I recently installed my new AMD system and this was my first build. I wanted to know how voltage management is typically handled. Core Performance Boost usually sets voltages to 1.4/1.5 at idle, but I noticed they dropped significantly after disabling it. Since I don’t overclock much now, seeing those voltages was quite surprising for me.

1.5V operates safely during idle conditions.

You can always adjust a 0.1 offset, which makes a big difference on my 3900x during idle. It helps increase performance and provides better boosts when temperatures stay stable.

Typical behavior is that the Ryzen runs smoothly at high voltages with minimal current. When you apply a workload, voltage decreases and current usage rises.

Offsets are useful, but keep in mind that not all CPUs handle -0.1V offsets reliably. It’s not really important anyway.

Do they have a valid explanation for their high idling levels?
