Help OC Ryzen 7 2700X
Hello, I’m looking to increase my CPU’s speed to 4.2ghz, but I’m new to this process.
My current setup includes:
Asus Strix Helios
Asus Strix B450-E
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with cooling from Asus Strix LC 360
I attempted adjusting these parameters:
Ai Overclock Tuner set to Manual
BCLK Frequency at 100.0000
CPU Core Ratio 42.00
Core Performance Boost turned off
CPU Core Voltage in Offset Mode
CPU Offset Mode Sign set to +
CPU Core Voltage Offset is 0.156 (actually)
CPU LLC remains Regular
Global C-State Control enabled
I haven’t modified any other settings besides these, except for RAM frequency, timing, and voltage.
I’ve managed to run Cinebench R20 multiple times, using 3dmarks and some games, but when I stop using the benchmark or enter a bench (and thus get slightly higher temps), the PC crashes after a few seconds.
Additionally, I’ve observed that when the CPU is idle, the voltage doesn’t drop—it only changes the frequency.
Could someone assist me?
Thank you!
To adjust the voltage in idle for an LLC setup, follow the appropriate procedures outlined in your specific guidelines. Regular, medium adjustments may be necessary depending on the system requirements.
I operated an LLC LEVEL 3 with a 140% capacity and adjusted the manual voltage on my rog strix x470 f gaming at 2600x.
What concerns you is the idle voltage. When using default settings, the voltage drops to 0.800v during idle, but when overclocking the CPU it doesn't decrease. Do you have any insight into this?
My voltage remains consistent and is still lower than when using auto with PBO and XFR2 enabled, especially within the 1.4 to 1.5 GHz range. How does your system behave at 4.2 GHz under the same voltage? Does it experience any issues? My 2600x boost handles the 4.2 turbo well, but in manual mode with OC set to 4.1 to 4.125 GHz, it only reaches 4.1 to 4.125 GHz. It seems you might be aiming for a voltage reduction that isn't possible under normal conditions. As CountMike mentioned, higher LLC levels can allow lower voltages. From the forum discussion on the Rog Strix X470, LLC 2 is considered normal or equal to zero. The current capabilities in the Digi Power settings are beneficial at 140% and are recommended for most operating guides.
