overclocking my voltage not working? stuck at +0.204v on my Aorus B450 pro board

[omagi55]

Hi guys, I am new to overclocking. I have a Aorus b450 Pro and Ryzen 5 2600. I watched youtube guides on overclocking but i cant seem to set my core voltage to 1.3-1.4v. Im stuck at +0.204v is my motherboard broken or something? I watch other guys overclocking on youtube and they can set their voltage freely my wont even reach 1.0v. 🙁

If it is stable at 4.0 with that voltage id leave it.

My ryzen 3 1200 wont get past 3.9ghz with 1.5 volts even though they should with less voltage so you got pretty lucky.

The 1200 is a different chip manufactured by a different company using a different process and is literally the worst silicon they produced in it's generation. Why would you expect it to work with less

Ohh okay thats good. It was stable at +0.150v i ran aida64 for 2hrs & 30mins and getting 69-70c. Then i tried upping the voltage to +0.174v for 2hrs the temp went up a bit 74-75c. Is that normal?

More voltage always equals more temp. That's the reason people try to keep it as low as possible

Ohhh thats why, dumb me lol. I'll tweak it back at 0.150v again. Just tried if 0.174v has more fps ingame its the same tho lol! Thank you so much for answering my silly/stupid question im still learning about overclocking. And this is my first computer with a decent specs thats why i was really scared at first.

What sophos? The 1200 is made by AMD, same as the 2600 and is based on the 14nm zen architecture, very simmilar to the 2600. It uses the same socket and same motherboards as the 2600. The 1200 is by no means a bad cpu at all. It draws little power and has 4 cores for only $95. It also comes with the same exact cooler as the 2600. Couple the beefy cooler with the lower power chip and these cpus usually get to 4.0ghz on stock cooling or higher.

The 2600 is zen+ 12nm and the cores are literally made by a different process not just size than the og ryzen.


They bin the chips when manufactured. Epyc gets best cores, then threadripper then r7-5-3 in that order. there's nothing wrong with the 1209 but it's the worst silicon in the ryzen product stack

 

[NightHawkRMX]

That is true. It is by no means bad tho

No it's a fine processor. I've done 3 builds with em. Kinda replaced by default by the 2200g but it's a powerhouse for it's price, especially 2 years ago when i3s we're still 2c4t

Ahh good old intel. Little innovation over 7 years haha. Glad this thread is solved.
