It might seem unclear, but I’ll do my best to clarify some points. From the time I power on my PC until I shut it down, it sounds like it’s running a stress test. This could explain why the temperatures were high and suggest the temps weren’t ideal for a resting system. It’s confusing, but I tried to make it as clear as possible.
Another issue is that Speccy isn’t displaying my temperatures the way it did with the different CPU. I’m unsure how to restore its ability to show my CPU temps.
I reviewed the details and understood what you were looking for. I made an error adjusting the BIOS settings, but it didn’t cause system instability. My settings and idle temperatures are actually normal—around 45°C is perfectly fine. I realized my CPU wasn’t always running at full voltage; in fact, its average core voltage was below 1V, indicating it was idle most of the time. I only discovered this recently. Thanks for your feedback!
I'm a bit late, but for those asking the same thing, you can lower the CPU voltage to achieve better temps and performance with RM or in BIOS, though I favor RM. Clock speed options: 4.35GHz, 4.3GHz, 4.2GHz, 4.1GHz, 4.0GHz, 3.9GHz, 1.10GHz. For a R5 3600, pick 4.1GHz with 1.10GHz or 4.2GHz with 1.17GHz, but I prefer 4.1GHz for clearer temperature differences. In RM, go to Advanced → Profile One → Manual → CCD → red dot appears → click it, change speed to your choice, adjust voltage to match, click Apply and verify stability (should drop ~10°C).
