I believe I have a stable Ryzen 2700X with 4.2Ghz and 1.3125v. I completed a stress test using Prime95 for 20 minutes and 30 minutes of rendering at very high settings in 3ds Max. Over the past four days, I haven’t experienced any freezing issues. The temperatures seem to be within normal ranges for this voltage, though I’m unsure if they’re optimal. The AIO LC - Coolermaster Master Liquid ML360R is installed, along with MB - Crosshair Hero Wi-Fi, RAM - GSKill Tridentz 2x8GB at 3200MHz, and h500p without the front panel during testing. The thermal paste used is CM Mastergel Maker Nano. Is this setup safe for continuous operation? The voltage is low, but I notice higher temperatures during stress tests.
It's a trial-and-error process similar to most overclocking attempts. Begin by reducing the voltage to 1.28V (just a bit less, not more). Then turn on LLC and start with the lowest level, then stress test to check stability. If it works, increase LLC and lower the voltage again, starting low. Continue this cycle of adjusting voltage and LLC until you find the optimal balance for performance and heat. You'll need to estimate yourself to reach the ideal setting.
75 isn't too high... not really (≤70C I think is best) Anything below 80C is fine though. The voltage is actually higher than I hoped. I try to maintain under 1.3V but it's pretty close. Have you adjusted the Vdroop settings or used a platform equivalent... usually load line calibration? While it raises heat, it often lets you achieve the same stable outcomes with lower voltages at the same frequency because of reduced voltage variation. And if you bring the voltage down enough, your temperatures might even be better than they are now.
When progressing through each stage of load line calibration (LLC), the voltage variation tends to reduce more significantly, while the temperature rises slightly with each adjustment. However, as noted, achieving a sufficiently low voltage even at high LLC levels can result in overall lower heat compared to the 1.31V output, offering a dual benefit: reduced heat and fewer voltage fluctuations, which enhances long-term operation stability.

I placed it on LLC3 automatically and observed lower temperatures in the stress test. The VCore is now at 1.254 V, and core VID at 1.275 V (not sure if they are the same). Current maximum temperatures are around 70°C.
I'll experiment with it, until I discover the perfect balance.
