Hi guys

Every now and again I switch on Ryzen master and notice that the CPU power frequently goes red. I just processed some data and it was on 113.280 W.

Is this a problem?

Kind regards, Andrew

Below is what I have.

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Ryzen 5950x
128GB Dual-Channel Corsair Vengeance @ 1599MHz (16-20-20-38) 4 x 32GB stick
Micro-Star International Co. Ltd. MEG X570 UNIFY (MS-7C35) (AM4)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (MSI)
7452GB Seagate ST8000DM004-2CX188 (SATA ) 36 °C
465GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB (Unknown (SSD))

No problem....that motherboard has a VRM with more than sufficient power handling capability to keep even that CPU running smoothly at any power levels it could draw. The processor has a PPT (Package Power Tracking) limit of 142W (at stock settings) and it's well under that too. Don't confuse it's TDP rating (105W) with electrical power draw as TDP is a highly synthetic measure of the amount of heat a cooling solution should be able to dissipate for it to operate within published performance parameters.

Just keep an eye on CPU temperature to make sure it's properly cooled. Ideally you'd like it to stay under 80C (to keep but it boosting well) but it's considered normal and is designed to hit up to 90C in heavy processing. AMD's told us so.

And BTW...unless you like to do competition overclocking I'd suggest uninstalling RyzenMaster. A much better utility to use for system monitoring is HWInfo64. It doesn't install a service that can actually degrade system performance as the RM service can.
