The high-end Ryzen 3600 uses a 1.8V power supply voltage.
Hello. I set up a new setup using an Asus X570-P, a Ryzen 3600 and a DeepCool Gammaxx GTE v2. I kept my UEFI on its standard configuration and during stress tests the voltage usually reached between 1.35v and 1.39v, which seems quite high, particularly given the stock level of 1.10v. Could this be due to the turbo boost settings? Might my motherboard have an overclocking option enabled by default? Is this voltage actually typical for the CPU to operate at? Most of my knowledge on this topic comes from older guides like Lynnfield, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Intel releases.
I focused on stress testing various systems. The software I'm using for monitoring is [insert software name]. Did you mention the VID value—was it intended to be a specific setting?
Running AIDA64 with CPU, FPU, cache and memory stress tests active. 2. I'm verifying AIDA64 results and Ryzen Master data. Also noticed in my UEFI the CPU voltage is near 1.35v. 3. In AIDA64 I see "CPU Core" voltage, while in UEFI it's labeled "CPU Voltage"; I'm not sure what VID stands for.
Typically, the auto voltage is structured based on how PBO functions. If you're concerned, you can choose a fixed voltage, but you'll avoid entering C states and idle voltages. In my opinion, it's better to keep it on auto.
It can reach up to 1.47V during minimal activity, which may increase readings when idle. VID is the frequency the CPU requests from the board based on workload, but it doesn’t consider voltage droop. Under heavy load, voltage will drop noticeably below VID. Hwinfo64 in sensor mode displays VID and core voltage (SVI2, on-chip sensing). You might reduce the voltage slightly using negative offsets, but always test each run—excessive adjustments can hurt performance even if frequency stays the same.
