Here are some odd results from overclocking a 3700X that I had to fix.
Here are some odd results from overclocking a 3700X that I had to fix.
I set the Ryzen 3700X manual overclock to 4450 MHz at 1.2875 volts. In my tests with Cinebench R20 it hits 70 C max and gets a score of 5275. CPUZ shows multi cores at 5988 and single core at 539. After using this for days and running benchmarks, the computer stays totally stable. Am I missing something? I haven't seen numbers like this before.
I have a 3700X with stock settings and am getting 531.6 single/cp2k speed tests. You guys are doing pretty well overall.
Here comes low power when you're not using a lot of electricity. It's about one volt lower for normal use. If you push too much power, even at that voltage, your computer will get hot and die fast. AMD lets you turn the CPU up to run faster than it normally can, but most people don't need that extra speed or power control. Just leave it alone like it was meant to be.
But does it run always at 1.34v? I thought that 1.34v would be the highest voltage with a heavy load. After I reset the BIOS to its original factory settings, my results in CPU-Z were even better. Single-thread test: 524 Multi-thread (16 threads): 5569. I hope these default CPU-Z settings are safe for the 3700X.
Since every single CPU we've ever made includes the exact same BIOS setup in its official release, I really think anyone using those default settings should feel pretty secure. It's almost like assuming your car with the safety features you bought at the store is safe to drive, right? So if a CPU comes out of the factory with stock options, it should be fine for that person.
While the point is well-made, as a counter-argument, I'd note...FX-9590.
First, looking at it, you probably thought that wasn't enough. But if they had good air flow, there was no problem with how many units were available. The real issue was that it took a full custom loop to work well. It didn't fix the same problem as the original H80i package we used before.
