tell me about it, iv been getting a twitchy bottom looking at the high volts these cpus hit and soo many stories of degradation has got me really worried.
usually the voltage drops due to vdroop under load, but going from 1.25v to 1.1 is a lot of droop, if its causing stability issues you can user a higher level of load line calibration to help it.
please enlighten me, 1.55v going into these 7nm cpus is too much for long term reliability. its already been reported that zen2 and zen3 have very high failure rates and it seems to be linked to these high voltages the cpus run. live fast die young motto for amd.
I suspect lifespan of these ryzen cpus is expected to be not much more than the warranty period, iv still got 1st gen intel core i7 systems in operation today going strong with no signs of degradation after 10 years of operation.
Guess thats the price in lifespan amd have to pay to compete with...
if actual supplied voltage is over 1.5v degradation happens instantly? im seeing high vids of 1.544 and SVI2 TFN of 1.52v on stock. this seems very dangerous to me.
VID is what cpu wants, SVI2 TFN is what cpu gets. voltage regulator and vdroop stuff causes the difference im guessing. be lucky iv seen vid as high as 1.544 and SVI2 TFN at 1.513 on my 5900x. had to manually set a negative voltage offset to keep vcore below 1.45v otherwise it will degrade.
