Underclocking the Ryzen 5 2400G during high demand can help maintain stability and performance.
Underclocking the Ryzen 5 2400G during high demand can help maintain stability and performance.
It's generally close enough—3.55 GHz and 3.6 GHz are similar. The AMD specs mention a 95°C limit for the R5 2400G, so it seems thermal throttling isn't happening much. If the 50 MHz drop is due to heat, it probably won't be drastic. What cooling solution are you using? If you're using the original model, consider upgrading for better performance. Other Ryzen users might have useful insights.
Thanks for the feedback. You're considering switching to a higher-capacity cooler, though you're aware the difference between 3.55 and 3.60 isn't significant. It seems the drop from 3.60 to 3.55 happens quickly, which might point to power throttling rather than thermal limits. I'm not very familiar with wattage or power needs, so I'd appreciate clarification on that.
I think it's within a margin of error, hard to say as all CPU's will act a little different (silicon differences). They all aren't perfect/run exactly the same. I don't think you'd get any real world performance difference. You could always talk to AMD about if its under warranty and see what they think as well.
