   No really, my mind is blown right now. AMD disables Pstates when you overclock? What kind of goofy crap is that?

	Well, 3.9ghz "stable" ( can't 100% confirm yet but appears so) @ 1.375v. I am watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Tw-wcT7o4 For Pstate overclocking as well as trying to understand https://hardforum.com/threads/ryzen-pstate-overclocking-method-calculation-and-calculator.1928648/ 's spread sheet. The Hardcopy guide is easy to follow but then loses me at Vcore. "Change your offset voltage by adding or subtracting" adding or subtracting....what? Also, this article contradicts the video. In the video he says put it all on auto, and then you go input numbers for Pstate which will controll Vcore I presume. The article says to " change your offset" ( in a very vague manner I might add) and shows pictures doing it. So, A little confused. My default vcore is 1.2375. so offset would be + 0.14. But do I leave vcore on auto...or use offset? Contradicting info dang it. I tried following the video. at idle, CPU is at 1500mhz, doesnt change under load ( this is bthe bug again with using fixed vcore)and vcore is at a static 1.375...so much for Pstates. Also there is no option for minimum proc frequency in the AMD balanced power plan. Edit: I learn AMD disables Pstates when you overclock. WTF is this? No really....WTF is this? That's absurd.

	Make damn sure you are using the latest versions available of monitoring apps. Many had issue with proper reporting concerning Ryzen in previous revisions. Too. ONLY use one monitoring app at a time. The chip responsible does NOT at all like more than one app accessing it. Been that way for decades now. Edited by wardog - 14 Jul 2017 at 1:18pm

	Also, totally incorrect sensor readings. example: Realbench shows 20. some odd for "CPU usage" and zero for temperature. HWinfo64 shows 0.994 for VID, etc. A lot of incorrect numbers on a lot of software. I still say Ryzen wasn't ready.

	I meant CPU clock speed. was a 1500mhz. Solved by using offset vcore ( a reply on reddit told me there is a bug with using fixed vcore and offset fixes it. I scored like....420 in Cinebench CPU test with this "bug". Even with out this "bug" I havnt solved miserable benchmark scores. at 3.8ghz and 2900mhz ram I'm scoring 90,000 system score in Realbench. 1255 Cinebench CPU score. I just don't get it lol.

	I've NEVER seen mem on Ryzen post at an actual 1500.

	Where are you seeing this 1500? Are you sure that 1500 doesn't represent 3000 in DDR speak?

	Ugh. Why is it sitting at 1500mhz? I have 1.36v atm with level 3 LLC ( 1.35vcore in bios), and 3800mhz is set in bios.... Coolnquiet is off, global cstates are off. What the heck causes this?

	And FYI. There is actually no "Default' procODT value as it is derived from many variables present.

	VTT is the memory controller(IMC) voltage. AMDs past(??) weak link.
