More precise core performance for the Ryzen 7950X3D?
I received a new Ryzen 7950X3D CPU and wanted to check its performance and the vcore value. The chip has two CCDs, one with a 3DCache CCD and another standard one. The issue is that the combined vcore of both CCs should stay within certain limits—specifically, the total should not exceed 1.2v, while the standard CCD should not go above 1.4v. Based on what I found online, this seems correct. However, after some testing, I noticed my vcore often exceeded 1.2v on the 3DCache CCD, even after adjusting the curve. Also, sometimes both CCs operate together, causing the vcore reading to reflect the higher one (the normal CCD), which leads to inaccurate values. Some users online mentioned that the vcore is acceptable above 1.2v for the 7950X3D because the reading was taken from the first CCD, not the second. I’m curious if there’s a better method to clearly separate the readings from each CCD without mixing them together. And while there’s no solid proof, should the vcore of the 7950X3D really be allowed to exceed 1.2v? Thank you.
