Hello, I'm checking if my overclocking setup is reliable. I'm seeing 4.375 GHz with a 1.35V core voltage. However, the system reports 1.1 in hwinfo and Ryzen Master during rendering, which looks normal after a while. Is this a safe Vcore setting? Thanks for your help!
Only a r20 run came before I added the overclock, following a cold restart. I jumped from around 7k points to over 10k after the change. I shared a screenshot in that discussion with the updated score.
Run the single-threaded test, then re-enable it and repeat. You'll see its performance actually declines. Forcing an all-core overclock on Zen 2 limits its boost potential compared to individual cores. It could assist in certain cases, but often it slows things down overall.
I understand single thread performs better by default, but the vcore is significantly higher (1.46v-1.5v at 4.68 GHz). As a beginner I’m okay with this voltage, though it might not be safe long-term. I’ll opt for all-core overclocking to reduce render times since my single-threaded boost was only 3.9 GHz and a 10-point increase isn’t much of a gain in single thread. Plus, games are getting more multi-threaded. CPU cooling is fine. I have two quad 120mm fans in push, a dual D5 pump, and a velocity CPU block inside a 1000D case. I’ll also try the new Ryzen tool announced yesterday.
