To get my 1920x to 4ghz and my memory to 3200mhz I have to have my Soc volts set to 1.2 in the bios and where it’s showing manual mode it says it’s at 1.242v is this safe? When in windows HWiNFO64 says it’s @1.194v and AIDA64 says 1.243v which one should I believe and is it safe?

1.2 is the max I would say....there are rumours of death/degrading over 1.25 so you don't want to be anywhere near for 24/7 stuff.

Not sure about SOC readings...have you played with SOC LLC?

1.2 set in BIOS I don't know why it would be at 1.243?

I can’t even find SOC LLc*
Never mind found it, it was set to auto so I have now set it to level 3*

Auto is good...if you set it to 3 it will send SOC even higher...

my board must be backwards because level 3 is keeping it at what I set*

Well I have been having a little tinker and am at vcore 1.44v bios/idle and 1.406 prime load and Soc 1.14v showing 1.19v in the bios* 72c max temp*

Arne_Saknussemm · ‎03-07-2018

Hmm that is a bit outside of my comfort zone for sure

68C is the AMD recommended max temp and 1.425v the max vcore

I have read you can disregard the 68c and these chips are fine up until 80c and then they thermal throttle*

well I managed to get some G.SKILL TridentZ 3200mhz c14 for a great price and now have my vcore down to 1.4v idle 1.36v load and SOC down to 1.1v running at 4ghz nice and stable, so it looks like my Corsair vengeance LPX was holding my chip back*

The Corsair kit may have been dual sided/rank, so needed extra SOC, out of curiosity what was exact Corsair LPX kit used? cheers 🙂 .
