I own 3DMark, no problem. Reached 3.9 at 1.35v. Firestrike is just beginning. Will try prime95 later. I haven’t pushed the limits that much to break it (except for 1.38v which is above the limit). Even though I see the tier list, 1.4v still seems a bit high—I hope it isn’t a joke, but I’ve never gone that high before. Just walking into BIOS and getting it to 1.38v felt risky.
Checking performance on Prime95's Small FTT test shows stability issues. It halts after about 30 seconds before closing. Updated December 19, 2020 by MultiGamerClub
Seems like this chip isn't performing as well as expected. I can't even run prime95 small fast on 3.9 or 1.35v. Tried 1.4v but it wouldn't boot. Probably better to stick with 3.8 or get a 3600 later. Think the B350-F board doesn't support the latest Ryzen models.
3600 provides insufficient energy to be meaningful. It's similar to hitting a child—doesn't show strength.
It quickly took a dark turn. The setup ran smoothly at 3.7ghz and 1.4v, but small FTTs failed. It crashes on Firestrike (my stock 2080 Super Triple Fan). At 3.9ghz and 1.4v it works, though it closes instantly in Prime. Same with 1.35v, it lasted about nine minutes before shutting down in Prime. Both tests ended abruptly. Probably not a lucky guess. Still curious to try 3.9 or tweak the voltage if that’s the main issue. Anyway, doubt it :Ø
