[SOLVED] Am I stable at 1.18v?

[Aviator466]

Hey

So I'm quite confused - I'm on an ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming with a R5 2600X, and I'm just trying to squeeze a bit extra out of my all core speeds, as they always stick around 4GHz. Looked into this a bit and tried to OC.

Used Ryzen Master to work out a stable voltage for 4.1GHz, which was 1.38125v.

The voltage control in the BIOS is extremely confusing, understanding what an offset value is is fine for me, but it seems to think the default voltage was something really low (at least it seems like it to me) 1.18ish volts. The default voltage was too high (fluctuating between 1.35 and 1.45) so I assumed I'd need to do a negative offset, but looking at that I'd need to do a significant positive offset. So I set it back to auto voltage at 4100MHz and now the CPU VDD in HWMonitor says 1.175. It's completely stable so far from what I've seen, just very confused and slightly worried.

Could anyone clear this up for me? Any other advice to do with this is appreciated too.

Thanks

Voltage set at auto and negative voltage offset will still vary with the load. Low voltage depends on load also and i will rise with the load so it has no effect on stability.
Stability is easy to check, just run some benchmark program like Cine Bench https://www.maxon.net/en/cinebench for initial and often sufficient test or some other more torturous programs lik OCCT or Prime95 etc.
