Question Using Ryzen Master

[keef_ca]

Hello. Well, I still cannot quite get a handle on two Ryzen Master dials. I have a stock Ryzen 3600 with an Asus B450 MB, 32g ram and Win10 64-bit. Right after starting Prime95 (with defaults) both PPT and EDC hit the red line in the dials. After a few minutes with the temp very good, PPT reached 100% and I shut the test down,

Will the CPU get damaged? How can I get some control over these numbers?

How I understand it so far is neither dial is thermal related however, I am using a Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 cooler (push pull fan setup). The MB is sitting on an anti-static bag on my desk so the temp numbers were very good. Tomorrow I am trying out a DeepCool Neptwin. (overkill??)

thanks

Just an opinion, but I don't like to overclock via software. Just old school in that regard. Though ryzen master could be useful to watch temps.

Personally I prefer to dial in an overclock in the bios, reboot, and use Intel burn test to check stability. Not nearly as long as prime, but it is pretty intense on your CPU. Could go until you find where that thinks it's stable, then run prime 95 for a longer period.

I'm still running an ASRock ab350 pro 4 board with a ryzen 1700x at 3.8ghz overclock. What I did personally was disabled all of the power saving features in bios and the boosting etc. If I recall 3.8 is the normal boost clock on the 1700x. I tried going higher, but my b350 board may be limiting me. However, I've got voltage set back to 1.325 and it stays mid 60s at fill load on a wraith prism.

So I would set everything back to stock. Disable any overclocking in ryzen master. Maybe just for a short test, use Intel burn test at stock settings just to make sure it's stable, test will take about 5 minutes for 10 passes but heats your CPU probably about like prime 95 does. If all is stable, then in bios, start to turn up the multiplier little by little. Once you get booted up, use Intel burn test to check stability as you monitor temps.

If that says your overclocking is stable, keep tweaking up until safe voltage and heat levels and until you find the max stable overclock. When you get there, you can always confirm with a run of prime 95. If it doesn't show your CPU as stable then back your overclocking back slightly.

Thanks for the info. Before I overclock I want to get a handle on what is going on right now.

Things were easier back in the AT days with a turbo button.....

Lol. Some guys like hwinfo 64. I personally like hwmonitor. To me it's easier to understand and shows you the max temps. So like if you're going to game, then load up hwmonitor and let it run in the background. Then when you exit the game, you can see max temps that you were hitting.

I have used hwinfo64 and hwmonitor. I can't remember why, but I decided to download Ryzen master a few weeks ago and I noticed temps in RM are lower than all the other monitors.

Hwin64, hwmonitor, OCCT, MSIAB, & SIV all report the same CPU temp, but RM is consistently 10c lower than all the others.

I have been reading though a bunch of threads, and I am pretty aware that everyone recommends RM to monitor temps. The last thread I was reading through had a screen shot with both RM and MSIAB on-screen display and I saw the same thing. RM was 10c lower than what MSI was displaying (that thread was on clock speeds but the info I was looking for was there).

Could all the monitors out there really be that wrong? IDK but I am leaning towards temps are wrong in Ryzen Master. Or maybe all the other monitors report the hottest part of the Die, while RM reports the average temp? Any thoughts on this?
