Hello ! I'm sure this has been asked before and I'm sorry to open a thread for this but couldn't find a similar question. I have an MSI B350 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600 (non X) running at 1.425V with a Maelstrom 240T watercooling AIO solution. The temperatures are under 30 degress Celsius IDLE and around 60 degrees Celsius on full load (gaming/benchmarks/etc). If I use some real stress (artificial if you ask me) Prime95 or similar it will go towards 68-69 degrees maybe 70 if the fan profile is a bit low. My simple question is since the CPU voltage is the only voltage that I've manually changed to 1.425V is it too much to handle for this CPU even if the thermals are OK ? Should I be concerned to run it 24/7 @ 1.425 ? At 1.4 or 1.4125 I have problems with stability.... Thank you !
Not sure if I can oc it with PBO ? I have MSI B350 PRO VD PLUS ... will have to check also the CPU is non X model ... Don't think my bios has all these functions. Where can I see VRM temp ? In hwinfo64 ? Will check and see ... L.E. I found C6 and P STATE 0 1 2 in bios I enabled Cool n Quiet and also the C states and P state 0 ... I overcloked P STATE 0 and it downclocks in windows to 1.4 GHz and goes up to 4.15 GHz during load but the voltage stays the same 1.4 or how I set 1.425 ... Hwinfo64 and CPU-Z say the voltage is 1.4 or 1.425 it doesnt get any lower even CPU goes to 1.5 GHz https://i.**********/Z0RNc3hM/1.png https://i.**********/34wktMzv/IMG-0289.jpg I also tried Auto for CPU voltage but it fails to boot ... at 4GHz it auto applies 1.425 and above it fails to boot.
I've read on the internet that MSI B350 won't change voltage when manual oc "because of stability" and it only lowers clocks if cool n quiet is enabled. I have another board Asrock AB350 PRO4 and that works ! Will make the switch from another computer and test it out. These are the boards: https://i.**********/Jt74q2pM/asrock.png https://i.**********/6TH61fPR/msi.png MSI B350 PRO VD PLUS and ASROCK AB350 PRO4 How many phases each has ? Which do you guys think is better ?
