I think this might be the thread I'm needing!! ![Big Grin :D :D](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/biggrin-v1.gif)
So I've been messing about with the Ryzen's I have here.. I've yet to try my two 1700X's and a 2700 but I've been trying my 2700X and my 3900X with some what I'd class as some interesting results, mainly on my 3900X....
So short story version...
Kept hitting 75 to 80C or sometimes more when using without any all core boost and just leaving on auto.. Managed to do a few simple CPU tests with running WCG as my testing bench as it warms up the CPU nicely and contributes a little something so... win win![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
So I've had the CPU for a while, left most at stock as I've just enjoyed it as it just boots, works and I can shut it down and it will boot up from cold, outstanding kit![Big Grin :D :D](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/biggrin-v1.gif)
So I've gone from auto volts to 1.0vcore set in the bios. I've been able to get a 4.20GHz boost, but when I've tried all cores with 4.20GHz, I've had to push 1.15vcore through the CPU, whilst the temps haven't been bad either I've till opted for the 1.0vcore option instead... Has anyone had this issue before at all?? (I mean all core boost working on auto but not when it's set at the same volts??)
Screen shot as I think this helps better![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
I should have grabbed it whilst it had done over 12 hours (damn OCD of mine...) but never mind... I hope you can see that ok..
So another question is, what vcore reading would you trust?? What I've set in the bios? What CPU-Z reads? What HWInfo reads? Or what CoreTemp reads?? Answers on a postcard please too....![Big Grin :D :D](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/biggrin-v1.gif)
The other twist was that the 3900X at auto settings was pulling about 280w from the wall full systems (no GPU load tho...) When it's set to 1.00vcore, it's around the 150w marker.... I've tested it with CB R20, there's a bit of a points difference from 1.00vcore/4.20GHz reading to the 1.10vcore/4.00GHz+ reading... Around 6000 points for the 1.00v setting and 7050 points for the 1.10vcore/4.00GHz setting.... I've recently updated the bios on my Asus Crosshair 8 Hero to 1201 (it was on 0605 I believe??) so a little out of date... Originally did the testing on the original bios the board shipped with. Was able to get the 3900X posting and in to Windows at 0.90vcore... Have I hit the jackpot or something??
Would love some others opinions on this one![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
On the 2700X it seems I can't set it lower than about 1.275vcore else it won't post... Are those CPUs normally about this sort of voltage or do they/can they go down lower? I see the motherboards LCD read out, gives it an error code of 8 I believe?? (Asus Crosshair 7 Hero board...) Just trying to do the same thing as my 3900X.. they are both on air cooling which is not going to allow them to reach their max but I'm looking for a little more efficiency as well as they are crunching machines (the 3900X is my gaming rig as well...)
Any sort of advice I'm all ears![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
