3950X - Temperature & Efficiency
I just wanted to note the current readings with CPU offset at -0.5V. Temperature stays steady around 47°C without load and jumps to about 68-70°C under load. That’s exactly what you were pointing out. All cores are running at roughly 4.2Ghz. With the AC off, temps reach ~58°C without load and ~78°C under load—still within limits. The -1V offset keeps the CPU at 3.9-4Ghz without extra cooling gains, so -0.5V is the best choice now. I still plan to check Otto_iii’s advice but haven’t had time to fully grasp Ryzen Master or its overclocking features. Previously, my 82°C under load was likely due to poor airflow in the room without AC. Once I opened the space, it dropped quickly from 82°C to 76°C. It seems the fans are just overwhelmed by heat. Thanks for all your tips. Cheers and Happy New Year!
