Static ryzen overclocks
Hello, your setup includes a 3950 processor paired with a Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme, running at 4.3GHz with 1.35V and 1867 infinity fabric. You're curious about BIOS adjustments to reduce idle CPU temperature, wondering if there are settings that lower power consumption compared to full overclocking.
I never considered extra warmth a drawback since it’s always been included in overclocking. You might experiment with QuickCpu and tweak window power settings yourself. Core parking and similar features are handy tools that could assist you along the way.
It's accurate, though it doesn't matter much because I'm running on a custom setup. My previous CPU, an i5 4670K (Haswell), only needed the maximum voltage when it was fully loaded, and it reduced as the workload lessened.
Speed step is a distinct being. Adjusting it manually turns off most of the green indicators in BIOS. If you see options for enabled states in c-states or power settings, give it a try. The SenseMi feature is turned off to let the user have more control, which aligns with how AMD typically works. I favor keeping the voltage fixed as set, making it simpler to monitor changes and fine-tune the LLC.
