Asus strix b450-f overclocking? 3600x

[mr griffin]

Hello, can anyone help me out with bios overclocking on this board.

At auto it's pushing far too many volts through the board to cpu at standard 1.44v and boosting to 4.4MHz

I did install ryzen master and the cpu will run all 4 cores @4.4MHz at 1.25v easily and 4.6MHz at 1.325v

Im happy to just set it to 4.2 with 1.25v for my kid 24/7 doesn't need to go faster.

However when I gobinto the bios and turn everything to manual I see no way of changing the cpu voltage to 1.25v even on manual you can't type it in.

Anyone else here got this board and a 3600x that can give me a quick guide to just get this set at 4.4MHz on all cores

I'm specifically looking for reports where the voltage is stuck at a particular value, or a small range of values, around 1.4V--no matter how long you sit there and watch it. It is perfectly okay if your CPU is periodically using 1.4-1.5V to achieve boost frequencies, and you should see dips into sub-1.0V as the CPU goes into idle. These dips may be brief, and that's okay. Load voltages of around 1.2-1.3V are perfectly okay also. This is the processor working as expected. Ryzen is a highly dynamic system, with up to 1000 voltage and clockspeed changes every second. You will see a lot of bouncing around as you work with your system.

I anticipate that many people are now trying Ryzen processors for the first time (because they're awesome), and may not understand what to expect versus whatever CPU they had previously. You want to know if what you're seeing is "normal," but may not know what "normal" looks like. I get it! I want to assure you that the CPU needs voltages to boost, and voltages of 1.2-1.5V are perfectly ordinary for Ryzen under load conditions (games, apps, whatever). Even at the desktop, Windows background tasks need love too! You'll see the CPU reach boost clocks and voltages, too. But if your voltage is well and truly stuck, that's what I'm trying to troubleshoot.

Thanks for the heads up, but I would still like to clock it to 4.4MHz @1.25v

On the motherboard it has option for manual cpu volts, but you can't key it in?
Underneath is manual voltage override, is that where you change it to desired voltage?

I'm used to intel boards where on manual voltage you just key it in there, not had amd since the old opteron 170 days
