Did I tell the OP to immediately run his run his voltage up that high? No. But my board sure as hell puts out that much voltage at stock to put my 1600 in a turbo state. And rightfully so, as it is a high leakage potato. Hell, it needs 1.47v just to have a stable 24/7 all core overclock of 3.90GHz.
I made the comment because you are pillow biting about 1.3v knowing good and well that the motherboard pushes that much and more during normal p-states. All you got to do is look up the VIDs to see this, or put windows into high performance mode and look at CPU-Z with a 3600 lol.
Apparantly what you don't understand is that the 3600 SKU is the lowest quality and leakiest silicon of the 7nm, meaning that it will take a lot more voltage than the higher binned SKUs to reach equivalent stable clock speed. Your fears come from lack of experience. Instead of buying high bin, low leakage SKUs that can run on lower voltage, try buying the low end once and a while, live a little, and crank it up. Don't let some random on reddit make you live in fear. Actually dig into your motherboard registers and look for yourself.
Your lack of knowledge in ZEN2 aspects is at full demonstration right now, and obviously you didn’t follow every post in this thread. If you had read the posts and states that many wrote here beside me, users that done their homework and know how to observe readings and how to interpret them, you would know that you can’t apply same voltage at given speed like when its on auto boosting at same speed.
1. If a ZEN2 CPU is auto boosting avg at 4.2GHz single core with avg 1.45V you cannot set static 4.2GHz with static 1.45V You will exceed silicon limits.
2. If a ZEN2 CPU is auto boosting avg at 4.05GHz all core with avg 1.38V you cannot set static 4.05GHz with static 1.38V you will exceed silicon limits.
3. and so on...
Of course I'm aware that 3600 is the bottom of the barrel silicon quality (I own one, and not some high binned SKU), and requires the highest voltage of all ZEN2 SKUs to run the same speeds. Thats why it is contrained to such low speeds by default. What we are trying to pass here is that its completely wrong to set static voltage to a given static speed just because you see this value due to auto boosting. Its false practice and lack of knowledge.
Do you even know what the name FIT is? Have you ever heard of silicon FITness controller on ZEN2? The only defence of the CPU against degradation? Do you own and experiment a ZEN2 SKU? Any experience with one? Did you spend hours after hours of testing, observing, asking other ZEN2 users for operating info, reading about and try to understand its core technology and how this thing work and behave?
...or you just looking VIDs and copy the values? Oh this is so experienced practice...
Do you know terms like PPT/TDC/EDC? Once you set ZEN2 to a static OC and voltage the silicon FITness controller is off and no longer regulates silicon stress and cant protect the silicon. I've said it before, but you didnt read it or choose to ignore it or did not understand it. The internal manager of ZEN2 flactuates clock and voltage hundreads of times within a sec to keep performance as high as possible and keeping silicon preservation altogether in conjunction with temperature, avoiding irreversible electromigration... You cant copy or simulate this kind of operation and behaviour with any manual OC ad voltage settings.
I hope the OP and/or any other ZEN2 user will not be drifted by your false states and practices. As far as I'm concerned you can keep your great and exciting "living on the edge overclocking" life and enjoy it.
Hi, sorry for the long time I took to make it but I have to study also.
This is what I get.

I'm confused a little...
I see the PPT/TDC/EDC values and percentage and cartainly are not as I suggested...
I suggested...
PPT: 90
TDC: 0
EDC: 70
And these settings must be like...
PPT: 1000
TDC: 115
EDC 168
