Issue with Ryzen 5 5500 running at incorrect voltage during setup
You recently created a new build but it doesn’t boot properly. You keep receiving warnings about the CPU exceeding its voltage limit. In BIOS you see the voltage listed as 2.432V, yet your CPU only drops below ~1.8V when running. Any higher and the system fails to start. I’ve updated the BIOS before, but it didn’t help. Temperatures are normal. This issue has been mentioned in past posts about CPUs, motherboards, and memory.
The temperatures stayed below 66°C most of the time, usually around 50°C or less according to the bios. The only peak came after several system restarts because I was adjusting the voltage settings. I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the sensor. Gore warning: I attempted to set the CPU voltage to 1.55V, which matched the maximum allowed by the bios, but after a restart I was told the CPU was running just over 3V.
I changed the CMOS battery to one I thought was functional, but it didn’t help. The 1.35V should be around 2.7V. When I input voltage, it roughly doubles. I tried different values to figure out the process. The numbers I gave are half of what the BIOS shows.
It seems the problem was with the motherboard, probably due to a defective sensor.
