Hi all,
I’m trying to boost the performance of two computers. The R5 2400G is currently running at 4.0Ghz with 1.4v, while the R7 2700X is at 4.3Ghz and 1.45v. Both are using stock coolers and seem stable so far. I’ve played around for a few hours without any crashes. However, I’ve observed that idle temperatures rise from low 30s when not overclocked to around 40 in idle while both systems are running at overclock levels. I’m curious if this temperature change is typical under normal idle conditions and whether there are other BIOS settings I should adjust besides CPU core ratio and voltage?

When you change the CPU settings, it runs at the frequency you specify at a certain voltage, rather than automatically increasing based on the number of cores or voltage needed for each task. This means idle temperatures tend to be higher.
