03-06-2016, 08:51 PM #11Well when everything was on DEFAULT ( first week when i bought/build the PC ) the CPU was working at 1.35-1.4V as the other said above and then the CPU fan was was ramping up and down as those spikes were in voltage and temp so every minute or so the CPU fan was ramping to 100% then going down ( read that this is a normal behavior of Ryzen 3000 series ) thats why i disabled PBO which was on AUTO on Default ....
That's correct. It offers near-top performance without needing a high overclock, though it comes with the drawback of a noisy fan. The fan will adjust its speed if it can't match the processor, preventing overheating, but you'll notice it gets louder when the boost mode is active.

03-26-2016, 05:51 PM #13I reviewed the ASRock site and found the latest BIOS. I updated to the newest version and set the default BIOS settings. The CPU boost and voltage spikes are now at 1.46 max. According to the HWInfo64 data, this is within safe limits. The average performance is around 1.3x the base clock speed, but it shouldn’t significantly affect longevity if used properly. It’s a good choice given your investment, though you should monitor it closely.

03-30-2016, 06:50 AM #15Well the CPU spikes to 1.46V as its shown in the MAXIMUM part of HWinfo64 but avarage is 1.3V gaming so idk if have to be concerned or not Everything is on default now C-State - Auto - PBO - Auto
DD It seems typical.ChibiWolf39
03-31-2016, 07:55 AM #18I agree, your insights are valuable. Here’s a suggestion: consider refining your ideas further for clearer impact.
There was a notion that temperatures above 75°C could have reduced the lifespan of chips. No concrete figures were linked to this idea. Reports exist of running chips at 95°C for extended periods without problems, though voltage was never discussed. The focus remained solely on temperature. If performance drops significantly due to tech progress within the next decade, does that matter? There are still working units in the basement of my building, reportedly functional despite their sluggishness.
Thanks! I’ll run the CPU at stock default BIOS with boost enabled. Everything seems fine—still under warranty. The 75C temp fluctuates, only briefly spikes before settling back around 65 for gaming. Idle voltage drops to about 0.977V–1V with a 36°C rise.
