Situation with Ryzen EDC!
Situation with Ryzen EDC!
Yesterday I adjusted the fan curve of my Ryzen 2600 Wraith cooler for quieter operation. The temperature spiked significantly, reaching about 82°C. Additionally, I’m experiencing an EDC issue since I’m mostly just watching videos—my CPU’s EDC stays high at 82%, 69%, etc. I changed the minimum processing threshold to 5% but it still doesn’t improve. What might be causing these problems? Also, could you recommend a suitable fan curve for the Ryzen Wraith Stealth?
Performance declines further under identical workload = increased temperatures, which is expected. Is the processor interpreting the video data? This is typical when hardware acceleration isn't active, such as with GPU decoding disabled.
Have you refreshed and updated the thermal paste? Is the cooler positioned accurately? A lower-quality cooler could cause increased temperatures.
I wasn't trying to decode a video; I was just watching one on YouTube. Sometimes it stays cool, other times it spikes high during idle. I also wondered if leaving a bit without thermal paste affects my issue—since I applied paste and removed the cooler, I’m not sure if it helped or caused the problem. If another paste spreads, you might want to try it.
