When strictly undervolting on a 65W AM5 processor, does the quality of the motherboard's power delivery determine how low you can go? Does it matter if you got a cheap board like the B850 Eagle?
My 7600x Eco is constantly hitting 80C and getting throttled (by my motherboard setting) on an Arctic Freezer 36. It's already gone through per core undervolting by at least -20 on each core. It's not even hot at where I live.
Is this normal? Is it a CPU thing or cooler thing (remount and apply thermal paste? defective cooler)?
Gamers Nexus appears to have better results with their unit.
I'm trying to undervolt the 7600x(Eco). Should LLC be set to the most aggressive mode? (Extreme on Gigabyte motherboards) There are two LLC's for my board one for the core and the other for the Soc.
Also does anyone know what kinds of load vCore I can expect for an all core 5.3ghz (5.45?) boost?
Here are my StatusCore results for the 7600x in Eco mode, tested on Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite:
Core 1 5440 5457 1.317v
Core 2 5440 5457 1.317v
Core 3 5440 5456 1.376v
Core 4 5440 5456 1.385v
Core 5 5386 5400 1.41v
Core 6 5352 5356 1.409v
This 9800x3d looks surpirsingly consistent in comparison. His voltages are a lot lower too.
Is my unit fine?
There is a bit of variance in the speed yCruncher VT3 runs at when bank refresh is set to mixed mode (5.57-5.82). The results in normal mode are more consistent (5.57-5.63) in comparison.
Is that just how mixed mode works, or is that mode not stable on my setup? In general how much iteration to iteration variance is considered normal?
Edit: Problem disappeared after a few more restarts.
