AVX ratio offset OC
AVX ratio offset OC
It seems your setup has four layers at 25% each. For level 3, an output of 1.275v works. Just keep testing and fine-tuning until there are no issues. I tried AIDA64 and Prime95 for 12 hours each, but they crashed during shutdown. That’s why I suggest double-checking everything. Crashing while gaming or working is really frustrating.
Zebarjadi.raouf suggests the setup likely has four levels at 25% each. A 1.275v setting for level three should suffice. Keep testing and fine-tuning until issues disappear. I tried AIDA64 with Prime95 for 12 hours, but it crashed during shutdown. That’s why I advise being very careful. Crashing while gaming or working is really frustrating. I think I need AVX offset, but many others have the same clock without it. Did I just hit bad luck with the chips?
You can achieve success by raising the voltage and LLC OC to your preference, ensuring stability and keeping temperatures below 80°C for regular use. Just avoid exceeding a 1.40V core voltage. It would be rare to encounter a faulty chip under these conditions.

If your PC is mainly used for gaming and browsing, AVX offset isn't necessary. The offset has shown problems—it reduces CPU speed, affects core voltages, and can lead to instability in certain systems, particularly when voltages are near stable levels. When you only play games and surf the web, AVX isn't a concern; running a stress test program that uses AVX and raises temperatures significantly is acceptable. Prime95 version 26.6 with small FFTs shows CPU maximum temperatures under typical conditions. Asus RealBench indicates CPU stability. Using Prime95 doesn't guarantee stability testing, nor does it confirm good thermal performance from other programs.

If all your pc is used for is games there's no need for any AVX offset at all. Also the offset has reported issues, it not only drops the cpu speed, but also vcore voltages and this can and will cause instability in some systems, especially if vcore is barely into stable voltages.
If all you do is game and websurf etc, AVX is no worries, you'll never have need of it, so use of a torture test program that does use AVX and drives temps well beyond anything you'd normally see is nuts.
Prime95 v26.6 small fft = cpu max temps under normal situations.
Asus RealBench = cpu stability.
Prime95 usage does not mean stability testing, RealBench or other programs does not imply good thermal testing.
Ok. I will report both Prime 5 26.6 and Asus Realbench, both with and without AVX offset. Thanks, salm2s
Zebarjadi.raouf can suggest doing it by raising the voltage and using an LLC OC as much as needed. Just ensure stability and a temperature below 80°C for regular use. Avoid exceeding 1.40v Vcore. It would be lucky not to encounter a faulty chip. I've seen people succeed with 1.36-1.38v at 4.6Ghz. Your setup should perform better.

Some MB makers, such as ASRock, automatically reduce AVX to avoid overheating or stability problems on consumer CPUs since it's rarely needed unless you're involved in content creation like rendering. When you overclock, the BIOS switches to various instructions for AUTO. It's advised to enter these settings manually because AUTO can switch between options unpredictably.

If it failed, it shows the processor couldn't manage the increased load from AVX. I’d raise the voltage to 1.275v and maintain the AVX offset at 2. Also, performance drops to 4.3GHz only when AVX is active and games don’t rely on it. Also, did you adjust the LLC settings manually? It can assist in avoiding voltage drops. Level 4 or higher (50%) is advised. Test for a few days with software and games. If everything remains stable, it’s good to go.
