I can lower it a little bit more to 1.075 V but that’s unlikely to make drastic changes. So, I lowered to VCore on ASRock UEFI by 0.1 V which means the target VCore is 1.0875 V instead of the default 1.1875 V. Since Radeon R9 290 idle power consumption is rather inconsistent, I put out the card and switch it with Geforce GT 710 which turns out to much more consistent in power consumption. The specification of my system is as below : CPUĬooler Master CMStorm Sentinel Advance II I will measure the power consumption on 3 states : Idle, Load CPU-Z Stress Test, and Load Handbrake Test. I am not going to do any benchmark test here, I am just testing the processor power consumption and see how far low I can take it when undervolted. So, Rywill not likely become a bottleneck in gaming with this old Graphics Card. Mainly because I am still using a soon to be 4-year-old AMD Radeon R9 290. Gaming performance might seem disappointing for some people, but I am not going to talk about that. This processor isn’t going to beat Intel Core i7 6900K, but it is still a very fast processor. This is a nice and cheap Octa-Core Processor running at 3.2 GHz on all cores with precision boost enabled. I finally got my hands on AMD Ryzen 7 1700. Update : I did a new test with lower voltage and AMD Wraith Spire Cooler
