I don't even pay too much attention to it anymore BF, I just close my eyes and turn the dial

It's the process used.

Very temperature dependant. On my FX with my cold loop I could get stupid high voltage to keep scaling. With this 1700x and same loop ~ 1.5ish is where it stops helping. Any real work just crashes even up to 1.6v. Once I froze it that wall just moved up about 900MHz but acted the same way.

This and the magic sauce used (the amount of donar and acceptor atoms used, their type, etc). Which I guess is the process used. Soooooooo the process used as cdawall said [emoji14]

Ryzen doesn't seem to scale like the Fx and Phenom II chips do.

It scales well enough for the first attempt at this process remember early B2 phenom I vs late B3 Phenom I

Agreed cdawall, especially for a totally new chip.

If it's true, lo and behold it doesn't clock better than Ryzen 7. Not upset at all, I made the right call if that is the case.

The funny thing is that Gigabyte seems to have caught on to the adjusted sensor (not that it's exactly a secret) and it automatically adjusts for it. So, fans end up running no faster than they otherwise would (and it's nice not having to make a 20C adjustment to my fan curves).
I really don't know what AMD was thinking with this offset. Just seems like a really stupid idea. If someone is running with inadequate cooling/too low fan speed to boost properly then that's basically their problem.

Well, the other part about that is "squealing" is only about 100 MHz. Part of the reason cooling isn't that important is that there's little to no OC headroom to begin with.

I don't usually like OC software but I think they did a decent job with RM. I'm just getting into it as far as testing but one cool thing about it is it keeps the power cycling. No need to fuss with P-states and voltage in BIOS. I'll know more in a few hours but so far it's actually pretty cool.

I think the overall high end wall probably exists around 4.0-4.1 GHz. However, four (and to a lesser extent six) core chips may get marginally higher clocks just based on there being less chance of being held back by one core which serves as the weakest link.
Yeah, I think it works pretty well for that. The biggest problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to get it to automatically apply an overclock on start. At least I haven't stumbled on a way to do it yet.
