Check the recommended Vcore voltages for your Ryzen 7950x to ensure safety.
I just want to confirm if the voltages displayed on the VID (Max) of WHMonitor are within acceptable limits. After searching for days, I haven’t found much beyond the usual warning about Vsoc staying under 1.3 with no input. I’m concerned about the system’s lifespan based on this information. Here’s what I have: Windows 11 /64 Pro AMD Ryzen 9 7950x 4501 MHz (1.250 VSoC), AsRock X670E Pro RS 2x 16G Trident 6000MHz RAM (1.300V), Samsung M.2 980 NZXT C1200w PSU, and AMD AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.0.0.7 (installed 07/27/2023). This is my first top-tier setup in about ten years—please treat me as a beginner. That’s fine; I’m trying to learn.
Consider avoiding HWMonitor, particularly with recent AMD processors. It often malfunctions and displays inaccurate readings if left running too long (it might falsely report a speed around 10GHz). Opt for HWInfo or Ryzen Master to track sensor data on Ryzen systems. Don't rely on VID to check voltage; VID reflects the CPU's demand, not its actual performance. This tends to be more relevant for Intel chips, though significant discrepancies can still occur between what the CPU asks and what the motherboard supplies. If the maximum voltage your CPU receives is around 1.425V, it's safe. AMD designs can typically handle up to about 1.5V VCore without issues and will increase accordingly during normal use. You're comfortably within acceptable ranges.
Reviewed the situation and found average active clock above 1.300. Tested with alerts, unsure where to focus but it triggers roughly every 10 seconds. [Note: Oops, that was the VID issue again]. Where should I look for the VSoC? Also, is the 1.300 threshold set on CPU VDDCR_SOC voltage? I double-checked Power settings but missed it was in watts. Right now I feel older than ever. Sorry for the mix-up and thanks for your assistance.
Don't rely on alerts when data isn't reliable. As noted, HWInfo64 and Ryzen Master display the details.
