Is CPU-z showing 1.4v, or is that just the value you've got plugged in to Ryzen Master/the UEFI?

It's set volts, real under load is more like 1.387v

I've updated CB15 thread with my best so far 4.4/4.6 IF1866 run.
Can't get 1900 with 4 sticks so far and need to do more testing to figure out if my 3600MHz memory kit is failing or IF. I will try 2 stick runs later to see what is going on there.
 
The highest I will go is 1.344v. 1.387v isn't that much higher, but you still might want to back that down a little. Really 1.325v during heavy loads is as high as people should normally get.

Thanks for your advice but think you are confusing 24/7 with my suicide runs for fun. 🙂

No need to worry.
I've been overclocking CPUs since MOS 6502 (yes, resonator solder mod on 8 bit machine) and have some basic EE knowledge taken from technical studies in that subject. I see no issue pushing even 1.5V for short runs as long as it is properly cooled.

When comes to daily, I will stick to 1.2 - 1.33V range as you say, but not because I worry about my CPU (I don't) but simply because this is closer to efficiency curve on these CPUs when you push for high clocks.

I just need to back off 50MHz on each chiplet to drop voltages to 1.34V, loose 1-2% performance and save 40W under load.

I've mentioned before, my daily clock will be stock with tweaked memory or 4.2GHz 1.2V depending o tasks I will do.
 
How bad are these power reporting deviation numbers?

That's after being at full load; clocks at stock and a little undervolting. For you personally, would that be enough to warrant a different motherboard, or am I misreading it? The minimum is always 88.9% after fully loading the CPU.

You have to look at your current reading during CB20 all core load. That figure taken during 100% load is meaningful.

Oh okay. Carry on then!

@JoeRambo

I found that even voltage offsets messed up that value. So yeah it has to be bone stock. It also helps to use an external power meter or (even better) voltmeter to gain some perspective on what kind of power is really in use.

My god! Overclocking R9 with 2 chiplets is like ... twice the fun! Can't even think of endless possibilities TR3990X offers. I would spend weeks on dailing that thing in 😀
So far today I've found 100% stable IF/Mem combo with 4 sticks at 3733MHz CL16-16-16 1T and 1866MHz IF. Hopefully during the week I will have time to push that extra 30MHz, but I need to reiterate, my kit is B-die rated for 3600 CL16.

As for clocking, I've found voltage thresholds from which performance degrades and for sure 4.2GHz @1.2V is a bit too low as vDrop goes to 1.16V under load. Pushing it to 1.25V gets me now full crunching power with Auto LL or I can set LL to level 3 and use 1.225V to avoid performance degradation.

I gave up on offset voltage. I was 1.32v stock with offset. It sucked. All core 4175ghz all core is all my chip will do 1.36v CPU-z reading. Ryzen 3600. I may try to bump it down to 1.35v. People should remember the Ryzen chips in stock are usually high 1.39v-1.4v+ under load. Mine is 1.36v non stop with all core 4175mhz 24x7
 
I already have this bios downloaded for my board but won't be installing it until tomorrow.

Other than what is listed in the changelog I hasn't really found anything else on the internet about it. I tend to search multiple forums for issues whenever they drop a new bios version before loading them.

If you use Ryzen Master you'll need to uninstall it and reinstall it after every uEFI update.
 
How odd. Especially with Zen3 coming out in a few months. Though I suppose software optimizations for Zen2 should carry over pretty well to Zen3.
 
Hi all,

I think I'm set on finally upgrading my old platform which means new motherboard, new CPU and new memory. And the Ryzen 3000 series seems to be a great performance per cost ratio place at the moment. My purpose is for workstation work, not gaming, so stability with plenty of throughput and speed is the goal. I crunch large amounts of data, transcode, encode, etc, massive files in the 4Gb~100Gb range at a time, and the software I use benefits highly from both single core performance and multi-threaded performance, so I need best of both worlds in that sense.

I'm thinking of the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU.

Looking for advice on a matching board and memory for a budget of around $750 total. I'm thinking of: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Elite or maybe the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus? Was looking at Corsair Vengeance 32Gb (16x2) DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 memory. Suggestions to improve in this price range?

Very best,
