AMD RYZEN 3000 sweet clocks for daily use?

[Tokki]

HI guys

i'm here with my ryzen zen2 3700x test screenshots.





Yes, hwinfo is software but anyway, between 4.1ghz and 4.0ghz settings are quite different.

It's just 100mhz clock down but cpu temp(almost 10'c), voltage, power consumption are really downed.

As you know, 3.6ghz(3700x stock)'s temp,power consumption are much better.

I guess stock clock is already maximum efficient clock and for that clock, amd selling with wraith stock cooler..

So IMO, if we increase core clock over 4ghz, maybe we lose many things for little more performance.

What's your opinion for ryzen 3000's sweet clocks for daily use not benchmark competition ?

Personally for daily use, run stock. Not even PBO. The way it adapts clock depending on how bad the load is, you could end up having better general performance at stock than an OC tuned for worst case, as you leave performance you could have for lighter loads.

I believe Mack nailed it, and offers a more thorough explanation here https://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/795240-Coffee-Lake-vs-Zen-2-performance-per-watt
