They suggested Ryzen Master instead of Hwinfo since the latter activates the Ryzen boost.

Check if it's genuine first. Using Ryzen Master for monitoring is common and safe, but avoid relying solely on Hwinfo unless you need detailed diagnostics.
I'm focusing on performance metrics rather than temperature readings. The HWInfo tool is detecting rapid spikes in the Ryzen 3xxx series due to its quick boost response.
Use HWmonitor instead of Ryzen Master. I don't like Ryzen Master—it's useless. My 3200G and 2600 didn't have issues with HWmonitor.
To my knowledge atleast regarding Zen 2 architecture any form of monitoring software will trick the CPU into thinking there is load and make the CPU boost. This is how I understood what AMD said and how my Ryzen 3600x seems to operate with monitoring software running. If you don't constantly need to have it running I advice you to call it up whenever needed, alternatively you can try to reduce polling time and see if it behaves any different compared to a high polling rate.
Really? I opened OpenHardwareMonitor because I thought it was neat to see CPU and GPU temperatures on the tray. I assumed it was a lightweight app. The CPU temperature goes up but stays under 50 unless I’m doing heavy browsing or Reddit/YouTube at high speed, then it spikes to around 63 and drops quickly. It’s fast and cool, but how do you even notice these changes if you can’t properly track them? You don’t know if the program is causing the peaks or something else.
I own a 3950x unit. When I first installed it, I was shocked by how bothersome the fans were for simple tasks. I learned that I could adjust a flat curve to keep noise below 650-700 RPM, then increase speed past 65°C. So far, I haven’t played modern titles, but my Cinebench scores never exceeded 65°C—only briefly hit 68°C in one test without triggering the fans. It’s now much quieter. I also updated the BIOS. I believe everything is functioning properly. The fan model is Noctua Chromax Black, 15. I think the heatsink is large enough to dissipate rapid spikes quickly before the fans activate. My main issue now is the three front Silent Wing 3 120mm fans producing a low-frequency rumbling noise above 800 RPM. They run at 700 RPM, but when I push it higher, they make a subtle rattle that’s still bothersome.
Haha that steady fan noise was really distracting at first, but now it's almost silent. Last week someone came over and I was sitting at the PC when they asked if it was on. My cooling system isn't great either, so I really needed a cooler. You mentioned Silent Wings 3 (135mm) with my CPU cooler—can you believe I barely hear it even when it's running loud?
