You can gradually lower the voltage while adjusting the clockspeed to around 4.1. Start with a small reduction—perhaps 0.1V—and monitor the temperature and idle behavior. Aim for a stable 1.10V at 4.1kHz, checking with Ryzen Master and CPU-Z. Keep an eye on performance and thermal output to ensure it stays within safe limits.
I'm checking if everything looks okay and wondering about any possible long-term impacts. I'm concerned about whether running the system at that specific voltage and clock speed might affect the CPU over time or increase the risk of it failing completely.
Undervolting won't harm your CPU, just may lead to instability during heavy tasks if it isn't stable. Compare your findings with benchmarks. Some discussions mention Ryzen showing higher clock speeds at stock voltages versus undervolted ones, but that doesn’t always hold true—check thoroughly.
