AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***
- Thread starter Jamin280672
- Start date
This had me confused too as some say vddg should be at 0.1v below SOC voltage and others say 40mv below is as close as it should go. Contradicts all the Ryzen documents though.
I can't get 1866 IF speed either, not tried 1833 though.

Hmm Intel actual getting competitive. Roll on TR3.
Oh dear. TR3 would be on it's own in HEDT platform.
Those could be possibly beaten by the 3900X and completely ridiculed by the 3950X. Doubt even the 10940XE would be able to beat the 3900X in multicore applications.
Let alone the amount of heat they would generate, which seems would be 250W+ for all but the 10900XE.

Mine doesn't like 1.1 also atm, but is unstable with the ram at 1.0 or 1.07. Running 1.08 seems fine apparently
Soldato
Now that I'm on latest ASUS BIOS and AMD chipset driver, my 3700x is performing stunning style, with RAM sitting solid at 3600 C16.
I moaned enough when it wasn't working as expected, so only fair to report back when it's all good.
No purchase regrets any more, but I'll definitely hold off in future rather than buy on release.

This is not competition, its dumping. Nothing about new cpus makes them cheaper to manufacture than previous generation.
I love how they advertise "improving performance per dollar 2x". Like it any engineering feat happened. Nope. Performance stays same, price is cut 2x. Still making profit, which shows how overpriced the previous gen was.
Soldato
Which mobo do you have? Nothing for me. (X370 GAMING PRO CARBON).
Soldato
What do you mean 'didn't like'?
Touch wood so far I haven't had any instability yet.
Soldato
Booted regular game (Insurgency Sandstorm) it was in the menus OK but when the game loaded the map, full crash and it wouldn't boot windows again, had to wait for the boot cycles (3) before it would load default BIOS.
'Could' have been something else but that was the first game played since changing to 1.1V VDDG. Put it back to 1.0 and played all eve fine. But that crash was black screen to POST.
Soldato
Hmm. That sounds odd. Sure if the only change you made was bumping VDDG to 1.1v from 1v but for the case of 0.1v I cant see how that was the problem.
I'm experience no such issues so far.
Soldato
I guess if Panos sees instability with only .01V then I guess 0.1V is actually significant amount, change wise. Mine really didnt like it at all. I did change it in RM also and not the BIOS. Maybe that was it.
Soldato
Yes all my changes are in the BIOS.
You're making me think I should lower mine out of the red and in to the yellow zone. (1.075mv)
Soldato
My level of knowledge is exhausted to know any more, first time I've had to fettle the RAM on a system to get it stable, and it's rated for 3600Mhz, same RAM as yours. Learnt a fair bit but still no expert to be confident enough to be able to fully understand the relationship between some of these voltages. Maybe BIOS voltage only changes colours when it gets close to SOC and that's what the colour change represents? What happens to the colour of VDDG if you increase the SOC (without actually booting with higher values of course).
And 3600/3700X are not enough for that SFF?
X370 Gaming Plus. It's dated the first of this month and only in the boards bios page (not the big page of beta bioses for all boards)
