Static ryzen overclocks

DominicNikon · July 4, 2020

Hello, I own a 3950x paired with a gigabyte aorus xtreme and i have a overclock at 4.3ghz 1.35V and 1867 infinity fabric and i was wondering is there any bios settings to lower idle temperature since the cpu wont need as much power say on the desktop or is it using full power/voltage all the time just a negative of doing a overclock

I never thought of the additional heat as a negative because it's always been part of overclocking.

You could always try QuickCpu and manually adjust windows power settings to your own liking. Core parking and so forth. Pretty useful utility, may help you along the way there.

Yeah that's true and it's not a big deal since I'm on a custom loop but I was just wondering since my last cpu which was a i5 4670k (haswell) would only use the full overclocked voltage during 100% usage and it would decrease as the load decreased

Making sure that Cool'n'Quiet as well as C-States remain enabled is a start.

Speed step is a little different creature.

When you manually OC the Ryzen, it pretty much shuts off all the green that's on auto in bios. If the selections for enabled are available for the c-states and or power states, perhaps try that.

The SenseMi algorithm is essentially disabled because user wants control now

Pretty much how AMD works. I personally prefer the voltage always where I've set it. Easier to watch for fluctuations and can adjust the LLC accordingly.

ninja'ed.
