Not really overclocking for now, I'm just using the stock cooler atm.

Would the Wraith Stealth handle a small OC though?

Maybe, i get lower temps with a manual OC since the boost cranks the volts up

I find that too, Cinebench will report will all so report better performance too.

So i end up setting up 4200 @ 1.275 and it will runs around 10c cooler.

I am using Ryzen Master (2.2.0.1543) to run a per CCX oc of 4.4 and 4.2 ghz with a max voltage setting of 1.3375v. It works perfect. It even downclocks when not under full load and drops voltage like it would at stock. It gets me 7725 point in CB R20 multi. Quite nice, IMHO.

Looks like some form of clock stretching? I get higher scores than your 4.3 result just running without PBO @ 4.075-4.15GHz all core normal boost...are you using Ryzen Master for OC? RM does all sorts of weird things to clocks and scores.

I have the 3800x and same thing I get better scores just letting it be.

 

[Mussels]

without all the background tasks running, cinebench score is better

For sure, as variable as Ryzen is, the only sure thing is that any background process will affect scores. Whenever I bench Membench, CB, CPU-Z or AIDA I always close Dropbox and MWB and any launchers I have. I keep HWInfo as impact is minor and I do need the data.

250pts+ is a huuuuge jump, though. Usually it's less than 50-100 for me. Good to see you up to very respectable scores. The best I could do on my Aorus board was 5051.

So for max voltage, what am I looking at for safe limits for idle and full load? I've got a feeling that I can do 4.6ghz all core on say, 1.34v full load but that requires me setting 1.39v since LLC doesn't change anything when I set it in the bios. It's always a 0.5v drop between load and idle.

 

[Mussels]

I have a lot of crap running in the background, steam, discord, browsers, fancy RGB animations... doesnt take much for an un noticed steam update to tank a score when you're just stress testing and not actively benching

 

[GoldenX]

OMG, just noticed this - in retrospect, this is comedy gold!

Well, it's better than a PCIe 4x GT1030, in bandwidth.
It's something.

Sounds like I should give that a try because I have a shit ton running just doing this run with CPU clock on stock only XMP set:

If you take a look at the user's post history on TPU, you'll start to see why it's better just to let him continue talking to himself. This club thread isn't even remotely of any relevance to him; the reply is literally just to get a rise out of you.

 

[GoldenX]

Noted, thanks.
Where's muh RDNA2 APU, AMD.

It still hard to say all we know is the PS5 and Xbox is built on RDNA2 that should be December 2020, but for PC it's another story maybe October but I was really hoping to see Juli/August release this year but I guess it's like everyone else if we cannot get a big promotion at a event people can wait

 

[GoldenX]

Well, to be realistic, an RDNA2 APU would only add features, not performance, unless AMD improved the compression.
Current APUs are limited by 2 things, one is obviously RAM clock speed, but the other one is Infinity Fabric, they run at an 8x PCIe 3.0 equivalent, so you can hit that limit. Too bad the Zen+ ones can't get past 3600MHz RAM.

Got a second ryzen system now for my son.

Got a 2500x, 8gb of ram and a gtx 970 .

Should be plenty of enough power for him.

Very impressed by performance of AMD stock cooler for stock speeds it's very quiet.

anything that isn't the stealth is pretty good, and the stealth can work perfectly fine as long as you dont have PBO on or anything else to crank the wattage up

 

[entropy13]

Got temps down from 92C to 80C by manually setting a 4.2GHz overclock (which is the maximum Boost clock anyway) @ 1.28V. PBO and CPB are disabled. And I'm using the stock cooler lol

Temps were from the in-game benchmark in Grid: Autosport.

EDIT: Looks like I can have it run 5C cooler (from 99C to 94C) on Cinebench at a lower voltage, 1.265V. Cinebench crashes at 1.25V.

i actually want to build a system with my ryzen 1400 just so i can use the wraith prism i have

It’s not an unreasonable excuse. What about the fan noise?

its not very loud, and a ryzen 1400 is so low heat output it wont have to spin up

Question more experienced zen users.

Is there a way to lower boost clock multiplier or target speeds like with Intel CPUs or phenom x 6 CPUs?

I'd be a lot happier with my single core just boosting to 4ghz .

 

[tabascosauz]

OEM 3900?

Lower PPT or reduce Vcore to reduce your clockspeeds as you see fit. Or just set fixed clock at a low static Vcore voltage (mine needs 1.195V for 4GHz) at all core 4.0GHz.

You can use Ryzen Master to make a profile, where you can set the max boost frequency and max voltage levels. The processor keeps downclocking and lowering voltage when not under load as normal...

I only have Ryzen master to play with I should stipulate so don't appear to have voltage controls for anything other than fixed clocks.
Have tried 3.6ghz at 1.0375 ISH volts but would prefer boosting on 4 cores to 4ghz levels .

Is this the fixed clock method ?

I'm hoping to just adjust the turbo parameters only. I.e less aggressive single/dual/quad core boosting.

Processor gets hotter running lightly threaded or gaming work loads then it does rendering because of the 1.35-1.45 volts it pushes through during those loads.

This is all to avoid overheating when gaming by the way.
