Trying to get accurate Vcore on an R5 1600 ...

[SB118]

Trying to push my R5 1600 to see what it can do (3.8ghz so far) but i'm not sure what voltage i'm pushing into it.

Ryzen Master says 1.40625v, HWinfo64 says the CPU Core (SV12 TFN) is 1.387v-1.394v, CPUID HWmonitor says Vcore is 1.392v (so plenty of droop and i've bought a board without LLC, AB350 Pro4, muppet )

All are the most recent stable versions, which one is right? Am i already passed the "safe" 1.4v line or do i have some more headroom to push on to 3.9ghz? Already passed 5 minutes of HIGH Intel Burn In Test @3.8ghz

Set 1.4v in bios, it shows as 1.39v in bios after a reboot, shows as 1.425v in Ryzen Master, 1.425v in HWinfo64 & 1.425v in CPUID HWmonitor too.

After another reboot (still 1.4v in bios), HWINFO shows 1.412v at idle, Ryzen master shows 1.425v, CPUID shows VID of 1.425v but also has CPU VDD which floats between 1.394v - 1.425v

Under load (Intel BIT) CPUID CPU VDD drops as far as 1.338v, as does HWINFO, Ryzen Master still shows 1.425v (guessing its just a setup program not actual monitoring for voltages)

Is this just a terrible case of voltage droop? Do i need to front load my voltage (1.425v?) to make up for the droop under load? Or is there no "definite" right sensor to read for the Vcore?

Be very careful, many moons ago people like myself tried second guessing vdroop.. it didn't end well.. all of a sudden it all died! If you want to clock, buy the board that can let you do it with at least an element of safety!!!! It isn't worth the risk, better to sell what you have and buy something which reports correctly, (at least you have some hope of stopping before it's too late!) I learnt this the hard way, as did several of my friends when numerous a64's either were killed, or basically wouldn't move on clocks..
