[SOLVED] Is the Ryzen 5 3600 at 1.4 volts normal on auto bios config?

[Jayj2000]

I recently used ryzen master to check voltage under load and cpu-z and it says that 3600 is boosting up to 3.7 - 4.2 volts. its this normal as it seems quite high. I checked the cpu in bios and its set to auto. And ram is at 1.35 volts with xmp enabled. I have had some system reboots under load recently and wonder if this is the cause?

My System :

MSI Ventus XS OC RTX 2060
Ryzen 5 3600
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black Edition
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB)
Asrock B450M PRO4-F
Coolermaster Masterfan SF10R ARGB x 3
Coolermaster NR400
EVGA Supernova 650 G+ 80 Plus Fully Modular

run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result

Its normal, Ryzen 3rd gen applies voltages as high as 1.48v to the CPU, but that kind of voltage is applied to one core at a time for very short amounts of time. Workload is then switched to second fastest core which gives first core time to cool and makes sure individual cores are not over-stressed.

What kind of loads are causing your system to reboot? CPU, GPU or both at same time?

both when I am rendering a vid in premiere ( all cores are pinned at 3.9 and 3.75 volts) and in gaming where the cpu usage is from 40 - 80%. I have a youtube channel where you can see these benchmarks in more depth but other than than random rebooting in some games it performs well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC08l4qKc7bkkb8skI15IvsA

you mean 1.375 volts?
depending on type of multi-threaded workload 1.375 is normal for all core at 4.0- 4.1 GHz.

don't think issue is with the CPU, Its mostly likely bad PSU or a poor power connection to GPU or CPU power connector.

Yeah i'll check connections later thanks

4.2 volts on the CPU would be instantly disastrous...as would 3.7V. I think you mean 3.7Ghz to 4.2Ghz clock speed. That is quite normal for the processor which is rated for 3.6Ghz base and 4.2Ghz boost clocks. When boosting it's also normal for the core voltage to spike to as high as 1.5V although in the 1.46-1.48 range is more common (it depends a lot on your particular CPU and motherboard).

I'd avoid userbenchmark. It is fully synthetic in that scores are weighted to reflect how they feel a processor should perform. So not very good at best and clearly biased at worst.

Instead get Cinebench 2.0 and run BOTH multithreaded and single thread benchmarks and post those results to look at performance. Much more reliable and while still synthetic, at least it's representative of real-world work loads.
