Extreme CPU power levels and speeds
You're experiencing unusual behavior with your Ryzen 5 3600x under high voltage/frequency settings. The system drops to very low power modes, operating at just 5% power with a reduced frequency of around 4300mhz. This suggests a possible issue with the BIOS or power management configuration. It's also showing elevated CPU temperatures despite these low-power states. You're considering adjusting the voltage in Ryzen Master, but you're concerned about stability and temperature. The data from hwmonitor, hwinfo, and CPU-Z indicates these anomalies. This could point to faulty hardware or a corrupted BIOS. I recommend checking your BIOS version, ensuring it's up to date, and verifying the hardware components for faults before proceeding further.
Temperatures are within acceptable ranges. The peak voltage appears to be limited to a single core spiking, which is typical. Dw, there doesn’t seem to be any major concerns unless the temperatures rise too high or the fans become noisy. Could you clarify what you mean by "High Temps"?
What are your readings? How are you checking the clocks and voltages? Ryzen adjusts the voltage automatically for low core/thread usage, which helps performance without harming your CPU. After running tests like P95 or Cinebench, you’ll see the voltage settle between 1.2 and 1.3V.
