Ryzen 5 3600 doing Ryzen 5 3600 things
Hey everyone, I've been facing some issues with my Ryzen 5 3600 lately. First, it keeps trying to overclock constantly, often reaching 1.4v and temperatures fluctuating between 41°C and 61°C depending on what the CPU needs. I usually have to adjust the BIOS settings manually to revert it to auto mode, but I can't seem to find a way to disable it. Second, my Ryzen Balanced Power Plan is missing. I've checked forums about this change and am trying to follow the instructions, though I'm still confused. I also attempted an update via Ryzen Master, but nothing came up. The only fix I've made so far is installing a new air cooler. Any advice or help would be really appreciated.

40 to 60 degrees is acceptable. Ryzen can be a bit unpredictable with temperatures since it tends to increase a lot. Keep it on auto and watch temps during heavy use. If you're below 90 (and 80 if your cooler is better), it's okay—idle temps aren't a big concern. Also, using the balanced power plan in Windows works just as well as the Ryzen processor.
I used to see steady temperatures around 40-48°C before, with cores not getting as hot as they are now (they stayed under 1000 mHz during idle and browsing, but now jump to 3000+ mHz without any reason). I’m still unsure what’s happening in the BIOS because it keeps trying to turn on overclocking.
