[SOLVED] Ryzen 7 3700x at 4.4Ghz at 1.35V

[SeaBrocolli]

Hi all,

So I have just got a new RX 6800 so I thought I would try overclocking my Ryzen 7 3700x. Managed to get 4.4Ghz on 1.35V. I have seen a few threads where people are mentioning using 1.4V to get to a stable 4.4Ghz, so did I luck out with the silicone? Using a 240mm Coolermaster AIO if that helps?

Thanks

The 7nm process has matured wonderfully. Test it with something like Cinebench23 multi-thread rendering for at least 30 min's; if it's stable under heavy workload like that and temps holding below 95C with your 240mm AIO, I'd say just enjoy it.

But as an aside, I'm really not sure why a new RX6800 merits overclocking a 3700X. In most scenarios the GPU is still the limiter.

Thanks, would this put it in Golden Chip tier? I dont fancy pushing it to 1.4 to see what else, if anything, I can get out of it if I have a very decent OC at 1.35

Like I said...stress test it with CB23, multi-thread test, for 30 min's at least. If it stays stable you're GTG...if it starts bouncing off the 95C limiter by throttling it's your call if you want to continue with it.

I'm reading some people getting 4.5Ghz on 3800X's at 1.25V so no, 1.35V at 4.4Ghz doesn't sound like a 'golden chip'. If it were, it would be in a 3800X (or one of the dies in a 3950, or even an Epyc die). AMD is very smart about their binning and 3700X is the bottom of the stack for 8 core chiplets, that makes it hard to believe one would get a die that's anywhere close to 'golden'. Just benefiting from a maturing process.
