I stand corrected. Negative 30 and its now 83c under a prime95 load. max was 1.296v

PC wont post. EDIT Cpu stuck at base clocks

So you used Curve Optimiser and it worked? Is it only an AMD thing?I stand corrected. Negative 30 and its now 83c under a prime95 load. max was 1.296v
Curve optimiser is only on AMD.
Thanks. Is there an Intel equivalent? I was thinking of undervolting my W3580 when I give that PC to my son,as it does get toasty in the summer.

Tested on my other board and the chip boosts with the voltage lowered. Now ive no idea. Unless its a gigbyte thing?
Cheers for the tips mate. I appreciate your help
Your other board what make is it?, i would say its a outdated bios on the gigabyte board, have a friend that had a similar issue on am4 and once the board was updated the cpu was working correctly and running cooler. completley forgot about curve optimiser.
I'm not to sure tbh with you mate. Hopefully someone here can chime in. I just used to lower the voltage manually on intel cpus until it became unstable then added voltage accordingly.

The other board is a rog strix b650e f. The gigabyte board is on the latest bios. I've tried 3 other bioses but the same happens. Just a thought... would it be because the 4pin cpu power isn't connected? I've only the 8 pin connected.

you should always use the 8pin eps plug first, connecting the 4pin aux will cause problems when the cpu needs to pull power, may explain why your cpu was stuck at 4.7ghz instead of 5.4ghz boost, not sure the exact power a 4pin cpu power can provide but i would say its around 75w, as the 8pin eps can provide 150w which would allow your cpu to pull more power and get to advatised boost clocks.
Sorry I meant to say the 4 pin isn't connected. Just the 8pin.
Can you clarify exactly what you have tried and what the issue still is?
your new cpu, and your mobo is working as intended when you didn't play with bios settings and boosting correctly?
then you played with bios settings and now no longer boosting correctly?
if so then pebcak.
reset your bios and try again. would suggest using a less aggressive curve optimiser first and not touching other voltages.

Correct. Im starting to think that. Would rather do a manual set voltage.
I can use dynamic v core voltage though. Under prime95 it sits at 81c and 1.278v and boosts to 5.4ghz. Any lower on the dynamic vcore and it crashes. Also have a negative 20 on curve optimiser.

Basically if I set a manual vcore, it wont boost past the base clocks no matter what I try. Even if I set it at 1.4v to test, it does the same thing and wont boost above base clocks. Only the auto setting on vcore voltage will the clocks boost as normal.

I'm confused, is this on your friends cpu that you tried, or on a new replacement cpu?
I've tried both and the same happens mate.
Done all the above bud and the issue remains. I've given up with it tbf unless someone has a different suggestion to try.
