[SOLVED] Safe voltage for 2700X with POB on?

[robertdegges]

So I enabled POB in BIOS and in ryzen master.

Voltages
Ryzen master: average 1.53
Hwininfo: average 1.425 with a max of 1.444

Getting a pretty much constant 4.275 ghz on all cores

Temps:

Tctl: max 72C, average 47C
Tdie: max 62C, average 37C

These temps are after running Heaven benchmark

Setup:

2700x
Taichi X470
H105 AIO

What do you guys think? All I did was enable POB, did not mess with anything else.

What does POB stand for? Is it the built in auto OC?

Either way, that's really high. High enough that I'd only recommend running that for benchmarks and not 24/7. AMD even says that anything around 1.45v is ok but only for short periods of time.

 

[robertdegges]

It’s precision overboost. Alright thanks for the heads up

 

[robertdegges]

I’m a little confused because it’s set to auto overclocking.

 

[TechyInAZ]

Sorry can you show me in a screenshot the exact settings?

Cause if it's a motherboard feature by Asrock, then it's bad.

But if it's a feature by AMD it is ok.

 

[robertdegges]

It’s an AMD feature. I’ll screenshot when I get home. I did see this post by an amd person:

[TechyInAZ]

Ah ok yeah that's fine. Cause the 1.444v only happens during lower loads.

 

[robertdegges]

I think I’ll leave it as is and uninstall Parkcontrol.

With the cores parked, I don’t think it’ll effect gaming? I’m sure it’ll use them when it needs. Just had it for my 8350

 

[TechyInAZ]

core parking is a complete gimmick. Just leave everything as default, manually adjusting core parking does nothing to performance.

 

[robertdegges]

Figured I would update:

I reset the bios to default, and reenabled XMP and the XFR(POB)

Uninstalled parkcontrol and set the windows power plan to balanced.

Ryzen master is now downclocking to 0.8V/2200mhz when idle and under load goes to 1.36-1.444V(4275-4300)

Temps don’t go above 60C.

So I’m happy with it now.

One weird thing is when I put it to sleep, it won’t wake up. After googling this issue for a while, I’ve decided to just not put it to sleep lol

Disable deep sleep on monitor.
