Did you opt for genuine TIM or just the dull grey paste at the bottom of the HSF? Try some better TIM, make sure your cooler is set up right, and perform a stress test. The idle temperatures will naturally be high by default. AMD maintains fast clock speeds to ensure smooth performance even with lighter tasks. As long as you stay well below the maximum temperature under load, everything should work fine.
The voltage seems elevated, which might be contributing to the overheating. The 3000 series tends to struggle with this issue. Consider reducing the voltage to around 1.1 or 1.2 and monitor the temperatures. Perform a stress test to verify stability.
Some recent BIOS versions still contain flaws. If you've configured any of these options, revert them or use an older BIOS. Consider version 1.7 with ABBA 1.0.0.3 as suggested by others—it might resolve the problem. The issue could relate to CPU mounting onto the cooler. Voltage fluctuations between 1.3-1.45V are typical for individual Ryzen 3000 cores, but if they consistently exceed those levels without allowing the cores to rest, it may indicate a deeper concern. At idle, the 1.3-1.4V average should reflect the overall core voltage, not just individual ones. Check HWInfo64 or Ryzen Master for detailed data. If the above doesn't help, share screenshots of system behavior under load and idle. Exit benchmarking or power down the system if temperatures exceed 85-90°C. Note: I don’t experience these problems, but I sometimes notice elevated BIOS temps around 50°C—obviously, your concerns extend beyond this.
I placed an order for a Mugen 5 Rev B cooler, expecting delivery by Friday. This evening I tested FarCry 5 on it, and temperatures stayed in the low 80s while gaming...I’m holding back on sending something that hot; it seems his parents keep the place cozy during Texas summers. For now, I’ll check the settings myself.
I just looked at the settings and switched C-states from disabled to enabled, along with the PSU idle control. I didn’t find the other options. It’s odd that my BIOS temperatures and Ryzen Master readings don’t match up. In BIOS idle it’s showing 63°C, but when I boot Windows it’s 50°C. RM also displays lower voltages, fluctuating between 1.0 and 1.2, and sometimes spiking to 1.4 during background tasks.
Hopefully a better CPU cooler will help stabilize things. The case fits the system well and provides consistent airflow. In RM it doesn’t look unusually high—maybe only slightly above idle peaks, and CPUs don’t enter sleep states under normal conditions.
Suggest some tweaks to the voltage settings. My BIOS sleep time is roughly 45-50C in a room around 35C, even with a basic aftermarket cooler. I’m using a safe OC of 4.05GHz, all cores running just under 1.2V (lowered on an older BIOS version). That’s why my Asus board defaults to supplying more than the stock voltage.
