My Issue: I've been tweaking and overclocking my new system now for about the past 3 weeks or so and everything was going great. But then yesterday out of nowhere I noticed my 3700X is no longer boosting to its normal 'all-core' frequency when under full load. Ever since I setup my new system...

WOW thank you so much for this very in-depth response! I really appreciate the time you took to explain these things to me. I am going to look further into it and also watch the video you provided. I watched a very good video by Buildzoid last night where he was using a digital multimeter...

I recently upgraded my entire rig to a Ryzen 3700X and an Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard (among other things). So far I've been loving this new setup and I've been having a blast tweaking, overclocking and benching it. Up until today, I've been typically keeping my LLC set to 'Auto'...

damn. okay thanks for the info. im hoping the high temp isn't actually too high for whatever part of the board or VRM it is monitoring. like maybe its a "hot spot" location, similar to how the AMD GPU's (5700, 5700XT, etc.) have a "hot spot" reading that looks super hot, but in reality it is...

Whoops...yes i actually forgot to mention the low current / light workload aspect of it as well. Thank you. And yeah i will have to go back and re-read the whole thread and article. But yeah, many ppl are shocked when they see voltage readings near 1.5.... but in the end, it is nothing to...

I recently upgraded my system to a 3700X and an Asus ROG Strix X570-E motherboard. Since doing so, I've noticed that this mobo has WAY MORE temperature readings than my old B450 Tomahawk. Can someone please explain what these 'new' temperature readings are referring to? Some of them seem...

Also, when most system monitoring apps report "1.48v" or "1.5v" it is onlt taking into consideration the HIGHEST voltage currently being pushed into any given core. Therefore under single threaded workloads, "1.5v" is only going to a single core/thread and therefore is not as "dangerous" as...

I own a 3700X and I run it on an Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard. I am able to run my chip at 4.3ghz @ 1.35v with LLC of 3 or 4. My chip is fully stable and performs best at LLC 3, but I can also push it as low as 4 if I feel like it. Also, this is on an 'air-cooled' system. I...

I've recently been having a blast overclocking and tweaking my new setup (3700X / Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming / Trident Z Neo (3600 CL16) (B-die) / Red Devil 5700XT) because basically I'm a nerd and I hate my life...lol But anyway...I've finally been having some success as far as OCing my new...

(((BACKGROUND))) So, I recently swapped out my old set of Flare X (3200 cl14) b-die sticks for some brand new TridentZ Neo (3600 Cl16)(model F4-3600C16D-16GTZN) sticks and I'm having MUCH better overclocking results with this new set. I'm currently running a Ryzen 3700X, on the Asus ROG STRIX...

wow good stuff man! thats actually pretty crazy, form what ive heard as far as DRAM OCing on B350.. salute!

You probably arent doing anything wrong. B350 is a rather old platform and has notoriously been known for RAM compatibility issues and poor overclocking performance (at least when compared to something like b450 or x470). Im actually surprised that your B350 board even supports Ryzen 3000...

okay cool... thanks for the feedback. much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! And okay, cool...so basically these "extra" 4-pin connectors are pretty much useless and seem to be some type of marketting ploy. Except for ppl who intend to do hardcore overclocking (which i dont). I only plan to run my 3600X with PBO enabled at the very most. And run...

Thank you very much for the feedback! So, basically, I can connect my single 8-pin to the specified port on the mobo and just leave the 4-pin unpopulated? and it will still boot up and run correctly in that setup?
