Got my 3800X boost to 4650Mhz in light gaming loads

So sold off my 3600X CPU'S and grabbed a cheap 3800X from buy and sell.Seems to work very good or normal,not sure about the 3800X yet,it's only been a few days with it.

So basically light load gaming up to 4650Mhz
Heavy gaming loads like BF5 can do up to 4475Mhz -4500Mhz all cores

I can say gaming is the same between 3600X vs 3800X no difference.

To anyone worried about the CPU voltage,it is OK.It is running off AMD settings and it has a 3 year warranty.I can also run it at lower voltage if I want to.

That is an interesting game bench you've used there. I see the CPU and GPU are no where near full load but you get all cores to boost upto 4.650. Wonder if all the review sites should have used this to show maximum boost. You identified it as light gaming which looking at the CPU & GPU utilization it really is a light game.
 
Minimum voltage of 1.44v, maximum of 1.581v and 85c.

"AMD settings"? I'd not give that CPU long before it starts to degrade.

I notice your VDDG is just shy of 1.1v. Is that an auto voltage or have you manually set it to that?

Well the voltage is higher than normal for me.I run the memory controller clock (uclk), and the infinity fabric clock (fclk) 1900Mhz with voltage below.

Now I know you must know for sure how the AMD CPU's work but here a screen I did today.

Look closer,1.581v.

Just to be clear ,light gaming will be any game or application like Cinebench20 single where you can get the boost clock running high clocks. Not all cores will be on at once.
 
Oh OK, though I wont get all core scores as you did running single core in cinebench20. I can get mine to do 4.6 + on 5/8 cores. Just yours shows exactly the same max clock speed across all cores. Never seen mine all equal at maximum. There should be some cores faster than others. Now I do have to ask why in your original post, some cores average are missing?
 
Just taking a screenshot ,for average missing,I would say HWinfo64 updating along with Nvidia Gforce Experience on desktop taking screens,I guess I could take 10 screenshots and get everything.Post seven shows everything,hey 1 out of 2 that is a good average.
Yeah the actual screenshot HWinfo64 was running for 30 Minutes ,so I do not know how they all got to 4650Mhz but I am sure it was a couple at a time.
 
I can leave mine for hours and in HWinfo has different clocks for each core, min, average and max. You leave Ryzen on stock or tweaked in there?
 
Well The Ryzen Master screen was just to show DDR4 timings and voltage,I actually do not use it.If you look at the Ryzen Master Screenshot,it show all the information on how the motherboard was in the set.
So Auto Overclocking with PBO Override set to 300Mhz at a peak voltage of 1.45125 and average is lower.
DDR4 set 1.36v @ 1900fclk/uclk anyway found a screenshot with all averages shown

I did not make the CPU or BIOS,I am fine with how it works,who is to say the 3rd party monitor tool is actually working correctly.
If people worry about there CPU's like that ,well that is just crazy.It is only a replaceable CPU.Which has no meaning,value to me.I am just showing how it is should work and I did the same with 2600X/3600X/3800X and soon 3900X.

If you want to run it at that voltage then that's fine it's your CPU, but just because the motherboard is set to allow it to supply the CPU with that much voltage doesn't mean it is ok. I will agree the reading on the software could be incorrect but it could work both ways it might be exaggerating the voltage or equally under estimating too.

A CPU may have no value to you but for me personally mine has a £320 value which I wouldn't personally want to increase the risk of it needing to be RMA'd with a potential for it to be refused on the grounds its been killed by excess voltage
 
I do not disagree with you ,everyone has different opinions,was it not last month with a big dustup with AMD not having CPU's boosted to what is written on the box.I have not had a problem with 3 different Ryzen 3 CPU's boosting on this motherboard,even past what is written on the box.

How about these voltages on Prime95 29.8 Build 6 with AVX smallest FFT's,which voltage do you think the real CPU voltage.I am serious ,can you tell me please.
 
Honest answer, without a multi meter and physically checking yourself they both could be wrong.

Personally I err on the side of caution and would take the voltage reading from AMD's own Ryzen master as the closest, but you'd hope it was actually the reading from HWInfo as that's a much safer voltage for all core load such as Prime AVX.

AMD didn’t make the bios either mate so you might want to look at that before it’s too late.

The boost isn’t all cores it’s a single core at a time so this is all fairy irrelevant.

AMD make the AGESA which is required as part of the BIOS. YOu cant make a BIOS for AM4 without the AGESA supplied by AMD.

All I can say these AMD Ryzen 3 CPU's are great.So I was testing some on screen displays this morning I done up in AIDA64 and MSI Afterburner.
Had my CPU voltage setting around 1.3v or something in BIOS,now I got a problem my CPU is cooler than my GPU.I know that must be bad also.Crap I can not win.
