The Ryzen 5 3600 Discussion Thread

Not sure where to post this one, but I'm experiencing a weird problem with my build...

I'm currently tinkering with vcore offset voltages in bios so that I can leave Ryzen Master behind and go Linux 24/7, but ever so often the voltage I set doesn't stick upon the next boot. The computer do boot and everything looks ok, but when I start up HWiNFO or any other tool to measure the voltages (same happens i OCCT) the voltages - current, min, max & average is stuck at the 1.09V (or is it 1.08 - don't have it in front of me now) that seems to be the "base" Voltage of the CPU.

One might think that we're talking about a reporting error, but when this happens & I do this with 4.2-4.3ghz (for example) and start up Cinebench the computer does not like the Voltage I feed the CPU at all and crashes either Cinebench or the whole computer (something that doesn't happen when HWiNFO reports my desired offset). When this happens I reboot the computer, go in and set the voltages once again, save and exit. I boot the computer, start up HWiNFO and check the values just to make sure the offset "stuck". I've also tried saving the settings in one of the available slots in BIOS, after which I load them, verify that it looks ok and still don't get the desired effect after booting.

My first thought was that maybe I have stability problems from the speed/voltages set, but wouldn't the computer just refuse to boot then? And why would it be that I can boot the desired profile 3 times, but if I swap into another profile and then switch back it suddenly won't accept the offset voltage? Also - once I actually get everything up an running to my liking I can run for days (stress testing or not) without problems - at the voltage I've chosen.

(The voltages I add are nothing excessive - I'm currently running @4.2 GHz with an +0,120V offset and 4.3GHz with a 1+0,144V offset respectively and my computer - once "accepting" the input there's not the slightest hint of any problems whatsoever)

So - where do I start looking for an answer? Should I perhaps try to "re-flash" my current BIOS version (if it's even possible to flash the same version again)? Or is it my CPU giving me grief? Another one I've been thinking about is my PSU since I have one of the PSU's that Corsair are calling back because of problems (haven't gotten around to processing my change yet) but could that really cause the MB not to "accept" voltage offsets that I set?

(My Motherboard is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H)
 
I have no idea what im doing yet all ive done is change ram to 3600 and flk 1800 and set frequency to 4.3ghz other than that not touched a thing and seems fine

I've a double whammy going on just moved to windows 10 from 7 and ryzen lots to wrap my head around

these chips seem proper toasty though mine goes straight to 69c doing anything cpu workload wise

hwinfo says im at 4.3 ryzen master says im on speed step and only hitting 4.3 under load let the confusion begin
 
First of all... I believe I've solved my problems a couple of posts ago. After some more testing I decided to unplug my 3 external usb drives I have connected (a temporary thing as I'm reorganizing my data), and now the problems are gone. So I guess the PSU might actually be the culprit.

Ryzen Master is the only thing that reads voltages and core speeds correctly from what i've found.

I can never get Ryzen Master to give me the correct voltages when I set my values in Bios. The below shot is of me running Cinebench with an +0.186 Offset which should return a max of 1.28-1.29-something (1.1 + 0.186, right?) but it really doesn't matter what I set, it always stays at 1.09-1.1v in Ryzen Master:

Edit: Temps are a bit high in this screenshot, but my ambient temps inside the room is reaching 29 degrees celsius (Catalunya, Spain is getting hotter by the day now) and my voltages aren't exactly fine tuned yet...

Weird, maybe its a motherboard thing as it shows the correct voltages on my ASRock B450M Pro4
 
Okay, I am probably doing this very very wrong, but....

If in ryzen master i set OC to manual.
Set voltage peak to 1.25, and then set all cores to max 4400
Leave all memory to auto (8pack 3600 @ c14)

I run cinebench while watching ryzenmaster values.
Temp doesn't go over 65degrees.
Cinebench returns a score of 3872
and during the run each core is reporting a max speed of 4399 in ryzen master.

my question is, are the values being reported by ryzen master accurate?
if it says cores are all peaking at 4399, are they?
obviously i'll have stability tests to run later, but is the rest of this accurate?

Try the same test but with 1.3v and see if scores go up as it does seem low for 4.4 all core.

I was thinking the same... the score does seem a bit low for that speed.

I managed to squeeze 3974 points out of my CPU @4400MHz with an +0186 offset in bios (don't remember the exact number, but HWiNFO shows about 1.26-1.27V max voltage) and that's with 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 2666MHz...
