Ryzen undervolting

[mockedarche]

Hello I have a r7 1700 at 3.4ghz at 1.06875volts the reason im making this thread is to hear what other people have gotten on their ryzen platform to see if I should try and go higher or lower. I always want to go over is it worth it to go up to 3.7ghz if it means im over 1.2volts? (I did a very basic test to see how high I could go) I live in New Mexico ITS HOT and my room tends to heat up quickly at stock (1.2volts) but I have noticed that at my undervolt I notice its more livable. During winter I plan to maybe overclock but to put it simple Is the performance boost from 3.4ghz to 3.7-3.8ghz worth 30 bucks for a hyper 212 evo? Yes I would need one I dont know if I seated the cpu cooler bad or what but even at this under volt i can hit 69 c. (note more of a conversational topic throw in your words even if its not fully about the topic.)

I would invest in A/C :^P

On my sample of 1700, I drew the line at 1.20v and that got me to 3.6 GHz stable with everything I've thrown at it. Not enough to get 3.7 stable at that voltage. If heat is that much of a problem there, just keep at your current setting. The slight clock difference wont make that much noticeable difference to other things, and that is a nice low voltage.

 

What is your typical room temperature? That will directly affect your CPU temps. I think 69C is fine if that is the max you ever see, and wouldn't seek to change it just for temperature alone. I can't recall what temps I had with the stock cooler. Didn't try a Hyper 212 on my 1700 but using a noctua U14S at the time made a big difference to temps and noise compared to stock.

@porinaThank you for replying "at the time"? did you go back to a i7 6700k?

I'm using my 6700k system as main for now, but I also still have the 1700 system. I started with stock cooler, upgraded to Noctua U14S, and when I got the mount kit it now has Corsair HX110i GTX on it. Waiting for Vega to complete it as an all AMD system.
