I'm very new to AMD overclock, well actually my last overclock was Celeron 366... So I'm really in the dark with Ryzen overclock.
I wanted to peg the processor at 4.1GHz all cores, however I have a peeve about power usage. I use power saving mode daily, with about 60 watt of power on browsing and office work. Blindly overclocking to 4.1GHz with just changing multiplier and setting CPUv to 1.35v my PC now uses about 70 watt of power doing the same thing.
I noticed the system doesn't lower its voltage on power saving mode and checking on MSI board forum it's a quirk of the BIOS that the CPUv is fixed like that, so I cancel my overclocking effort. However a couple months back MSI updated the BIOS with something called offset which I assume allows for lowering voltage when not needed. I tried overclocking again and tinker with the offset options to no avail.
Anyone knows how to overclock Ryzen on MSI motherboards and have it lower its CPUv on idle/low power usage?
