Question Strange OC behavior r5 3600
Hello, I'm trying to optimize my R5 3600. I've previously achieved 4.2ghz at 1.3v but it became unstable, so I restarted the whole setup. The BIOS shows 1.325v, but according to Ryzen Master it should be 1.275, which leads to crashes. I need to manually adjust the voltage in Ryzen Master while only changing the BIOS settings. Msi B450 Tomahawk Max, thanks for any help!
Hey there,
Here are your full PC specifications. It's recommended to move away from Ryzen Master and rely only on BIOS overclocking. You can apply a vcore offset to lower voltage or use CO in the BIOS together with PBO for optimal performance. Always test your system for stability after each adjustment. Wash, rinse, repeat until you achieve the speed you want.
Also, download Hwinfo and run it to verify the vcore values—it should function correctly from the sensor. I remember there was a problem with RM where it failed to report the correct voltages.

Hello
I have an R5 3600 with an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, running Corsar Vengeance Pro at 3600MHz.
I'm using BIOS to set up my configurations, applying a 1.325v and 42x multiplier.
PBO is enabled, which gives me PPT, EDC, TCD limits, and LLC mode 5.
In the BIOS I see 1.275v when I change it, but in the RAM I still see 1.325v.
The guide you shared gave me similar results with 42x and PBO settings.
Switching to offset mode gives odd voltages, and honestly I'm not sure how much to use.
If you're not aware, this is new territory for me.
😀
I'd like to maximize performance from my R5 3600 until I can afford an upgrade to AM5.
Corsair rm850e shows 1.275v, but hwmonitor reports 1.319v. Hwinfo confirms 1.319v. Both monitor readings indicate every core is near 4.2ghz, while RM claims it's between 2-3ghz at idle. Uncertain if this inconsistency is specific to RM or a broader issue.
How high are the readings under load? The data from HWiNFO 64 and Ryzen Master differ significantly. HWiNFO 64 displays much higher voltages than what Ryzen Master shows. For example, in the attached image, Ryzen Master lists 1.209 peak and 1.0363 average, whereas HWiNFO 64 reports 1.456V...
It's around 4.1-4.2ghz and 1.319v. My OC might be accurate, but the display could be showing wrong. It seems strange that it crashed when Rm said 1.275v and fixed it when I adjusted to 1.325v. I'll test it again tomorrow.
