[SOLVED] Cpu temp spike on prebuilt

[Bonetta]

I have the Hp Pavilion TG01 Desktop and my cpu temp keeps spiking and it’s bothering me a lot. In the Power Options in the Control Panel I set the max and min to 99 but that drops my clock speed to 3.5ghz which I guess is bad because my Gpu is a 1660 to and it’s clocked at 1890mhz. Should I ignore the fact that it’s spiking because it’s a prebuilt? Because I had this pc since August of 2020 and I found out that my max and min was on 100 not too long ago. If I shouldn’t ignore it can someone tell me what to do than please? Oh and one thing When the max and min is at 100 it says that it’s using 1.4V when the clock speed gets to 3.9-4.0ghz I don’t know anything about voltage so is that bad? Do I have to contact HP to tell them my temp is spiking. My cpu is Ryzen 5 3500. When I set it to 99 my temps are 59c - 66c and when it’s set to 100 temps spikes to 68c -83c like it’s spikes to 67 to 76 then to 83 then it’s lowers than spike again then lowers fast again so basically it’s spiking up than going back down and repeating it. I use HWINFO64 to monitor my temps and everything else.

Individual core temps and and will rise instantaneously in lock-step with clock speeds, load, and commensurate core voltage increases, then fall just as quickly as clock speeds are reduced...; in short, do not expect some scenario of 32C at idle, and, only 60C at load only when you run an application. WIndows and your assorted programs each have several tasks/services that kick in for a second or two, then idle themselves upon completion, which would precisely cause the 'normal' behaviour you are witnessing.

So your saying dont worry about the constant spikes since it lowers back down instantly because I already came to the conclusion of me not paying it any attention because I known about it for 3 months and and I had the pc since August 2020 and it’s been spiking since I first turned it on then. So I am gonna ignore it since it’s normal.

why did you set max and min the same?
try 50 to 100

Is it spiking to 80C when you're idling?

I have it on 5 to 100 now I see the temp spikes but they aren’t bothering me anymore

 

[rgd1101]

The issue is if your have temperature spike to 80C while you're on the desktop doing nothing.

because the OP was setting both min and max at 99 or 100 before. no time for idle

Right. Don't know how I missed that info. ;p

The temp spikes are normal with Ryzen...it's the way it works. It has an aggressive boost from idle, with one core going to max clock speed with a short spike in temperature along with it. The spike isn't that important, thermally speaking, since it's in one sensor in one area of one core only and there are dozens of temp sensors in the CPU.

Since you're using HWInfo...look at the CPU die AVERAGE temperature. That is the true thermal state of the CPU; or closer to it at least. If fans are pulsing with the spikes you need to make a custom profile to basically ignore them.

And leave the power plan on 99% minimum and 100% maximum, assuming it's the Ryzen Balanced plan, as you had it before. That's the correct setting to let the CPU manage power consumption which it can do much better than Windows can.
