I installed Ryzen 3600 at 1.325v yet my voltage remains consistently 1.100
Hello, as I mentioned earlier, I’m experiencing an unusual problem. Usually, when using AUTO mode, the VID works smoothly from 0.900 to 1459v. However, now in static OC mode, I set the Core Voltage to 1.325v and the VIDs are stuck or frozen, remaining at 1.100. I’ve attached the full hwinfo image for reference. Is this normal? Or is there another way to fix them individually?
VID becomes irrelevant when you put it in fixed multipliers with a manual overclock, so don't bother looking at it. Even when the processor is in stock it's not well understood exactly what it means. The best I've understood of it is to think of it as a number that represents the voltage level the processor as asking...
VID becomes irrelevant when you put it in fixed multipliers with a manual overclock, so don't bother looking at it. Even when the processor is in stock it's not well understood exactly what it means. The best I've understood of it is to think of it as a number that represents the voltage level the processor as asking for in order to get the voltage it actually wants. It might ask with a VID corresponding to 1.2, for instance, in order to get 1.3V from the VRM. But even then, it may not be getting that because of effects from VDroop and any voltage offset that may have been programmed, whether by you or the motherboard mfr.
Look mainly at CPU Core Voltage (STI2 TFN) (the actual core voltage reported by the processor) and VCore (the output voltage reported by the VRM controller) when manually overclocking Ryzen. That tells you the story of what the CPU is actually seeing and what the VRM is outputting to get that.
