Hey everyone, I just set up my first PC and noticed my Ryzen 3700X is stuck at about 4200-4290MHz even when it’s idle. Is that normal? I haven’t adjusted any settings, drivers are fresh, and the BIOS hasn’t changed. Part list attached.

It's normal for all six cores to operate at 5GHz during idle, yet the chip still draws around 15W.

Yes, that's what you're observing in Ryzen Master.

Current chipset drivers aren't included in every BIOS. If you notice any of these options, make sure they're configured correctly. Recent updates from AMD indicate most high-voltage setups need adjustment, and they haven't fully supported the new 1usmus power plan yet. They acknowledged the timing of the BIOS changes but didn't fully back them at the moment.

Adjusted Global C-State 7 and Power Supply settings, but couldn't locate the remaining options. Performance dropped to around 4000MHz. Seek additional guidance.

Upgrade the latest chipset driver if missing (simple install available—just click and install, then restart). For better performance, consider using one of the Ryzen power plans, which offer higher clock speeds and handle workloads more efficiently. Monitor CPU voltages and temperatures with tools like CPU-Z or Ryzen Master; these programs simulate real tasks, causing spikes to 4.1–4.3GHz even when idle on certain systems.
