So long story short I thought I had a 100% stable 24/7 OC of 4.35ghz. Until I was listening to some youtube videos on the way back from work and decided to download Cinebench R20 and see how my system was stacking up. As the program instructed I disabled all other programs and ran the benchmark. To my surprise I was much slower than even a stock 1700X! So I opened Hwmonitor and all of a sudden when I would run the bench mark my CPU would downclock itself to 3.0ghz on all cores?? To be fair ive not ran to many stress tests other than the one that was included in CPUID which showed that it was taxing my CPU at 100% on all threads. And on CPUID stress test I had not had any problems with the CPU down clocking and scored nicely. Temps were also not a problem would always stay below 70C even after long testing. So I opened Ryzen master to check temps and clocks to make sure it was not HWmonitor problem and then i noticed the PPT was in the red saying 141W max and 100%of the 141 was being used. After lots of googling and things I figured out what the basics of each one of these meant PPT, TDC, and EDC. Though I do not fully understand them.
This brings me to my questions I started tweaking and googling but I do not want to damage my system so Im coming to my go to community to get some real answers.
Question 1- What is the max safe amount of PPT, TDC, and EDC this CPU can handle with a 24/7 OC. I put the PPT up to a max of 175W and ran one round of Cinebench R20 and scored well though slighty lower than other 2700Xs but dont want to push it if this is unsafe. Temps then jumped to 72C on the CPU everything else well below 70c.
Question 2- What is the safe settings for all this for my Motherboard? All temps in HWmonitor for the MOBO have never went over 55C.
Question 3- I read one post while googling about degradation at above 1.35v on the CPU where someone claimed that he tested like 4 ryzen systems im wanting to say all 2700x and every system that ran above 1.35 within 6 months had a 100mhz degradation to the cpu. This was not clearly explained maybe its was talking about boost speed, or stable OC? Not sure, I kind of feel like this is bull seeing on how ive ran my I7 system 24/7 OCd close to the max safe voltage with no problems after 5 years and its still running strong. But just wanted to make sure.
Question 4 - Why would Cinebench R20 cause these symptoms but not CPUID stress test if each of them tax the CPU to 100%?
P.S. Im not above reading about this stuff so if you would link me good quality info about it all I would like to understand why and what each of these mean PPT, TDC, EDC and any other information that would help me keep my system stable and safe.
As always thank you all for the help!
