High stock temperatures for Ryzen 5 3600 under heavy load
High stock temperatures for Ryzen 5 3600 under heavy load
I'm not sure if anyone will actually read this, but I've made it work! After spending many hours reviewing forum discussions and YouTube tutorials, I found out that a Ryzen 5 at default settings can push the CPU up to 1.45 volts while running at stock speeds. This is clearly too high for its base clock. What I did was lower the voltage to a safe level to keep things cool and performance stable. Here are my findings: baseline data (stock) shows clock speed of 3.875Ghz, voltage 1.450V, idle temps between 50-60°C. Under load, temps reached 92-98°C. Cinebench R20 Multi Threaded scores were 3116 for 3.8GHz OC, 3412 for 3.8GHz 3x, 3572 for 4.0GHz OC, and 3687 for 4.1GHz OC. I managed to get more performance with lower heat, even using the stock cooler. If anyone else faces similar issues, this might help.
