3700x question

[Griff7520]

Hi

I am currently running the rig in my sig.
On stock settings my cpu goes upto 1.5v and mid to high 50's during gaming which I think is rather high for a cpu being cooled with a ekwb custom loop with a 360 rad.

I can run this cpu at 4.3oc on all cores at a voltage of 1.325v with offset at turbo setting so goes up to 1.35 under load and the cpu is mid to high 40's during gaming.

I have read that a ot of people say it is no point manually overclocking the 3700x as the gains are not massive etc etc

My question is is it ok to run my cpu with the manual oc for everyday use or am i harming it by having a manual voltage of 1.325 all the time or is there a better option with my set up

The temps in the dynamic case are not brilliant and my gtx1080ti was getting upto 84c during gaming and I have been trying different configs with the raditor and fans to see if I can get better temps and I am now with a top mounted rad with fans dragging air out of the case through the rad and 3 side fans and 2 bottom fans as intake, this as helped the gtx as i am at 75c during gamingnow so much better.

Any views or ideas would be most appreciated

thanks guys, I know that it is behaving normally at stock but the pc is much cooler when using the manual oc but was wanting to know if it is ok to run it at manual oc for everyday use or would it have any downside to the cpu by doing so as in will it shorten the life etc etc

In other words..are you guys running at stock or are you overclocking it manually

here is stock settings on ryzen performance power plan. It has never hit the 4.4 speed but everything looks ok

here is mine at 4.3ghz...look very similar ukdtweak

here is mine at 4.3Ghz with cheap 2400 ram overclocked to 2933 cl14

my voltage wont drop below 1.3...what settings have you got to get yours to drop 0.4 at idle...may be something i need to change in my bios

If you have everything setup correctly, then try exiting any software you have running, for instance my Thermaltake TT Plus software stops my voltage from dropping, I guess its polling to often, if I exit the program, which is a start up program, my voltage drops as recommended, however, im manual overclocking now, with a hard set voltage so it doesnt anymore, but thats what used to stop it droping.

mine is manually set voltage so maybe thats the answer....just didnt know how z10m has done it if he has a set voltage which I assume he must have to get 4.3 oc
