Undervolting Ryzen 5 3600 safely? (anyone? pls help)

[VerTTi]

How would i go about safely undervolting and setting clockspeed to 4,1? 1,? volts does it need at 4,1 clockspeed my wildest quess would be 1.10 or something? The reason im doing this is because im not keen seein the high temps that idle voltages cause 40-60 c idle with constant 1,375v (can drop to 1v and go up to 1,4+ but its brief so avrg it stays on 1,375) (Monitoring with Ryzen master and cpuz)

Does this seem safe and stable? undervolted to 1,1 and clockspeed is 4,1

So many views but no replies

Try running some stress tests and see if it is stable or not that way

I have and it seems fine but what im worried is that is there any long term effects of this? or a bigger chance for the cpu to just die than just leaving the clock at 4,2 and voltages at 1,375 at all times.

No undervolting shouldn't do anything bad in the long run and could make your cpu last longer since it would have lower temps

Undervolting should not damage your CPU, only cause instability in high stress workloads (if not stable). But check your results with benchmarks. I've read other posts/forums where (similar to yours) Ryzen reports a high clock speed when undervolted, but performance decreases fairly dramatically (meaning 4.1@stock voltages performs a lot better than 4.1@undervolted).

 

Not saying this is the case though, but rather be thorough.
