I should give this a try!

Seriously man I don't know where you get your sources from.

The 20 degree off-set happens on X model only actually and no, it's not just software. Even the motherboard BIOS will report it with 20 degree off from actual.

I don't know how many of your posts I have to highlight, later I become like bad person already.

What's it got to do with Ryzen Master when the off-set is there even without Ryzen Master?

You can refer to my video, skip to 2:30



IF it's really a Ryzen Master aka software issue, you think the motherboard will display the same number? It's more than just software.

Refer to my video above.

btw what's your processor model?

OK I tested mine

Ryzen Master report = Motherboard LED report
HW Monitor report = AIDA64



It's weird though, on idle they were about 2c part, then on load they were about 10c apart then now they're about 5c apart.

Latest ..........



*board LED report same as Ryzen Master*

Should go with that, because other software we don't know how good they are but the Ryzen Master and LED from my experience is most accurate, but the rest aren't far off actually.

I guess it's just a matter when they read.

My stress test is still running, all showing 62 already.

Stability test varies.

Simple one, use Realbench run 15 minutes enough. AIDA64 also can but I don't know how good it is.

Want tougher test go OCCT 1 hour.

What slowly increase ah? I go the other way around

Straight start from 1.4Ghz with 1.45vcore. Work from there down.

Sorry write wrong. It's 4Ghz.

It takes far less time when you start high and slowly drop the voltage.

4Ghz with 1.45vcore is ok. This is to test whether it can run on 4Ghz.

If at 4Ghz with 1.45vcore still not successful then not good already, continue dropping speed until stable. After that, maintain the speed and drop the vcore until stable.

Not stock cooler, that's for sure.

Just read up what overclock and voltage people usually get in their reviews and you have a basic idea on the cap.

Put the same setting as theirs see if yours works.

I give up on hoping to get 4.1Ghz, it's tough and vcore is high, no guarantee too.

4Ghz seems to be quite common, vcore requirement varies.

3.9Ghz seems to be one easily attainable.

Keep trying.

3.8 - 3.9 is sweet spot. Going 4Ghz feels good but too much power on vcore.

The thing about Ryzen is that even if it registers 80c the heatsink still feels cool to the touch.

From my own tests ..........



If you have money to spare, go for it.

If not, forget about it.

Ryzen users - I wonder if you guys realize that regardless the CPU temperature reading the heatsink is almost never hot.

I can see my temps reach 80 range and that puny tower cooler still running cool.

Use hand touch enough la, apasal need infrared thermometer?

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 <=- gets my vote.

RAM doesn't affect OC.

I donno what your friend did la but my experience with Ryzen has been super rock solid.

I have been using no less than 5 Ryzen models and have been producing videos with Ryzen rig for the past 2 months and absolutely ZERO instability issues.

Oh btw BIOS can really break your board.

My MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium for example was nice for OCing, then last BIOS update was like shit, totally can't OC a thing but luckily I found out this late la.

I flashed the BIOS and didn't do much OC, fortunately when I found out the suck case time there's already a new BIOS. Now it's working fine again.

Go with a used RX 470.
