the thing is once you set edc to 1 the workload current detection is disabled for all I know. this results in a voltage bump in some instances.

once you run high (synthetic) workloads (avx etc.) on a regular basis this might degrade your chip.

better use something where your voltage stays within specifications.

From my understanding i think its a "safer" all core overclock technique. Could be wrong though.

not necessarily. with both, EDC and all core OC you could be using too much voltage during heavy stress loads.

I personally do it like this. I test how much voltage the cpu is using on stock for small FFTs @Prime95.
For example that's 1.25V (after vdroop) for my 8 core chip. (its slightly different for every chip)

So if I set EDC to 1 I'd be getting ~1.28V and with an all core overclock I'd be seeing whatever voltage I set - vdroop (depending on LLC) which would in most instances still be higher than 1.25V.

So unless you get to know how much of a safety buffer AMD applies to their voltage protection algorithms noone can possibly tell how much additional to 1.25 in this instance is save under those max load states.
*
I tested both stock and edc 1 and the voltage during load is pretty much the same. Surprisingly all edc, tdc, and ppt parameters are well within the 65w tdp specs. Hence i dunno what kinda sorcery is this edc 1 doing. Hahahahha

I actually set my llc to the lowest setting to allow more vdroop. My multicore scores went up due to the slightly lower voltages at load.

But i do agreee with you. Whether this technique is safe or not or will cause degradation, nobody can give a definite answer. But since im already at the bottom of the silicon lottery. I couldnt care less hehehhe. Even more reason to get a new proc if anything fails.

Ram is this https://www.gskill.com/product/165/326/1562...35V32GB-(4x8GB)
i using the 1.7.3 calculator and folo exactly all the setting but can't boot.
Processor no OC. PBO enable. I'm wondering what makes me can''t OC  this ram  bangwall.gif

Trying the "calculate safe" 3600mhz. I'm so sad now...hoep can get help from all sifu

Did u use thaiphoon burner to check ur ram details?

to me manual oc is dead (for 24/7) setup. get d vrm & cpu cooled as much as u can, then let d pbo does its job.  smile.gif

so one only left with ram oc to play with. 3800 @ 1:1 with tightest timing & vdimm which u can tolerate is d way to go imo.  tongue.gif
*
this is my take on the new gen Ryzen cpu's as well.

cool it as much as possible, let it fly on its own. get a very good set of rams and go as tight timings as possible.

don't trust thaiphoon burner blindly. I've myself seen it more than once giving wrong info on dies.

@k!nex fine kit, haven't tested stability?
I have my doubts its really stable with this tRAS @21 with tCL and tRCDRD at 14 each.

how can i get the true real information of my dies then?

for some manufacturers the sticker on the ram holds the information needed.
as you can see with corsair and g.skill.
2 posts up you see v4.32, that's always samsung c die for example.
the safest would be to look below the heatspreader/sticker, but that's not always easily possible and could also void warranty.

if you have the sticks already the most convenient way you can confirm is by testing few values and voltage scaling characteristics to figure what dies are on them.
but you probably know that anyways.
*
Thanks! Shitty dies i have for both ram and cpu. For g.skill what information should i look out for on the sticker?

Adata D60G DDR4 3600 16GB (XPG) (8GB*2) CL14 for rm854. Hmmmm should i get it?

1) G.Skill got that 042 code, most important are the 3 last digits. NNX
NN=10 = Samsung
NN=21 = Hynix
X=The Die

2) What's the other primaries and the voltage for the 3600 profile?

To be frank... you use Zen2, just get a Micron E-Die Kit and adjusting timings yourself.
U'll spend (less than) half of RM854 and will get almost same performance.
*
Thanks for the info! I tried tightening the timings on my ram again. And surprisingly i manage to get it done. This time i actually disabled xmp profile and manually set the voltages and timings according to dram calculator safe timings.

