My 3700x setup experiences significant temperature increases, jumping from 46°C to 60°C when idle with PBO enabled. On HWInfo, average temps sit around 49.6°C, while ambient stays between 28-29°C during Call of Duty multiplayer. Build uses a 2 mesh configuration with a Noctua u12a GTX 1070.
Ryzen processors tend to spike during idle unless you lower their voltage. The load temperature seems normal, which is sufficient. Focus only on that factor.
A -0.05V offset is commonly used as a minor undervolt, often helping performance slightly without major impact. It can work well with certain Ryzen processors.
adjustment often fails with Ryzen, causing inconsistent voltage levels—sometimes lower, sometimes higher. Tiny changes don’t really help, and overall speed improvements are negligible. It’s better to set the voltage manually.
When pbo is active and you run fans at full speed, things stay normal. You can cut heat by boosting fan speed or turning off pbo. I don’t enable pbo since the performance gain doesn’t justify the extra power and heat it adds.
