Hi.
I recently switched from Intel to AMD and i have a question about OC or rather downclocking.
When i got the computer it was already running at locked core speeds 40.5x multiplier so i set it to auto and with that it enabled precision boost 2.0 ( from what i understand? ).
But my question is, does setting core multiplier to 40.5x and running on all cores hurt the Ryzen chip on the long run or is it actually better to leave it set to AUTO and let Ryzen handle the core speeds and voltages.
Also by doing that i noticed Ryzen almost runs at fixed voltage rates at around 1.32 idle or even lower at higher workloads, so i don't know if that is more beneficial than precision boost which has fluctuating voltage rates but are much higher up to 1.47 at light work.
I actually hardly noticed any difference in games between precision boost and locking multiplier at lower level. The only difference are much lower temps and obviously a bit less score in Cinebench20 and CPU-Z. But like i said, lower temperatures and also a much better FAN curve makes me wonder if i should just leave it at all cores locked and not even bother with precision boost, because computer runs smooth as well.
But so far i didn't dare going back to setting core multiplier at a certain value because i don't know if there any disadvantages with manually setting core multiplier to 40x or even 39.5x on the long run.
My computer specs.
Ryzen 3700x
Asus Tuf gaming b450
Geforce 2060 Super
16GB Vengeance at 3200mhz
