Ryzen 2700x Cinebench Scores. Normal?

Beren · 23 Mar 2019 at 09:36

That is nice work with a really decent real world boost. Looks like I might be trying to cobvince the wife that I need an x570 board as well as a 3000 series chip...

RyzenJunkie · 23 Mar 2019 at 10:47

Yeah a decent increase. Happy

Congrats.

Now you see what I meant. Most people seem more determined to all core OC but I really can’t see the point.

Yeah, cheers for that

You’re welcome.

Took me weeks of trial and error to come to that conclusion so glad you don’t need to.

RyzenJunkie · 23 Mar 2019 at 18:52

Little more tinkering and getting this now..

HRL · 23 Mar 2019 at 21:44

What’s that, about 102.5?

RyzenJunkie · 24 Mar 2019 at 10:08

102.5 yeah. 103 won't boot for me

You guys are doing well. I only get 1730 on MC and about 173 on SC at stock fsb. That's with 3000mhz RAM though. Tried 101 fsb and most of my USB ports crapped out, so yeah the MSI gaming Pro turned out to be a less than ideal board. No offset voltage either!

Surprised TBH. I’ve got the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming and I heard that was a poor overclocker. Took me ages to get the RAM stable, and XMP was a no go.

After a BIOS update I now have vcore offset on the cpu, but it looks like my chip is just pants. For some reason after the BIOS update I now only all core boost to 3.9 instead of 4ghz, my temps went up (or are being reported differently), and my VID went down. Weird.

Definitely got XFR and PBO enabled?

I don't know where the xfr setting is, but pbo is on auto.

Sadly I’m not familiar with your mobo BIOS but certainly on mine there is an XFR Enhancement that I set to Enabled, as well as PBO in a separate BIOS menu that I also set to Enabled.

Pretty sure you need both manually set to enabled.

Cheers, I'll try pbo enabled instead of auto, and will check to see if the core performance boost setting is xfr in disguise

Be careful with changing pbo from auto to enabled. Vcore shoots way past normal safe thresholds on my system... It could do with further settings for how aggressive you want it to boost before I'd even consider using it.

Yeah I got the impression "on" loads the mobos settings which are going to vary wildly. There is a scaler setting that allows me to adjust how aggressive the voltage ramps and for how long. I was thinking of cranking that up and whacking on a big negative vcore offset

I believe setting it to enabled just means go to whatever the VRMs can handle and forget everything else. I was seeing 1.5+ vcore for the duration of a cinebench run... Not ideal for cpu longevity.

Been tinkering a bit more and got the following result. Slightly lower MC but higher SC and id prefer that. Memory is 3466hz 14/14/14/28. Temps are in the mid 60s on MC and mid 40s on SC. CPU is between 4.35 and 4.4ghz at that using XFR and PBO and BCLK 102

Cant get it to boot at BCLK 103 so thats my lot lol

HRL · 27 Mar 2019 at 18:14

Still pretty impressive gains.

I gave up at 1956MC/190SC I think. That was BCLK 103.5.

Eventually dialled it down to 103 but much prefer that over an all core OC. Doesn’t get so hot for one thing as it still down clocks when not needed.

I’d be happy with what you’ve got.

Its actually been freezing like hell today on and off. Not sure if its this or the vega 64 as others seem to be having issues with the new drivers.

What ram speed and timings were you running to get them cinebench scores?
