I'm running an Asus rog strix x470-i gaming with the most recent bios and I just dropped in a new 3600X. There seems to be a bit of a weird thing going on and I wonder if anyone else is seeing anything like it. The BIOS sets the voltage at 1.450, and HWInfo64 (latest beta, just downloaded today) seems to agree--at idle, the cores run around 4200MHz (bouncing roughly from 4000 to 4350, and sometimes dropping significantly lower, which is a really nice improvement over the first generation) with about 1.45V--the numbers fluctuate a bit over time.) But then I fire up a Prime95 Blend stress test, and it seems to settle in with around a 4100MHz with voltages of 1.332 or so. Now I know about voltage droop, but that seems like a big difference, and a pretty high idle voltage. Has anyone else observed anything like this? On my old CPU, a 1600X, I set it to 3900MHz and 1.375V and it pretty much stayed there.
Any thoughts? I haven't seen a lot of reviews yet but nobody seems to be talking about OC yet.
