use the zenstates.py script to list out the factory p-states.Perfect. Stupid question - how do I work out the decimal values in terms of voltage?
Code:
CPUs: 1
CPUID: 00A20F10
Package Type: 2
P0 - Enabled - FID = 94 - DID = 8 - VID = 48 - Ratio = 37.00 - vCore = 1.10000
P1 - Enabled - FID = 8C - DID = A - VID = 58 - Ratio = 28.00 - vCore = 1.00000
P2 - Enabled - FID = 84 - DID = C - VID = 68 - Ratio = 22.00 - vCore = 0.90000hex values are 0 to 15 (16 in total) so 48 to 58 has 16 steps. So 0.1v (1.1v - 1v) is 16 steps (58 - 48) == 6.25mV/step.
So if 48 is 1.1v, 50 would be 1.1v + 0.625*2 = 1.1125v
there was also a modified python script (in this thread) that you can use which would also print out what's mV being set instead of printing out hex.
thank you thank you thank you! you will likely stop me blowing up either of my ES chips. <3

Regarding the EPYC Rome overclocking: A while back, smb. said, that the shown clock frequencies are not the actuall ones. So I am wondering: When I use the overclocking tool and the taskmanager shows 3,45GHz, is that the actual frequency?
Task manager isn't even reliable anyways, it doesn't appreciate that cores can run at different speeds. I would use HWinfo64 to inspect individual clock speeds, but then one must also consider clock stretching.
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive 2 - SkatterBencher
Precision Boost Overdrive 2, is AMD's overclocking toolkit to adjust the parameters governing the Precision Boost 2 algorithm.

Clock Stretching is a safety feature that is built into all AMD Ryzen CPUs. When the CPU thinks the actual voltage is too low to sustain a stable system at a given frequency, it will reduce the clock period until the voltage is back at the acceptable level.
The result of clock stretching is that while the system will report the Core Frequency as usual, the effective clock will be lower. So, since a lower amount of clock cycles occur the performance will also be lower.
Lastly there was some issue about an clock speed offset or what was it, 800 MHz?, for the 64 core SKUs with overclocking using this tool, but I actually only have 32 core models so no experience with that.
Thank you very much, for that detailed explanation. Is there an easier way to detect Clock Stretching than suggested in the link?
Run a Benchmark. Comapre the result devided by clock to a known zen2 result.
you have to draw a clock cb-score curve chart.
if the clock rises but the cb-score stucks, the core is dropping clocks.
this behavior was also reported by der8auer, ifsome part the ALU is not ready the core drops clocks to wait for completeness operations.
in addition to this: the core clock is made by the BLCK * multiplicator - but the multiplication unit is a complex circuit and can not generate all thinkable clocks.
Yea when overclocking theres lots of wierd heaviours, like if you push it too high it starts suddenly performing worse, and only way to recover would be a reboot. displayed mhz when pushed too high does not reflect the performance, same clock usually performs better the more voltage you can manage to give it but VRM overheating will very quickly limit your OC. even with good vrm cooling you might trip the board OCP causing hard shutdowns etc
highest ive ever managed to run a dual 64c is 32.5 multi 1.18v and that got me to 100k cb23, but that was with watercooling the vrm+cpus and i think the system load was around 1000w

Not open anymore?I see you were all waiting for the project to become open-source, so here it is: FIFARenderZ/EPYC-Rome-Overclock

anyone found a solution to this problem yet?I just upgraded to 7.2 this week, and I just checked and am seeing the same issue. I don't see any errors, just nothing happens. I guess I shouldn't be quick to upgrade the other box.
have you tried using the commands manually as root to see if they work? i think i resorted to that at one point when i couldnt get the scripts to work.(not using promox but a newer linux kernel)
