High or standard VDDR SOC voltage?
High or standard VDDR SOC voltage?
I just assembled a PC using a R3 2200G and discovered online that overclocking significantly boosts performance. After reviewing videos and discussions about the SOC Voltage, I saw a comment suggesting it should be around 1.2v. However, my BIOS settings are set to auto at 1.5v. Is this typical? My PC model is pcpartpicker.com/b/sQxG3C.
I didn't create a new topic since this was about the 1.5V issue.
I have r3 2200g on an asus b-350M-A MB. I set the GPU to 1500MHz, the graphics voltage to 1.2V, and the system voltage to 1.1V by default. After saving and rebooting, the system automatically increased the SOC voltage to 1.5V, but I'm unsure why that happened.
Now I need to set the SOC voltage back to 1.2V because 1.5V is too high. I've read that 1.2V is acceptable, but we shouldn't exceed it. Staying below 1.2V will prevent a blue screen on my GPU. In my experience, anything under 1.2V works well. My current setup uses a stock cooler, and during gaming my temperatures stay below 65°C. I also overclock the CPU at 3.85Hz with 1.32V, and in Prime95 the maximum temperature is 82°C.
So, did I do it correctly? If not, what should I do?
I didn't want to start another topic since it was my question about these 1.5V.
I have r3 2200g on an ASUS B-350M-A MB. I installed the GPU at 1500MHz, set the graphics voltage to 1.2V, and left the SOC voltage at (default) 1.1V. After saving and rebooting, the system automatically increased the SOC voltage to 1.5V, but I don't understand why that happened.
Now I need to adjust the SOC voltage back to 1.2V because 1.5V is too high. I read a lot and found that 1.2V is fine, but we shouldn't exceed it. Staying under 1.2V would cause a blue screen in my case. So 1.2V seems safe for my GPU.
My question is whether 1.2V is a stable voltage for everyday use? I use the stock cooler and during gaming my temperatures stay below 65°C. I also overclock the CPU at 3.85Hz with 1.32V, and in Prime 95 the max temperature is 82°C.
Did I do it correctly, or am I missing something? If not, what should I do? Could this be a bug in the ASUS boards, or is this normal? This is the main reason I posted this thread—I worry it might harm the APU over time.
I don't understand much, but I've read you really. You definitely don't want your voltage ever reaching 1.2 or the CPU voltage staying at 1.5, because that would damage your CPU. I saw a gamer NeXus video and heard about similar BIOS issues.
I don't understand much but I've read you really. You definitely don't want your voltage ever reaching 1.2 and that's the maximum allowed for the CPU. That's why you shouldn't have it at 1.5—it could damage your CPU. I saw a gamer's NeXus video and heard about similar BIOS issues. So are you suggesting I set it to 1.2v?
When loading default bios settings, the CPU operates at 1.4V and SOC at 1.1V. This configuration ensures the MB remains at a higher voltage for the CPU.
