simple.. its already a bad ass chip. no need to add the extra strain and heat to the system until I need more than it can handle atm.





this is what I thought aswell. people always talk about 1.4+v being bad for your chip so I couldn't imagine what 3+ would do to it.





I always make sure to check it after anything bios related. when I first set it up the auto voltage was going crazy so I set it at its normal volt.

No strain if you keep it stock

Minimal strain if you dont

It's not that "bad ass" stock

Oh... 3.0x volts. Yeah, even Turbo won't get that. Probably just a glitch in the program.
I thought is was 1.3x volts at max.

Try a few other programs and see what they say.

i dont kno what voltage is too high or not but hows mine looking??? sorry didnt wanna steal ur post but got me worried now lol

Yours is fine for an FX-8320.

voltages vary between chip and manufacturer. i used to run my old phenom II (a 45nm part) at almost 1.6v safely
Old cpu's like the old Pentium P5 ran on as high as 5 volts
Intel 8008 ran at around 10 volts

ryzen is a lot more efficient than bulldozer and is manufactured on a smaller node so you shouldn't expect to hit the same low voltages.

Max. vcore for the FX-8320 is 1.55v

thanks guys i do gotta start upgrading tho

i mean if it's oc'd sufficiently you can sit on an 8320 til ryzen+ which should be a fair bit better than current ryzen
unless you have a specific reason to upgrade like unable to oc or even with oc some things are too slow

V = I × R

there will be a day when we get 100 volts running through our cpu lol
