CPU stays extremely hot even when idle. It reads 2V according to CPU-Z and reaches 70-80°C. Both CPU-Z and RYZEN MASTER show varying voltages? The RYZEN master claims it stays at 1,325V continuously. When the system boots, it has failed twice and reaches up to 99°C! This seems very unusual. Also, stress testing with RYZEN MASTER only reached 90°C, which is even more surprising. What might be causing this issue? I've updated the BIOS and drivers, rechecked the cooler connections.
If your CPU was actually operating at 2V, it would likely be nonfunctional. Update your BIOS and chipset drivers, check temperatures and voltages with HWiNFO64 or Ryzen Master, consider using the Balanced power plan if you haven't already, and reinstall the OS if your Windows version is outdated. Replace your power supply right away—those orange Corsair VS labels are dangerous.
If it shuts down immediately, that indicates thermal cut-off. Replace your CPU, reapply TIM, and verify your cooler is properly seated and connected to the correct header on the motherboard. For voltage issues, rely solely on HWInfo64 or Ryzen Master for monitoring.
You're asking about what "clear CMOS" means in this context. It likely refers to the system's power-on state being properly configured, ensuring stable voltage readings. The hsinfo tool is showing voltages below 1,325, which aligns with expected values, but you're concerned about the CPU's athermal limit at 115V. All relevant data has been shared for clarity.
