ASUS Prime-P Overclocking Voltage Controls
ASUS Prime-P Overclocking Voltage Controls
Hello,
I recently tried using 1usmus's CTR for a safe overclock and voltage setting on my Ryzen 3600X CPU. I opted to apply the changes directly in the BIOS rather than using post-boot software.
The ASUS BIOS seems a bit tricky for me. After adjusting the CPU clock speed and setting the voltage to 1.25, I saved the changes and restarted the system. A monitoring tool confirmed the overclock was successful, but it reported the voltage as 1.1. When I attempted a stress test, the computer stopped and won’t boot now. I think I need to reset the CMOS battery and try again.
My question remains: are there additional voltage controls in the ASUS Prime-P BIOS that I should tweak to ensure a consistent 1.25v during manual overclocking?
Thanks!
You might consider using an LLC to counteract vdroop. Apply LLC on the initial two configurations and observe if the voltage drop decreases compared to previous results.
Keep an eye on the display while using LLC; at elevated settings it may cause overvoltage of the CPU.
CMOS reset should restore the system to normal operation.
Hey there,
Not every chip performs well at the target speed when voltage is too low. Each one is unique, including yours. I’d begin at 1.3v and gradually increase the clock speed. Check if it works. Then run a stress test using Prime95’s small FFTs. Clean up, repeat.
You might need to reset the BIOS/CMOS after a failed overclock; usually you can access BIOS, adjust settings, save, and reboot.
Once stable, reduce the vcore bit slowly, testing at each step to confirm stability.
Hi Keith,
Thanks for your input. I’m not an expert in OCing, but I understand the basics. From my stress tests so far, I think 1.25v should work for the 43.25 setting. However, I might have missed a voltage option in Windows that loaded at 1.1v and didn’t return to BIOS on startup. When I power on the computer, the MOBO lights up but no signal reaches the monitors. I’m currently at work and plan to reset the CMOS using the jumper pins later today before trying again.
