r5 1600 high voltage?

[Darkshadowhaxor]

Hi, I'm a little confused about the voltage of my r5 1600. I have been into the bios and set the clock speed to 3.5 but not touched the voltage. It seems my though that the voltage has automatically increased? It appears to be displaying 1.55v in different monitoring software (HWmonitor and NZXT CAM). Is this right and is that voltage safe? Should I set a manual voltage in the motherboard? Any help apprenticed for an overclocking newbie

I imagine you have the voltage set to "auto" which I imagine would alter the voltage based on what the motherboard sees as required to be stable.

 

Also, you can see your CPU voltage is sitting at 1.24.

 

CPU VCORE is what you are looking for.

 

I would use AMD Ryzen Master if you want to monitor your voltages IMO.

^Agree...  I would use ryzen master to OC, especially if you are kinda new to this.
