Overclocking zen2 cores individually?

ExalyThor · Jul 25, 2024

My r5 3600 is rock solid at 4.2ghz @1.156v, it can run p95 small ffts with avx2 indefinitely. When I try to push for 4.3ghz, core 3 fails almost instantly even with 1.2v while the other cores seem to be going strong. Is it possible to keep the "lazy" core at 4.2 and overclock the rest to 4.3?

No unfortunately, I tried setting different core speeds on my 5600 using Ryzen Master. You get power limited to something like 88 watts and every core will go to 4.3 and your slow cores just clock to something like 3 GHz to stay in the power limit.
