Max Safe SOC for 3700x?

[opethdisciple]

It seems I might now be able to achieve an FCLK of 1900 if I raise the SOC voltage. At the moment I went and applied 1.2v as apparently that's the max Safe voltage for the SOC.

What do you say? How high can I go on the SOC? I read that SOC voltage impacts PCI-e 4 so need to factor that in for future compatibility.

a lot of the internet is saying they are using 1.2v and a Corsair overclocking guide for the 3000 series says 1.2v is the upper limit for safe.

I'll wait for someone that has more experience to chime in.

I keep losing the mouse so maybe 1.2v soc is too much.

I applied the vddg and vddp voltages from the dram calc and that improved my write speed.

I can find it of articles saying 1.2v is safe for the SOC.

if its at 1.1 do you lose the mouse?

Nope

i wouldn't want to go higher than 1.1v for daily usage (imo)
personally using 1.05v

At 1.1v it seems I am limited to 1800 FCLK. With 1.2v I am able to run 1900 and even stability test.

This is just one of loads of articles I can find that say 1.2v is fine.

1.2v may be fine for most people but you've clearly lost the silicon lottery if you need to drop to 1.1v to stop your mouse playing up.

Well I don't know yet. Too many variables. Only had a few hours yesterday to play with it. But at 1900 FCLK at 1.2v it seemed stable but I was occasionally losing mouse and keyboard.

Dropping to 3733MHz was better. But the SOC v (which I'm still playing with) was over 1.15v.
