Overclocking Ryzen 3 2200G! Need help?
Overclocking Ryzen 3 2200G! Need help?
Thanks for the help! Just fixed the CMOS, set it to default on the motherboard and everything is working properly now. Voltage readings are accurate too—VCORE at 1.320V, SOC at 1.248V, GFX at 1.3V. I’ll try overclocking again soon, really appreciate you!
Overclock update notes: CPU running at 3.9GHz, iGPU at 1600MHz. VCORE=1.356V (max), SOC=1.308 (max). Tried all settings but still sees this reading. Rumor says this motherboard lacks solid voltage monitoring. Current GFX is 1.300V. During stress tests, CPU dropped to 248MHz while iGPU was active—was that acceptable? I’m not running both under load simultaneously since my cooler isn’t reliable yet; it’s being delivered soon.
I performed this operation on a stock cooler, maintaining temperatures below 95°C under heavy load. The low point appeared just once during the stress test, specifically when the IGPU was engaged.
It’s probably just thermal throttling, which is tough to overcome with a standard cooler if your workloads are typical. Your APU might not face such extreme conditions during regular use.
Under heavy CPU and iGPU load, only one unit tested at a time, temperatures stayed below 80°C. I ran the test with Heaven benchmark and noticed a sharp frame drop from 18 to 4. When I checked the hardware monitor, the minimum CPU frequency was around 248 MHz for about a second.
