Are the temperatures and clock speeds looking excessive?
In short, your AMD 5 3600 is showing higher clock speeds when active and lower idle speeds, with occasional spikes to 68°C. These patterns seem unusual and might point to issues beyond voltage readings. The specs indicate it should run at 2x8GB RAM, 2666MHz memory, and a 650psu (bronze) power supply. It’s possible the voltage regulation or component health is affecting performance, especially since the hardware monitor suggests around 1.33V.
If your temperatures during high load are normal, you don't need to worry about idle temps.
