I experienced high temperatures on the Ryzen 5 3600, so I lowered the PPT and undervolted. Undervolting doesn’t void the warranty, so should I reset PPT to normal? No changes were made to clock speed or other settings, but my cores stay at 4GHz with temps near 75°C under load and around 45-50°C when idle.
Avoid fixing the cooling problem to ensure normal operation.
75 degrees under stress is fine. Be concerned only when it exceeds 85°C on your Ryzen. Below that range is safe.
The 75 followed lowering the PPT and reducing voltage. Prior to this, it reached its thermal threshold.
Understood. Reducing PPT is safe and won’t affect your warranty, according to @ShrimpBrime. Lowering it will keep all cores operating at 4GHz as expected.
You can also employ software to adjust your cooler's fan curve and swap in extra noise for better performance. It's likely the factory fan curve doesn't reach full speed at 100%.
When using the stock cooler, it should keep temperatures within an acceptable range even with the entire core loaded. I’d definitely follow Energycore’s advice by running the fans at full capacity and making sure the cooler is securely fastened—aim for a firm stop on the screws without over-tightening them.
