's like once he had this EVGA board and it kept BSODing. I spent weeks trying to sort it for him. Got the board here and I had it all sorted in about 30 seconds lmao.

haha whatever happened to the days of punching in a sodding voltage and it accepting it and then running that voltage

Not with a B350 Strix you don't !. Well, unless they have changed the bios.

ah yeah offset only for that one
This guy shows that board overclocking.

Yup after hours and hours of searching it was his video I watched. Asus's video/s are 45 minutes long, and unless you have over an hour to spend to watch the whole video it's not an option. It was probably the most boring video I've ever seen. Far too much detail. Just show me how to up the volts, bus and multi lol.

But yeah, we got 3.9ghz on those settings. Didn't push for 4ghz yet as my mate doesn't have his cooler RMA (his Swiftech leaked, ages ago, but he's got a "married to it" job 6 days 12 hours a day).
