In other words cripple your chip to its base clock. If you going to do that why not just buy an Intel, it will be faster. Also, you can create a Power Plan where you set Advance Settings to 99% on Processor Power Management ==> Maximum Processor State. Then you can enable or disable PBO in...

How about NewEgg, 22% 1- & 2-Egg for Gigabyte vs 7% for MSI?

Looks like the spikes are normal. It is the way the motherboard fan control software responds that seems to be the issue. Amazon gave me an RMA for the Gigabyte X570 Master, so I am going to give the MSI MEG ACE a try as they advertise that they smooth out the spikes. Yet to be seen if that...

Why do people keep thinking a better fan will make a difference when the temperature spike lasts less than a second? I doubt even a better heat sink will absorb that much heat (which is likely in 1 core and less than 1/12 of the surface area of the chip) in less than a second.

One thing I did find out about half an hour ago is that the AMD Wraith Prism fan that my 3900x uses has a "fan overclocking control" and what it does is changes the max speed from a fast 2,650 RPM, to a finger chopping 3,600 RPM. Mine came with that switch in that position. It was especially...

Maybe so, but why aren't more people complaining about the fan RPM constantly changing? AMD must know it too, so why aren't they using a moving average on Tctl so that it doesn't spike. After all, there is NO way ANY cooling system is going to lower a 15 degree temperature spike in under 1...

I have messaging with Gigabyte tech support (because at first I thought they were corrupting the Tctl values that they were reading) and am still waiting for response from AMD since I contacted them yesterday when I found that people have been having this problem with other brand motherboard...

If it is not a defect, then why don't most people have the problem? You are seriously wrong if you think most people go into their BIOS and set a fan curve that says from 50 to 75 degrees have a fixed fan speed so their fan doesn't speed up every 10 seconds when the Tctl jumps from 50 to 65...

Ryzen balanced mode or even power saver mode doesn't prevent it. I think it is either defective CPU or defective motherboard.

This thread is about temperature spikes. The CCD chip temperatures don't change. It is the Tctl temperature that spikes 10 - 15 degrees (18 to 27 F) for a fraction of a second. NO COOLING system will handle that!!! It drops back down to the CCD chip temperature within a second and water nor...

My question is, why with very little software installed beyond MS Office 2010 and Gigabyte's motherboard software (and all processes killed) is Tctl/Tdie, which matches CCD 1 & 2 Tdie except during a spike, jumping by 10 to 15 degrees Celcius for a second every few seconds? Even if there is...
