Ended up using the media creation tool directly from the old pc and that worked!

Im trying to reset windows 10 on my old pc for use by another family member, but ive ran into an annoying problem i cant seem to find a solution to. When i try to reset it and selecting remove all files it loads the thing up to 100% and restarts after that and boots into windows and says "there...

Yup sounds normal, ive got r5 3600 idles around 41c-46c and the second i move mouse etc it goes up by 2c-4c and thats the beaty of ryzen the clocks boosts on "Bursty loads" such as opening a program or navigating around the OS etc.

Have you tried manually setting it to 3200?

You need to understand that "idle" isnt actually idle because windows is doing alot of things that uses cpus resources thus the spikes in cpu usage. Also running a virus and malware scan (windows defender and malwarebytes) is a good idea. Full specs lists What games are you experiencing the...

HWmonitor is probably your problem programs like it wake up ryzen cores and that causes the temp spike that isnt really accurate i recommend ryzen master and hwinfo64. And few cores boosting sounds just about right for windows background stuff.

I highly recommend you DO NOT under or up voltage the cpu because that in some cases have caused the cpu to degrade at an increased rate ive got R5 3600 and went trough the same confusion about the voltages and believe me its all normal im idling on avrg 1,375-1,450 and it dips below 0,9 and it...

60c in bios sounds odd because there shouldnt be any "bursty workloads" in bios that could cause the avrg temp value of 60c, but in windows i wouldnt be surprised if you got avrg 60c on stock cooler because the way ryzen works is that it boosts on bursty workloads aka the small stuff like...

Sounds just like my R5 3600 and i was confused at first but yes that sounds perfectly normal the temps shouldnt spike as much on load like playing a game or running a stress test etc because ryzen boosts on "bursty" workloads to higher clokcspeeds. But if your load temps are above 80c at...

Okay so i had to power cycle the monitor (unplugging the power cable and waiting for the light to go out so around 30 seconds) now works but i had a look at other threads around all around and people are saying that this issue is pretty common with rtx cards and will most likely keep happening...

Oh yeah and my monitor is asus vg248

So i went into the bios to familiarize myself with it better without changing anything there was a prompt similar to what ryzen master has when i went into the amd overclocking side of things i pressed accept made sure that everything was like they should they were and i continued off to exit...

Also you might want to upgrade your memory to 3200/3600 because ryzen benefits from faster memory more than others. Also whats your PSU?

You will need a bios update to make your motherboard compatible with new new cpu and the R5 3600X - RTX 2070 Super pair is great i have almost the same just the non x version of the cpu and the performance is great.

Honestly from what ive gathered from multiple people its not recommended nor necessary to manually up or downclock the cpu let it do its own thing.