3600mhz i manage to get 16-21-21-21-42 (aida test shows lower latency but lower throughput)

3733mhz i manage to get 18-22-22-22-42 (aida test shows higher latency but higher throughput)

Which you reckon will have better gaming performance? And what rams are on micron edie?

choose the one with lower voltage (3733). even though worse on paper you hardly gonna notice the difference.
e-dies hard to get as micron not selling the kits that are e-die exclusive in malaysia.
you can get corsair sticks with them but that's a gamble.
best is to order overseas. I can just add a kit to my next order if you want, just send me a pm.

but seeing you managed to oc your ram, just keep it n go with that.

I'll just drop some basic B-Die settings from my record here.
I haven't had a kit that wouldn't run these on zen2.
but actually seeing your numbers above... those might be c-dies

B-Dies:
3733 memclk / 1866 fclk

ProcODT 36.9
RTT 0/0/5

Thanks for sharing. Im gonna try to see if i can hit cl14 or cl15 @ 3600. If not try to hit cl16 @ 3733. But i reckon 3733 will give a slight edge due to higher infinity fabric. i think my ram are b-dies. just that its very low bin batch i suspect.

Im willing to try pushing vdimm up to 1.45v to try and achieve the above scenarios. Wish me luck!

Awesome, thanks for the tip. It indeed is CJR, will try to push those timings and see.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

Hi Terry,

how did you verify if your F4-3600C18D-16GTZN is CJR? i'm using the exact same ram as you, but thaiphoon burner shows samsung b-die.

thanks.

settled for 3600mhz @ 16-20-20-20-40 @ 1.4v

pc was able to boot at 3733mhz @ 17-22-22-22-42 @ 1.4v but was unstable as windows was stuttering.

Your 3700X is amazing. I cant even push mine on static overclock to be stable at all core 4.3Ghz at 1.35V vcore.

Looks like he won the silicon lottery. Must be a 3700xt hehhehe

95% certain is Samsung C die. Another 5% possible Hynix CJR. Because I have 1 set of Trident-Z RGB and 1 set of Trident-Z Neo 3600Mhz CL18-22-22-42 1.35V. Both of them also Samsung C die. Trident-Z Royal seems to have the same PCB as the other Trident-Z series except different heatsink and the lighting effects.

Whats the best that you manage to squeeze out from your samsung c die kits? Especially the trident z neo 3600 cl18.

this are my current ram timings @ 1.4v should i lower the voltage? i'm quite lost right now on how i can further make it mroe efficient.

I'll just answer that @red-queen as I had a c-die kit recently which I briefly tested.
At 3800 you're looking at 18-20-21-21 or 18-21-21-21
At 4000 you'd be looking at something like 20-23-23-39

They also scale negatively on higher voltages. Sweetspot is between 1.3 and 1.35V on those frequencies.

Which is why I suggested you in fact have C-Dies few days back when I saw your results.
*
sorry, but what does scale negatively on higher voltages mean? higher volts get lower frequency, but lower volts get higher frequency?

have yet to play with any highly binned samsung c die but at that timing it's very close to CJR (which can do slightly tighter timing i supposed). I'd say get it totally stable 1st, then only tighten d timing from there.  smile.gif

after a full day testing 3800 is not stable. system doesnt crash totally, but i get stuttering. my discord sound gets disoriented and my game will flicker.

back to 3733 now.

That should be down to your IF then though.
You should have tested that first with the ram on 3200xmp .

Anyways, 3733 almost same, will serve you right until you either upgrade ram or cpu  brows.gif

Or both hhahahhah

//fixed memclk (thanks lolzkalvin) and updated with your tested config CAL V, have a shot!

yellow ones are where you can improve (tRC, tRRDL, and tWTRL will only boost your bandwidth a little, tRFC will boost both latency & bandwidth).
light-green ones are those you already have tighter than my initial suggestion. keep them since they are stable.

note that BGS (BankGroupSwap) should be Enabled for SR DIMMS (2*8GB) and disabled for DR DIMMS (2*16GB)
BGS_Alt will always be the opposite of BGS

@nrw can i use this settings? drool.gif drool.gif
