Hello, I recently installed a new PC and it's functioning well overall. However, when I power on the monitor, I see elevated voltage and idle temperatures on my 7950X. I leave it running overnight and it's placed in a cool basement with a Phantek NV7 case and multiple fans. I'm using CrossHairs Extreme (latest BIOS). Any advice or observations would be really helpful.

Refers to a 7950X instead of 5950X. Since the beginning of Zen 3, idle temperatures like these are typical for this architecture thanks to PBO and core boosts. No issues detected here—focus on load temperatures. Consider using Hwinfo64 or Ryzen Master; Hwmonitor isn’t as precise.

When idle, 57°C is quite elevated in a cool space. How’s your cooling performing? For a more accurate test, try Cinebench.
