Hello, a friend shared his asrock ab350m-hdv and ryzen 3 1200 with me. I've been attempting to overclock both RAM and CPU to reduce the bottleneck on my old gtx980. I achieved 3.80GHz with 1.4 vcore (it doesn’t actually exceed 1.37v during stress tests with prime95, temperatures are near 80°C). For RAM, I got 2400mhz at 1.35v DRAM (xypx 8gb 2133mhz) with 1.35v DRAM. Now I’m wondering if the readings on HWMonitor, especially with the current OC settings, sometimes show a peak of 240-260A on "CPU (node 0)"—which usually doesn’t go beyond 82-83A OC and 60A at stock. Should I lower some voltages or is this just a result of OC issues? Thanks in advance, and sorry for any unclear English.

The initial reading is reasonable at around 113W. The second reading would essentially be a meltdown, likely due to measurement inaccuracies.

For Ryzen systems, I believe using Ryzen Master for monitoring is ideal.
