[SOLVED] Ryzen 3600 Did I Win Silicon Lottery?

[Darcory]

Hello folks! I manage to use Ryzen 3600 4.1ghz as stable with that peak voltage, (1.16875) am i so luck or this is normal? Much cooler, less sound, much lesser voltage and same performance as far as i see. Did lot of test too. I wonder if there is something wrong in there or everything fine?

That's pretty good, 1.2v+ is expected.

Great to hear, than i can say i'm lucky with that silicon! I'm really amazed how much cooler; less voltage and less sound with same performance than default with PBO active. So happy to hear everything fine!

Thanks!

Some MBs and their BIOS tend to push too much voltage in auto mode. I like using PBO but had to set negative offset voltage to curb it.

I was seeing 1.48-1.32V between when system in load with default/PBO. Maybe single core performance was bit better but not worth it for me, atleast for now, maybe in future i can make active with offset voltage like you said. I'm playing games with 60fps so this performance is good enough for me, no need to push more for now.

Have you tried running Prime95(AVX disabled) for a longer period of time(1-2 hours) ?
Just to make sure that it's stable at that voltage.
My ryzen 5 2600 was stable for 25 mins with 1.220V@4 GHz in Prime95... got a black screen in the end, so I had to go back to 1.236V.

That's a damn good chip if it's running 1.16V@4.1 GHz stable.

Hmmm i didn't tried this one and 2 hours long torture test to be honest. Will do that later. But when i play games as long season and doing some cpu heavy stuff nothing bad happened so i don't know if this torture test will be realistic for my usage. Still no harm from trying. : )

Thanks for the suggest and great to hear it's damn good cheap haha! If i can pass that torture test than wow. 😀 Will try later!

Everything's not fine yet, don't assume you're lucky until fully tested.

First is how are you testing performance as you can't use clock speed as a measure of performance with Ryzen processors. You have to check both light threaded and multi threaded performance with an appropriate benchmark.

The easiest and most repeatable is Cinebench 20, compare both multi-threaded and single-threaded to your 'overclock', and stock and with PBO enabled. I'd wager your 'overclock' is killing gaming critical single-threaded performance while giving a very small, if any, boost to multi-threaded compared to what PBO could.

Thanks for letting me know. I did a single core test too and this is result, anything wrong with the score?

I'd be looking for a score closer to 500 or over. But comparing to other systems is really an exercise in futility as you can't really control, or duplicate, exactly what they did during their testing.

The thing you're doing here is comparing to your own system with different setups...stock, PBO enabled, your 'overclock'...to see which is giving best performance in each. And test both multi-thread and single-thread. For maximum repeatability I strive to keep it simple by doing the test first thing after the system settles following a restart and have nothing running in the Tray (especially iCue).

My 3600 did 4.275 an 1.288 is that Silicon Lottery i did aida extreme stress test an nhd15 it was 77c for hour and it was stable all time
