The chip with the temperature sensor location can safely reach 95°C, but it is limited to 85°C where it automatically reduces its output to stay within that limit (it won’t speed up further, just maintain steady performance without adding more than 30W to achieve another 50MHz). Everything is under control.
30w is typical for Ryzen CPUs during idle, doesn't fluctuate much between 0.3% and 0.6%, which confirms it's truly idle. The temperature is around 42°C after a game, usually staying between 33-36°C in low loads—this suggests a possible fan issue or improper cooler mounting. It’s best to remove Ryzen Master as it can interfere with voltage and temperature controls.
Remove Ryzen Master, reinitialize BIOS, fetch hwinfo64, and verify temperatures once more.
