Another OC question
Another OC question
I finally read and discovered some tips that helped me achieve a solid, stable overclock without unstable temperatures. Besides the clock speed, I realized the chip operates at a certain voltage, which means I had to adjust the CPU and SCO Load Line calibration to "level 1". Now I have a stable 3.9ghz OC on my 1700 ASRock Taichi X370 motherboard. My next question is:
When the chip runs at stock speeds, I notice it automatically reduces its frequency by about half when not under load. For example, if the normal clock is 3ghz, it drops to around 1.45ghz during light use until it needs more power.
I’ve observed that after this overclock, the lowest it will drop back to is 3.4ghz no matter how much it’s used. Is there another setting or area in BIOS where it behaves like it does at stock speed? I checked the advanced power settings and they’re the same as before—maybe something else needs adjusting?
No, it's your multiplier that's causing this. The lock is increasing the frequency. I think that's what's happening.
Running Ryzen turns off idle mode, which can be a bit bothersome. Fingers crossed they improve it in the upcoming Ryzen 3000 release.
