My Ryzen 7 3700X OC.

[trickson]

Well on Auto and the CPU voltage goes up to 1.4 and then back to 1.3 I think it is fine I am surely not going to sweat the voltage if the Overclock is stable and cool! That is the real thing here the OC!
It is a great OC the CPU can take the voltage it needs without my intervention and messing with it.
I did set it to 1.3 and well I just did not like it there everything was fine I just felt like I was fing up. SO I just set it back to auto NO off set so it does take 1.4 but not for long and I play games and just mess around nothing like benchmarking all day...

The only real thing I worry about it the temps and they are fine as the wine I just had!

Okay I am at 1.35 and I am testing. see if that make me feel better LOL I just hate messing with this stuff!

You can try fixed voltage at 1.3v. Run 4.2ghz all core and see if it runs. Also run LLC level 3 at 1.32v at 4.4 and try that.

Okay this BIOS has more settings than I have ever seen or even dreamed of . So far 1.35 set manual in bios and 4.4Ghz test under way not a long one till tomorrow!

You don't want your SVI2 (Core Voltage) higher than 1.3v under full load. It's the current that kills.

Are we talking about vcore or core vid or both? I set both to the same value and let er rip. I see his vcore high but his core vid low. So what degrades, CCX voltage or CPU over voltage override labeled as VDDCR in my bios?

Core VID should be at most 1.1v. VCORE shouldn't be above 1.3v under load. Vcore + load = current which is what kills.

Ohh..

So you would consider this dangerous then?

Would probably help temps to drop it back to 1.1

Trust me it doesn't always run like that. That is one of the most intense programs that I know of for generating heat. Like P95.. sorta..

I still wouldn't trust it being that high. I don't know the exact health related problems coming from high VID but 1.1v works like a charm for me.

7000th post. woo.

But! Yours is a 65W CPU and mine is 95W, would that make a difference?

Edit:

Congatulations wooo!!

Yours is higher because it's a "better bin" or just factory overclocked more. Give it a try and honestly, I'd give up 100mhz if it means my chip lasts longer,

4400 for me is 1.268, and lower than that and I might as well run @ stock clocks, which still uses more than what I am giving all around.. 4500 is technically the top of the scale on mine, so its not really overclocked..

Edit:

This Ryzen stuff is so confusing lol

Have you tried 4.5 @1.3v?

 

[biffzinker]

Once you understand what’s going on it’s not so bad. Getting it dialed in is perhaps the confusing part. Same for overclocking the RAM, one day it works the next day, nope.

 

[freeagent]

Yes it crashes as soon as AVX kicks in. No matter the LLC..

 

[Toothless]

Well, then you have an option. Keep all core at 4.4 or go for single 4.5 if you want to keep it for a long time (every chip has been different in voltages and lifespan so maybe this all doesn't apply to you)

 

[trickson]

Holy Shit now wait it's NOT the Vcore now that I need worry about it's some SV12 I have never heard of?
Okay I am confused to the point.
I re-set the Vcore to 1.35V but everything else I am leaving alone.
Now I have to worry about some S12 Voltage? WTF man I am not getting into this.
I am stable with the settings now and I am NOT going to play any more with the Voltages.
I did last night and it took an hour to get my system back only to find that 1.35 is the least voltage that the CPU ( THE ENTIRE CPU) needs to boot up even at stock speed so what ever the hell you are all talking about I just do not get.
If this CPU bricks out because of this S12 Crap then AMD will be sending me a NEW CPU I can tell you that much!

Dude, you need to sit down and actually read posts. Quit being so intense in every post because that's going to push people away.

I said SPECIFICALLY the SVID (core voltage) in my post did I not? Have we not been talking about core voltage nearly this entire time?

If you can't handle pushing the voltage down yourself then reset it back to stock and let AMD do its thing.

4.4GHz is really great it's a "sweet spot" for this CPU IMHO. Tried 4.5Ghz and it bricks out and I am not playing with the voltages.
I am very happy with 4.4Ghz this CPU is a MONSTER and will last a good long time.
If I go past the 4.4GHz I need 1.4+ Vcore and well I do not need that kind of speed because all I play is halo and DII LOL.

You're not going to hit 4.4 all core for long if you keep your load voltage at 1.35v. There are reasons people are saying that's too high and general opinion is that you keeping it there says it won't last the year.

Well then AMD will be getting an RMA!

You're tweaking the chip and running it outside their spec. If you think they'll just hand you one over you have more than just a headache.

OK I will put it to you like this.
I will leave it here and run it like this for as long as it will and let you know if it dies.
I am running at 4.4GHz 1.35Volts! It will last forever this is the best CPU EVER MADE! You have one why you so scared?
Man the fear people have.
I remember the days back when we would post on here flame each other about Crap P3 and P4 Intel vs AMD XP monsters!
I get that you all have done YOUR tweaking and all the Youtube dummies have run all there reviews on everything BEFORE we even manage to get them!
So let me have MY fun and just know this IF this CPU does BRICK out because of some voltage, I will get a replacement.
It's no fun any more it's like it only took 8 years for the Tech kings to suck the life from EVERYTHING!
It wont last a year? Then I WILL GET A NEW ONE! FOR THERE IS A WARRANTY a 5 YEAR one! Yeah I will get a NEW one NOT scared at all!
So back to the FUN!
At 4.4Ghz so far 1.35 Vcore!

The people who are saying 1.325v is too much are the many who had their chip die at 1.325v. Those are the people who no longer have a 3700x to run because they ran it outside stock spec, at unsafe voltages.

If you ever paid attention to load voltages at stock, they are below 1.3v. Why is that? The safety of the chip as 7nm doesn't like current. Since you don't want to listen to people trying to help go ahead and drop 1.4v in and see what that does.

I'm out of this thread. You don't want to listen? You think AMD is going to hand you a free chip after burning yours? Go for it dude.
