Am I stable at 1.18v?
Am I stable at 1.18v?
I'm a bit puzzled too - I'm using an ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming with a R5 2600X, and I'm trying to push my all-core speeds beyond the usual 4GHz. I've looked into some tuning options and adjusted settings. I used Ryzen Master to find a stable voltage for 4.1GHz, which came out to 1.38125v. The BIOS voltage control is really confusing; it seems to assume a much lower default voltage (around 1.18 volts), but in reality it fluctuated between 1.35 and 1.45. I thought a negative offset would help, but then realized I needed a bigger positive offset. Now I'm back to auto voltage at 4100MHz, and the VDD reading from HWMonitor is stable at 1.175. It's working well so far, though I'm still a bit unsure and a little concerned.
Voltage remains at auto and negative voltage offset regardless of load changes. Low voltage also varies with load, increasing as the load rises, which does not impact stability. Stability can be verified by executing benchmark tests such as Cine Bench
