R7 1800X @ 4.0GHz
ASUS C6H UEFI 3502
F4-3200C14D-16GTZ @ 3333MHz The Stilt Fast Preset
P95 v29.4B5 (Custom 8K 4096K 13000MB) ~22hrs PASS
HCI v6.0 ~3.5hrs PASS
RealBench v2.56 Stress mode 16GB 2hrs PASS
Y-Cruncher ~1hr PASS
Gone to 6001 now 🙂 .

A bit about my experience with C6H 🙂 . I have had board since launch 🙂 . I have used 3x R7 1700, 2x R7 1800X and ~4 differing RAM kits with same board 🙂 .
6001 is as sound if not better than 3502 🙂 . I gained 4.0GHz 3333MHz C14 1T yesterday on HCI, Realbench, Y-Cruncher and P95 🙂 . Here is 8hrs P95 v29.4B5 (Custom 8K 4096K 13000MB).
IMO flash UEFI 6001.
Setup a base profile to OC on.
My base profile never has an OC, but all the common settings I would use on differing OC profile, save this in Tool page > ASUS Overclocking Profile.
Below are what I changed on UEFI 3502/6001 as my base profile for OC.
On Extreme Tweaker page I set:-
Ai Overclock Tuner [Manual]
BCLK Frequency [100.0000]
Performance Bias [None]
Core Performance Boost [Disabled]
SMT Mode [Enabled]
1.8V PLL Voltage [1.80000]
1.05V SB Voltage [1.05000]
On DRAM Timings Control page:-
Cmd2T [1T]
Gear Down Mode [Disabled]
Power Down Enable [Disabled]
On External Digi+ Power Control page:-
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
On Tweakers Paradise page:-
Sense MI Skew [Disabled]
I would also advise using Fan smoothing for fan headers. I use a value of 3.8S, this will help with fans not pulsing from sporadic CPU temperature bounces that occur on Ryzen.
Now to OC 🙂 .
You should be able to get your RAM upto 3200MHz IMO with ease. Load The Stilt 3200MHz Safe Preset. The preset is tighter timings than XMP/DOCP and has the crucial timings that give best gains on Ryzen set tight.
Now on Extreme Tweaker page set:-
Memory Frequency [DDR4-3200MHz]
CPU SOC Voltage [Manual mode]
- VDDSOC Voltage Override [1.05000]
DRAM Voltage [1.35000]
On External Digi+ Power Control page:-
DRAM VBoot Voltage [1.35000]
If you don't own HCI Memtest I would buy a copy. As then you can use a launcher to have required instances/MB. I would use 16 instances each using ~1625MB (26GB in total).
If you pass ~400% (which is ~2hrs) then I'd move to CPU OC. If you run into issues with HCI Memtest stage then increase SOC and/or VDIMM. You shouldn't need more than 1.1V SOC and 1.375V VDIMM IMO for RAM MHz/setup used. You may need to play with ProcODT also. Also post a screen shot of RTC, as can check for you if you need to play with BankGroupSwap settings, for me UEFI 3502/6001 sets it correctly on [Auto] for RAM used.
There are 2 ways you can OC CPU, use the easier method first.
On Extreme Tweaker page you'll find:-
Custom CPU Core Ratio [Auto]
> CPU Core Ratio [Auto]
Change CPU Core Ratio to 38.
3.8GHz has been possible on all R7 1700 I have owned, I used a air cooler, ThermalRight Archon IB-E X2. They need ~1.35V VCORE, +/- 0.025V depending on CPU sample.
Easiest way to get the voltage change is by setting on Extreme Tweaker page:-
CPU Core Voltage [Manual]
and then value as needed.
Once you have this tested I can help you setup offset mode voltage or PState 0 OC with VID change.
