Inquiries about iGPU overclocking
Inquiries about iGPU overclocking
My setup includes a Ryzen 3 2200G boosted to 4.0GHz, an Integrated Vega 3 at 1100MHz, Corsair Vengeance LPX with 2x8GB RAM at 3000MHz, and a Gigabyte B450 Aorus motherboard. I attempted to push the iGPU further but discovered the VRM lacks heatsinks for the SOC. When extra voltage is applied to the stock 1.1V SOC, VRM temperatures spike to around 100°C. Your questions are clear—please clarify your needs. 1. SOC voltage affects stability during overclocking. 2. APU GFX refers to integrated graphics performance. 3. If CPU slows despite higher iGPU voltage, consider boosting SOC voltage cautiously.
1. Yes, the SOC voltage influences the IO die and interconnect, which impacts the i-gpu.
2. It might be incorrect, but it resembles the APU frequency.
3. Concentrate on the SOC voltage. If it doesn't limit performance at 100°C, the MOSFETs should handle it; otherwise, consider adding a fan.
Voltage changes can affect temperatures significantly, and adjusting the APU GFX voltage might help reach higher performance. However, it's important to monitor temperatures closely to avoid overheating, as you experienced. Overclocking typically involves more than just voltage adjustments—it often requires balancing multiple settings.
