Solving Ryzen 3 3100 for CPU speed boost following an overclocking process
Solving Ryzen 3 3100 for CPU speed boost following an overclocking process
Hey there,
I just tried running the weak Ryzen 3 3100 on X570 I Gaming from Asus at a solid 4400 MHz all core at 1.325 vCore and...4500 MHz all core at 1.35 vCore. That caught my attention. Using only AMD Wraith Prism, no real-world testing, just 6 hours of Ryzen Master built-in test.
Anyway, I’d really like to optimize this machine but it keeps getting hot—always burning up at 56-60°C when idle and reaching up to 70°C under load. How can I get AMD to perform better than Intel with EiST?
How do I tweak the Ryzen so it downgrades under light workloads and when idle?
Best,

If you adjust it to Ryzen balanced it could slow down at idle. I don’t expect too much concern about it.
Regarding the voltage and clock speed, I wouldn’t be too worried either. I haven’t experienced a CPU failing from excessive voltage, even with old 2600k CPUs running above 5ghz under high voltage conditions. Staying cool is still key.
It’s difficult to predict if this will noticeably shorten the CPU’s lifespan.
I’ve also seen similar results with my R5 3600, reaching close to 1.35v and around 1.325 at 4.4ghz.
Ryzen processors behave differently compared to Intel. When thinking about pushing them to 4.5Ghz at 1.35V, it reminds me of Dr. Tyrell's comfort for Roy Batty, rephrased: "The light that burns twice as bright lasts only half as long, and your processor shines so intensely." Have fun while you can!

So you're asking if 70°C is too high for the silicone part? What are the ideal temperatures? I usually handle Intel components at up to 70°C in water and around 74–76°C in air, which is my safe range. Thanks for your feedback!
Up to 80-85°C is acceptable and won't endanger your CPU.
Idle temperatures are less important; focus on load temperatures.
So... I think I'll be okay. Anyway, I came back to the X570 just for some fun. I wanted to check how the new CPU would perform. This one is really impressive. With an NVMe PCi-e 4.0 SSD and 64 gigabytes of RAM, the performance in an OS is excellent. It runs faster than the 10900K with 64 gigabytes of RAM and an NVMe PCi-e 4.0 SSD [when running at PCi-e 3.0].
