Ryzen - Socket measure vs HWInfo

[Sacco_Belmonte]

Hi.

I've measured vcore from my Prime X370 Pro, my readings are as following:


[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Say you have 1.412v LLC3 and under load it becomes 1.418v (vboost) in the multimeter but HW info shows 1.38v (vdroop)[/font]


[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]My question is: Is this still accurate in HWInfo and the actual vcore going into the cores is 1.38v?[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]in other words, is it normal to have such discrepancy between the socket and the CPU die?[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Thanks HWInfo team. [/font]

Yes, this depends on more factors and the exact measurement points.
There has been a discussion about this topic with detailed explanation from ASUS here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread
I know it's a long thread (and for a bit different board), but I'm sorry I don't remember the exact posts, you will need to make a search.

Thank you

I know that thread and all the other Ryzen related threads Those are some of the threads i was asking in.

So I ran some search and found some of the info. But still seems they're debating about the same thing.

Can I trust HWInfo readings then? are those the actual voltages going into the CPU regardless of the socket voltages?

Sorry, but I can't give you a reliable answer. I don't have enough knowledge in this matter, I only remember that it depends on where exactly you measure the voltage and using what tool.

Alright. Thank you for the info you did help me with.
