3900X Stock getting really hot what do I do?
Hey, I see you're facing some challenges with your AMD setup. It sounds like the BIOS and cooling system might be conflicting. The HWmonitor showing core temperatures but not a full CPU temp could mean it's not displaying all data correctly. Check your BIOS settings to ensure temperature monitoring is enabled for both CPU and GPU. For the noise issue, try adjusting fan speeds or switching to a quieter cooler. Regarding the overheating warning at 80°C in Blender, make sure the cooler is properly seated and clean dust from vents. As for the voltage reading, your HWmonitor might be showing per-core ratings, but you can cross-check with the BIOS or manufacturer specs. You may want to tweak fan curves in BIOS and consider lowering the CPU voltage slightly if possible. Let me know what you try!
Yeah i think the readings were bugged, but it says 1.44V on CPU VCORE. The 3900X comes with a Wraith RGB cooler, which I am using temporarily. This sounds dumb, maybe its the fact that i never owned a AMD cpu before either but where do i check more CPU core temps? I will have a look for the MCE setting, is that supposed to be disabled or Enabled? I also have a Noctua D15S but I bought it at a time where AM4 AMD cpus were not a thing and I am currently waiting for the free brackets that Noctua sent me.
mce works well but often increases voltage excessively unless you're okay with that. Depending on the manufacturer, it might be too aggressive, so I suggest turning it off and testing manually. The nhu15 is solid though—it's a bit pricey, but if you're on a tighter budget, the nhu12 is a better option.
You can ask me to download Ryzen Master and review everything once more. The HWMonitor readings seem off, especially at 1.8v where the CPU might fail instantly. Also, confirm you've installed the newest chipset driver—it introduces a new power profile that optimizes Windows performance. https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/...t-am4/x570
You've just set it up and noticed some performance quirks. It seems the CPU keeps boosting and increasing fan speeds, which is really annoying due to the noise. The lower power save mode helps reduce fan speed, but it doesn’t optimize CPU usage when running apps. This behavior isn’t uncommon for AMD systems, especially with BIOS updates. Your current settings are likely fine, but you might need a more stable cooling solution or better thermal management for sustained performance.
