Hi Everyone,
I haven't overclocked since I had a Q8200. My FX-8350 under a TX-3 was super cool but I knew I had no real headroom without major power draw. Now I've got a Ryzen 2700 under a Deepcool Captain 240EX watercooler in an ASRock x370 Pro4 ATX. My main goal is to have higher sustained all core turbo as I do a lot of photography editing and Adobe Lightroom uses 100% frequently.
4ghz 1.3V wasn't prime95 stable out of the gate. CPUz showed that my Vcore went from 1.298 to 1.225 under load, which I think is a huge amount of drop. Temps hit about 63F, locked up after a few minutes. I can game on it just fine but prime mixed just kills it.
3.9Ghz 1.3V seems to be stable. Vcore drops to 1.25 or so under full stress test, which still seems high. Temps stop at 61 but I don't heat the fans on the watercooler radiator spin higher at all. EDIT: Temps jumped to 74 doing a full Cinebench 20 multicore run. It scored 3784. Should I drop it to 3.8 or lower at that voltage?
Should I be shooting for 3.8 @ 1.25V or something like that?
Thanks in advance.
