Ryzen 5 2600 OC question
Ryzen 5 2600 OC question
No, the adjustment is independent of X or not. Both include XFR, but x is more accurately placed in a higher binned range, which allows for quicker turbo response. The first batch had a 20c offset while the second used 10c.
CountMike explained the situation clearly. The offset remains the same regardless of X or not. Both versions include an XFR, but the x value is higher in the first version and allows for quicker turbo performance. The first series had a 20c offset while the second had a 10c. It's confusing to reconcile this with what I've seen elsewhere. The quote that comes to mind is from Sir Walter Scott: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
I've been keeping an eye on Ryzen for six months prior to its release and saw it launch with 1600x just when it appeared. About a month after that, I upgraded to 1700x and then further to 2700x.
CountMike has been tracking Ryzen for six months before its release and quickly saw significant improvements, reaching up to 1600x shortly after it became available. He then upgraded to 1700x and now stands at 2700x. He acknowledges the experience but is puzzled by a statement from Hilbert Hagadoorn on Guru3d, which claims AMD is applying a 10C offset only to the Ryzen 2700X. He seeks clarity on whether there is a current agreement on the correct core temperature for any Ryzen model.
The discussion centers on using the correct temperature reading from HW Info at "CPU (tdie)" for accurate core temperature measurement. The speaker notes that Ryzen chips have two sensors with a 10°C offset, and this point has been mentioned before. They clarify that for a 2600 processor, the offset isn't present in HWInfo64, while for a 1700 it is, since TDie and TCtrl readings match exactly without any adjustment needed. They suggest this behavior might also apply to the 2600 model's report tables.
