Starting from the beginning, I had originally been using Gigabytes' EasyTune software for a slight overclock (from the base 3.2 to 3.4), and later decided to just set it back to default and uninstall EasyTune, because frankly, I've started having some iffy performance jumps in games and couldn't think of anything else it could be and because I started having questions about how safe it was to use. So, moving forward I got rid of it and went into Ryzen Master to see about completely returning my CPU to its stock parameters and pressed the reset button at the top of the window that was under the Current profile tab. After the system restart, however, my CPU frequency has been at around 3.45 with a constant EDC of 99-100% when in high performance power mode, and when in the balanced mode, the frequency will fluctuate constantly from numbers like 1.5 to 4.1 on every core. The EDC in this mode will also randomly fluctuate between percentages like 46% to 99%, and even the CPU voltage will jump anywhere from 0.8 to 1.33, with all of this happening while idle. Now in the present, I have double checked all these numbers with other programs such as CPU-Z and HWiN to see if it was just weird readings, but they are all the same as Ryzen Master's fluctuating numbers. So far no crashing or anything, but when after I ran Prime95 to check, the EDC has stayed at a constant 99-100% even after stopping it, regardless of power mode. After all that, my big question is whether or not this is normal, or if something is going wrong, because if it wasn't obvious before, I am quite a newbie when it comes to overclocking and how the CPU handles itself in these situations.
TL;DR - Every sensor app I have tells me that my CPU's frequencies, ratios, and voltages are just randomly fluctuating, and my EDC seems to either stay at or randomly spike into the red (96-100%) after a profile reset in Ryzen Master, all while in balanced power mode. Is this normal?
