s about Ryzen 3600 OC
Hey guys!
I have a few questions about the Ryzen 5 3600 and its overclocking options.
MOBO: B450 Tomahawk Max latest bios "7C02v3A2(Beta version)"
I experimented with several settings and just want to verify what I measured.
I used the "Clock Tuner for Ryzen by 1USMUS" on all default configurations, which returned these results:
Bronze sample CPU
š
1.250V
3925 CCX1
3950 CCX2
And the Cinebench R23 scores were:
Multi 9204
Single 1171
7.86 x
Then I tried without the Clock Tuner:
BIOS settings PBO enabled +200 and auto clock & voltage
The Cinebench results were:
Single 9215
Multi 1240
7.43 x
What concerns me is that HWinfo displays an average voltage of 1.449V during a 20-minute stress test with the PBO auto settings.
Iām really surprised by this and wanted to see if thereās an issue with how HWinfo measures the Ryzen 5.
What would you suggest I use moving forward? The Clock Tuner result seems safer since it limits voltage, even though core performance is lower but voltage is acceptable?
Or is the default voltage perfectly fine and safe (I canāt believe theyād make the defaults harmful)?
The temperatures never became a problem and stayed below 60Ā°C.
Thanks a bunch ahead!

EDIT: I found out that HWinfo isnāt accurate because it boosts the voltage itself.
While using Ryzen Master, it still reached 1.375V during Cinebench stress. Any advice?
Forums can be a good sign if voltage problems arise, as more discussions would likely follow. It might not be so disappointing with a bronze CPU. CTR indicates mine is silver, but I think that's just politeness. One of my CPUs is weak, so it limits things a bit. My PC mainly handles multimedia, YouTube, and videos, though gaming is the main use. After many CTRs and benchmarks in CPU and games, I feel like the value assigned here might be too high. For me, this is how it works out:

After many CTRs and benchmarks in CPU and games, I feel like thereās too much emphasis on this. Hereās how it works for me:
I set up 3600x at 4.4MHz at 1.45V, but it feels a bit hot.
OC all cores at 4.3MHz with 1.25V gives a nice boost in CPU20, no change in game performance.
Undervolting all cores to 4.15MHz at 1.2V yields no difference in games.
I experimented with OC and undervolts for both CPU and GPU. Pushing to max and clearing many CMOS values helped. But thereās not much room for improvement in games at 3600x. I opted for undervolts if performance stays the same, aiming to keep temperatures low so fans run quietly. It turned out well.
