  1. I probably could dial it in further with higher voltages for slightly higher clocks, but I am happy with what I am getting now, and remaining within what i KNOW is my CPUs FIT safe limit is. I don't want the chip to start becoming unstable down the line months / year from now. And for my use case (gaming / video editing), everything is running amazingly smooth and stable with this OC (unlike my attempts to OC my Ryzen 5 3600x before I knew about FIT or how to find out safe voltages) I was just following the procedure outlined in an AMD post about voltages and how to find the FIT for your specific CPU (every chip is different due to the silicone lottery), very happy with what I am running at now.
  2. I went into the BIOS and enabled PBO, went to advanced options, cranked up the PPT, TDC, and EDC as high as I could (maxed out to 4900 or so), then ran Prime95 Small FFT for a few hours, average voltage came up around 1.18v. System is running great with the low voltages, and thermals have never been better. Very surprised it can hold the clock speeds with that low voltage.
  3. ***Just an update here*** So went over the method to find my chips FIT, and turns out it's around 1.17v - 1.19v. So after finding this out, I again went at some overclocking with those voltages to see what would happen... I was surprised to say the least. Able to run stable at 4.25ghz @ 1.18v in both Cinebench R15 (Score of 2125), and in Cinebench R20 (Score of 4938). Temps at max load never got above 70c, was actually bouncing around 65c the entire time. I posted my WAY TOO HIGH VOLTAGE OC benchmarks to pinned thread here, and the scores don't seem too bad in comparison. Screenshots in the links below. R15 R20 Thanks to everyone here for helping me talk through this! Y'all are the best
  4. Figured I'd throw my scores in too, all overclocking done via Ryzen Master, didn't mess with LLC or anything in BIOS, but here are my scores. Ryzen 7 3700x @ 4.4ghz - 1.337v Same Overclock and same processor, but running R20
  5. Oh wow! Thanks for that info, just googled it and it looks like a great place to learn from others "loadouts" if you will! Cheers mate!
  6. Im gonna do it here today at some point. I used to participate in the 3dmark spreadsheet in the GPU section but kinda stopped, real life things. But im in a much better position today to get back in to these things (disposable income helps )
  7. My GOODNESS! After looking over the pinned "Post your Cinebench Scores" post here, and seeing some of these overclocks and voltage settings IDK if they are 24/7 running like that, but makes me want to submit mine haha. But after all this talk about killing chips with voltages / thermals, etc, im scared lol
  8. Haha that actually is my current setup, I have a Ryzen 2200g in my HTPC at the moment, the 3600x would just be a drop in replacement, id have to switch mobos for the intel to fit
  9. So I just got my new Ryzen 7 3700x, which has now freed up my 3600x for other uses. I also have a full i7 - 8600k system just laying around collecting dust. On you're guy's professional opinion, which one should I use with my HTPC set up? I know they are both overkill, but I want to put one of em back into commission What do you guys think?
  10. How would I go about checking the limits of my PBO? Just monitor my vCore using Ryzen Master or CPU-Z?
  11. Fair enough. I thought it was a pretty impressive overclock, but ive now turned it back to just basic ol PBO to let it do its thing and adjust the voltages as their own software sees fit, and im not seeing any degradation in FPS in games (to the point where I want to turn it back up to 4.4ghz, but I do see it regularly boost up to around 4.2ghz, so ill just leave it as is until I find a real need to overclock. Thanks for the response
  12. Whats up guys. So I just got my new Ryzen 7 3700x and the first thing I wanted to do was overclock, test and benchmark it to see how high I could get it. I did everything through Ryzen Master, got it stable up to 4.4ghz on 1.337v and was happy with that. Screenshots of CPUID and Ryzen Master But got me wondering why the Ryzen 5 3600x had a TDP of 95w and the Ryzen 7 3700x only had a TDP of 65w, and if this might be the reason I was able to overclock higher, and this started the conversation on voltages. I read AMDs official posting about how tools are reporting the voltages with Ryzen and how they are incorrect most of the time, did the CPU-Z test (with default settings) to ensure my chip was downclocking to 1v or under at idle, and it was, but am still kind of confused. TL;DR here is, is it unsafe to run that high of an all core overclock on this chip, and with that voltage? Will it brick the chip at any given time? Is there a reason to NOT overclock these (aside from just wanting to be safe?) Cheers
  13. I've googled it, and searched everywhere I could think of in Cinebench R15 to clear scores, but there doesnt seem to be a way. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I know I could just re-install it but, you'd figure there would be an option for it LOL Thanks
  14. Yooooo thanks for that! You rock! ? Luckily those wall bricks I purchased from amazon weren't too expensive! Ill be getting new wall bricks and new cables and see if listening for that 2x chime noise plays. Much appreciated @Kilrah
