Is there a reason to consider offset voltage when running offsets on Ryzen SOC?
Is there a reason to consider offset voltage when running offsets on Ryzen SOC?
According to the previous discussion, evaluating whether running Ryzen's SOC in offset mode provides sufficient benefits is necessary before deciding its use.
From my perspective, this seems more about memory OC techniques rather than general advice.
Based on what I've observed and tested, it's best to keep the SOC above 1.2 and avoid altering the SOC LLC, keeping it on auto.
I've adjusted the SOC voltage—starting at 1.1v, then tweaking it slightly—I didn’t notice any improvement. My goal was to set generic 2400 DIMMS to 2733, achieving stable results with a voltage of 1.1v and timings that weren’t overly aggressive.
For CPU, the approach might still apply.
I’m not confident this information is useful or applicable in a broader context.
Very useful! Did you see any changes in your SOC? For instance, currently I have 1.1625v in BIOS, while HWINFO shows VDDSOC at 1.55v and SOC SVIN2 at 1.15v.

Very useful! Thanks!
Have you observed any vdroop on your SOC? For instance, currently I have 1.1625v SOC in bios, but in HWINFO the VDDSOC is at 1.55v and SOC SVIN2 is at 1.150v.
Yes, there is a slight effect. My setup is at 1.1v in bios, showing 1,094 in HWinfo, then dropping to around 1.087. I noticed minimal impact from increasing the SOC voltage or adjusting SOC LLC. I own an Asus Prime B350. To be honest, I didn’t perform any rigorous testing—just some observations while experimenting and basic memory tests (latency, read, write, etc.) which were my main objectives. Now that I’m close to the expected values, I haven’t explored further yet.
