Undervolting VS PPT?
Undervolting VS PPT?
x I might give it a shot, even though my approach was more about adjusting PBO rather than boosting automatically. It seems I’m stuck because the only improvement comes from a negative voltage offset, which probably just reduces temperatures a bit. Fwiw, I tried setting the multiplier to 42 with auto voltage, but the system didn’t boot into Windows. Maybe I need to adjust the voltage manually instead.
I started with a 3600XT CPU during a sale, as Zen 3 wasn't available. It was fine; I didn’t use PBO much. I just checked all-core clocks like 4400 at 1.26875v or 4500 at 1.3375v. I only ran it for a couple of months or so. The 1.3375v setting was a bit high for all cores under load, maybe too risky for p95 at that voltage.
I attempted 4.1ghz with 1.35v, but it still didn’t boot. It’s hard to say if the voltage is too high or too low since it normally needs about 1.44v at that speed. I just saw a guide recommending setting the LLC to “3 or 4,” so maybe adjusting that could help.
They're quite varied in their performance, with some really impressive and others less so. You'd need to experiment with them.
I recall a similar problem with a 2200g unit—it wouldn't boot or function properly until I adjusted the LLC settings to 1 or 2. Once that was done, I applied a full core boost and reached around 3.9ghz, which is quite achievable given the situation. I also increased the IGPU speed by about 300mhz, which was fine too. Ultimately, everything worked out once I resolved the issue. I think I followed a tutorial that was quite similar, though I'm not entirely confident about the BIOS or motherboard specifics. Great job on getting through that failed save with our ridiculous fake-save feature! LOL. I guess I might consider a slight undervoltage adjustment next time and be more satisfied.
