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

I guess gaming the GPU should be at 100%, though I see yours is fixed to 60fps? What res is that? Depends how many cores the game will use so if that game isn't multi core optimized maybe it will be using low CPU utilization thus temps.

I got that game with my CPU but kept crashing for me. You paying that through microsoft game pass or you have that game already?

Soz for Q's but yeah, really pleased with my 3800X too.

LOL not sure which launcher, I have the game on both EPIC and Steam I think but it has not crashed,I will try it on game pass and see if it crashes.
Anyway I play all my games on 4K Freesync 60Hz screen but I like Ultrawide so that was recorded 3840x1440 32:9 in windowed mode.

BF5 still same voltage and low 50's,seems about the same GPU Temp higher than CPU.This is the way all my Ryzen CPU's have always worked.They can be set ,to your personal choice and I have no fear of running with low voltages or high and that last bit is not directed at anyone in particular.I think people are trying to wrap the head around the new AMD CPU and just do not understand how they work.

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.

Which is not the BIOS it’s part of it? So the notion the OP doesn’t care the voltage is out of spec because it’s ‘AMD’ controlled is utter dillusion.

Thanks for the replies.


Amazing how people know everything on the internet lol.

Equally amazing how you gloss over the voltage hitting high numbers, if you kill that good luck with the warranty. I think people are generally very clear on how they work as it’s probably the most talked about chip in a long time from a boost perspective...

I am not going to argue with you.

That's what I said. It's part of it. You said AMD doesn't make the BIOS, well it makes a major part of it of which the BIOS wouldn't exist without it. Particularly as CPU's these days have more from what was on the board historically are in the CPU itself. TAke threadrippers - they have now everything on the CPU. Memory controllers, Northbridge, southbridge, Ryzen 3000 has a fair bit too.

It is well documented that many 3rd party monitoring tools do not measure items properly yet. The BIOS's are still immature. The next BIOS actually adds more functionality along with performance which arguably maybe should have been th BIOS's available on release. We know it was rushed out and the board vendors didn't get AGESA's until very late in relation to the launch.

What Ryzen 2 you got?

If people want to know a little bit more about how Ryzen voltages work then the community update 5 pdf details this quite well, it's worth a read to help understand the behaviour of the chips in respect to voltages. It can be found here;

With regards to AGESA/SMU updates from AMD, I believe they aren't that easy to read as they come in HEX code and no annotations on which bit of code does what. That in itself makes it difficult for AIB bios teams to make sure they aren't messing something up when they try to adapt it for their own UI/settings etc.

You’re talking many months later, unless you use an old version of monitoring on purpose it’s unlikely it’s fair out measuring voltage. Regardless of all of this the bit that AMD write is not controlling the settings which put the volts in, you’re arguing with something which I’m not even talking about - voltage looks way too high, that is all

I own a 3800X if you were hoping to jump on some intel hate wagon - I also owned a 1800X so sorry to disappoint.

Oh Lordy, you wanna try getting out the bottom of the bed.
