This is on par with what I see on my 3900x but with slightly higher temps because more cores. corsair icue fucks me.

Yeah i know that.
Thats why i think you should set and tweak things manually.
Simply because in my opinion 1.5V for just boosting single core clocks is ridiculous.
And only mean unnecessary heat production as manny complain about.
AMD could claim that it’s normal, and yeah for the time being it might be.
But yeah it does show, that the issue still doesn’t seem to be properly under control,
by both AMD and board manufacturers.
Hopefully the platform will mature before it being eol lol 
Newst Ageesa patches seem to be a bit of an improvement.
But those still arent available for all boards.
So yeah i guess it’s a matter of waiting before the situation gets better.
Or indeed manually overclock or tweak the thing yourself, which kinda what i was steering into.

ASRock for example is prioritizing their newer motherboards, but i think they will update their older motherboards soon.

Well yeah that is kinda understandable and not really anything Asrock to blame for.
I think that i do like Asrock’s way of handling bios updates a bit more then Asus and Gigabyte for example.
I mean it’s nice that Asus and Gigabyte roll out bios updates on a regular base.
However not every update is an improvement on things really.
Sometimes an update could also break things etc.
Asrock seems to wait a bit before rolling certain updates out.
Which isn’t necessarily a bad idea i think.

Yeah, i think i like that way as well.
Biostar seems to be doing it that way as well, the AGESA version on their motherboards seems to be in line with ASRock’s.

It doesn’t run at 1.5v for a single core though. When you load a core up the voltage drops down to ‘normal’ levels.
Precisely what happens here, and it doesn’t go up to 1.5v, it stops at 1.45v when it spikes.

Yeah in this case maybe yes.
But i have seen otherwise with certain Asus boards.
I still think that with manual fine tuning you can get it better.
But yeah AMD kinda already has pushed those chips out of the box.

I believe 1.5v could be dangerous.
I’m yet to build a Ryzen system with an Asus motherboard, but i’m going to a close eye to the voltages reading if i ever build one.

Haha well yeah a bit offtopic.
But it wouldn’t be the first time when some dodgy Asus bios smokes a cpu.
Looking at you X99.

Oh damn, what happened back then?
Well yeah Asus used the so called OC socket on X99 boards.
But yeah one of their biosses had a flaw that it pumped way too much voltage,
into the cpu on boot.
It just smoked the cpu’s haha oops

Ayayay, did they even refund anyone, or just carried on?
Well one of the reasons i’m not a huge fan of rushing out biosses.
Because i think with a little bit of more care and testings,
issues like that could have been ironed out.
But yeah idk if they have refunded users, i don’t think so.
Because likely intel refunded them.

That is true, ASRock seems to do it that way from what i gather.
Yeah, I think i’ve seen 1.46 a handful of times. after agesa updates it rarely gets near that too.
