Exponential Ryzen Voltage-Frequency Curve (Overclocking)

From the creator

We demonstrate AMD Ryzen 2's exponential volt-frequency curve (normal for Intel, too) & overclocking vs. safe voltages on an R7 2700X vs. 1700.

As expected, the R7 2700X is a better overclocker than the R7 1700 -- not news -- and also maintains its higher clocks at a lower relative voltage than the R7 1700. That said, it also hits a wall at some point, and that's the point at which sub-ambient cooling solutions would be required to push further in our AMD Ryzen CPU benchmarks. This partly looks at Ryzen 2 thermal performance and power consumption of the 2700X, but only in the context of our V-F testing. The article explains the test methodology used for our R7 2700X vs. R7 1700 frequency testing, and also talks a bit about how "safe" voltages are less important than just maintaining safe temperatures for Ryzen 2. Besides, if you can't keep temperature low, it'll be hard to hit an unsafe temperature. We have a new GN store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content? Please consider becoming our
