What is the maximum voltage for the ASUS Prime B450M-A/CSM motherboard and CPU?
the asus prime b450m-a/csm motherboard and cpu have a maximum voltage limit of 1.48v. the situation you described involves an overclocked ryzen 7 1700x at 3.9ghz, with the bios not allowing manual voltage adjustment beyond ram settings. the corsair h100i v2 aio cooler is used to manage temperatures. the ram is also overclocked to 3250mhz.
It seems high, but it's impressive how everything is working well. Also, I checked the specifications for maximum voltage, and they mention 1.55V. If everything is running smoothly, I should be fine. What are your thoughts?
When using Ryzen, it's recommended to run a balanced power plan and Ryzen Master. The value 1.48 is quite high for the CPU. It's likely that the voltage option isn't visible because it's automatically set. Motherboards don't have a fixed voltage limit; instead, the CPU controls the limits. The safe maximum voltage for Ryzen systems is 1.45 volts, and the maximum SOC is 1.2 volts. Even with overclocking, it should not approach the CPU's 1.5V threshold to avoid damage.
I'm using a high-performance setup, not the balanced power plan, since I've overclocked and the BIOS doesn't let me manually adjust the voltage. It's pretty strange.
i lowered the cpu speed to 3850mhz, and the voltage stabilized around 1.39v to 1.40v. then i changed the power plan to ryan zened balanced mode.
