7920x Good R15 Score?

Did want to try 4.7 or even 4.8 but won't even boot at 4.8 and 4.7 crashes as soon as you load it up. Tried 1.35v and still does it. Perhaps my chip is just limited to 4.6

Those R15 scores are slightly less than a stock 3900X and with a name like 'RyzenJunkie' I would've thought you might have saved yourself £300 and gone that route ;) (unless you got it 2nd hand)

Seems about right.

Do regret selling my 7920x a while back. Delidded ran cooler than my 9900k :mad:

Only thing I guess is the power draw as the 7920x was using something silly like 400w at those speeds :p

Think I had mine at 4.9ghz, around 3200 points in cinebench r15. Was a decent chip though.

Yeah delidding it made a big difference on my chip. Loads cooler and will do 4.7 now. Temps before on this @4.6ghz all cores and 1.3v were 104 degrees MC and 75 degrees SC on cinebench R20 with fans on high.

Now they are 80 degrees MC and 52 SC with fans on low (almost silent).

Haven't tried getting it stable at 4.8 and beyond yet as been doing mega hours at work but it definitely wouldnt do 4.8 at the voltage I have 4.7 at so will experiment with voltage on Monday when I'm off. What is the max safe voltage for the 7920x?
