Ryzen R5 3600 4.4GHz clocking at 0.7V
Hello! I'm just starting out with overclocking and tried CTR today. During diagnostics, the voltage kept dropping to 0.6v before my PC crashed. I wanted to see how low I could push the voltage without losing points in Cinebench r20. My typical score is about 3950 at 4450ghz with 1.25v. I ran a test at 0.7v and got 3917. Is the software giving incorrect numbers, or is this normal for an R5 3600? I'm checking the Ryzen Master manual mode for overclocking and voltage tweaks.
I don’t understand how it functions, but I tested the CPU at 4.6 GHz on my old ITX B450 gaming plus AC board. That could mean a surprisingly high 3600 MHz. Is it safe to operate it at such low voltage?
I believe you secured the silicon prize. It's like winning the biggest prize.
You can use standard system monitoring tools like Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) to find the voltage. If you're unsure, consider using a multimeter for precise readings. Other software such as HWMonitor or Speccy may also provide accurate data.
Running at 4448Mhz with 1.24 volts is a specific frequency and voltage setting—common in RF testing or specialized applications.
This reading seems correct. (cpu-z v-core) It's interesting to wonder why HWInfo64 isn't precise, as it usually matches expectations on most systems.
