Ryzen Voltage Control?

[suits]

So in the bios I've got my voltage set to 1.4V. Which then makes it vary from a min. of 1.308 and a max of 1.373 and the average at 1.352.

 

running a 1700 on a Crosshair Hero. 

 

Anyone else running the Crosshair or any other board have the same thing. Sure would be nice to have a constant voltage of what I set it to. Would make getting a stable voltage a lot easier to not have to set a "maximum" range and adjust knowing it'll mostly sit .50 volts lower than what you set...

But why would you want to force your CPU to use more voltage than it needs and decrease its life span and increase temperatures?

I don't want it to use more. But I should have to put in 1.4V for it to use 1.35V.

 

like freaking let me decide.

But it's not using exactly 1.35......

You said so yourself it's using 1.308-1.373.

And depending on what stress test you run it might even use more.

That's why you set a max value and then tweak your overclock for that value...

I have this on the same board

i dialed in 1.45 to get 1.41 under load 

but then to idle at 1.45 lol

 

the way to fix this best as posible is to set line load calibration to lv 3 (3is great on my board) 

 

what you are experiancing is called v droop 

 

and line load calibration counters it

 

also on our boards by default not all the vrms are used unless so many get hot or something then the step In

 

iv not done it but there is a guide somewhere if u look on google to set them all to be enabled and it allows for a much more stable voltage without llc

I get that but it makes it a pain to overclock compared to my 7700k and 6800k. When I put in 1.4 it gives me 1.4. So much nicer for finding a stable OC.

Did you have a problem with your CPU led light turning on on the mb?

How does that make any sense...

If you put in 1.4 and the CPU uses slightly less then you also have found a stable overclock....

Why does it make it a pain to have it use slightly less than a number you put in??

If you can't understand why I would want it to have 1.4V when I manually input 1.4V I really can't explain it to you. I want to choose the voltage, I want to see what is stable, Instead I have to monkey around trying to find out what the motherboard is going to actually give it as opposed to what I tell it to give.

You don't need to know what the motherboard is giving as long as it's below a maximum limit and will not kill your CPU...

This is completely irrelevant to overclocking...

 

The way you overclock is you pick the highest voltage number you're comfortable with, and then you increase the multiplier until it is no longer stable, and then you back it off a little.

You don't need to know if the motherboard is providing 1.38 or 1.32 or whatever as long as you know it won't go over 1.4.

You run your stress tests, and if it's stable, you leave it. If it's not, then you either A) increase the voltage a little or B) decrease the clock speed.
