About a month ago I upgraded my computer with a nice new Ryzen 3800X out of a need for more CPU cores and an updated full platform with modern feature support. I have not kept up with the intricacies of overclocking Ryzen systems, but I've taken note of the importance of tuning AMD's Infinity Fabric and how it seems to have the greatest effect in how Ryzen performs. Now that I have had the system for a while and everything behaves as I want and need it to, I'd like to start gathering up the information I need in order to squeeze as much as I can out of this CPU when the time comes. I assume many of you already know of many well written articles that explain how best to do this sort of thing so before I start diving into the subject myself, I thought a post popping this new Forums cherry in hardware would be the best start. The last time I dabbled in overclocking was with my skylake system and it was as easy as setting the multiplier to what I wanted and adjusting the voltage until it was stable. No fussing about with memory stuff.

eeehhhhh... It's Jeffefah. When is that nerd going to register here and start posting? Have we even reached out to him?

He's in our Slack (which you can join if you want), hasn't registered here yet but I'm sure he will.

I've not seen any information about slack.

1) when I saw morphine's link in post 2, i was somewhat expecting Geoff, not Jeff. (Sigh. Time flies.) Does everyone who didn't previously own GerbilSite go on to Asus first?
2) Asus sells a $290 all in one closed loop liquid cooler? good grief - that's over $100 more than the Ryzen CPU I would be cooling
3) Jeff is a fine author. I hope Asus pays/paid appropriately.
4) sorry for the necro, but it only caused a one post jump

Overclocking Ryzen is pretty easy:
Spend $$$ for an Asus X570 motherboard.
Install your shiny new Ryzen CPU and RAM.
Enable "DOCP" (not documented in the manual).
Enjoy!
