What methods are used to increase the performance of a Ryzen processor?
so i own a r5 3500, 3.6gHz base, 4.1gHz boost (1.4v reported), 4.0gHz allcore boost (1.31v reported)
2400-ish multi R20, 450-ish single R20
other specs:
b450-a pro max
gskill sniperx 2x8gb 3600mhz c19
now i'm doing a small manual overclocking on the bios,
4.5gHz allcore 1.3v, stable p95 (smallest fft)
i need around ~2900 multi R20 (5x run), and ~510 single R20 (2x run)
what i'm asking for is
how to adjust the voltage fluctuations based on usage
since this override voltage remains at 1.3v regardless of load
🙁
[i have some experience with ryzen overclocking]
for example, i want low usage (10%) only using 0.5-0.7v, full load (100%) use 1.3v
my previous build was an i5 4670k 4.5ghz 1.25v
that multiplier stays 45x while the voltage fluctuates but maxed out at 1.25v (c3 state enabled)
can i achieve this with ryzen?
Best approach: avoid this. The CPU adjusts itself more effectively than expected.
Works well with Intel CPUs aren't optimal here.
Consider adding a high-quality cooler, use dual-channel 3600MHz CL16/17, and that should suffice.
Just enable the PBO in BIOS and let the CPU decide. What adjustments need to be made at the PBO? I plan to tighten the C19 to C16, and I have a B-die (the burner read says that). Also, I have a great H110i GT cooler.
I find it funny reading the instructions for little manual overclocking... setting it to 4.5GHz all cores on a CPU built for 4.1GHz maximum turbo, only one core. It might seem minor to others, but it’s not insignificant to me.
Phazee88 often suggests keeping Ryzen 3 models unchanged unless necessary. I’m unsure what makes this process seem stable, especially since running prime95 small FFT for 20–30 minutes isn’t a strong proof.
B450 mobos aren’t ideal for fine-tuning, at least not in the lower to mid range. It’s doubtful they work well even with high-end models like X470 or X570.
I’d prefer to leave the CPU untouched, but if you really want the boost, I’d recommend a solid cooler (as Phaaze88 mentioned), slightly lowering the OC to 4.4GHz, and maintaining voltage near 1.25 volts or even lower if possible.
Also, keep an eye on temperatures. Tools like hwinfo64 (with sensors only) are excellent for monitoring all metrics in one place and tracking Max, Min, and Avg values.
Hahaha
😉
The gain is quite noticeable. How should I configure the PBO settings or use all auto settings on the CPU core?
I think I’ll set the memory at 3600 C16/17.
I’m just trying to see what I can do with 3500, probably won’t be doing daily overclocking.
My gaming experience hasn’t improved from my 4670k 4.5Ghz, but at least I know CPU usage isn’t at 100% anymore—that’s a positive sign.
I’m using HWinfo64 to keep track of everything, and I never reach 65°C even with CB R20 (29°C ambient).
okay
thanks guys for all the answer
now im just continue exploring the oc capability (not gonna daily it!)
