[SOLVED] My cpu is always running at 3,7-3,75 ghz. Should I worry about it?

Hello everyone. I have a ryzen 5 2600 with a corsair h100i v2. My cpu temps are totally fine, the ambient temp is 25C and my idle temps are 30-35C and gaming temps are 45-47C. I wanted to ask you guys something. I've noticed(monitored with hwinfo) that my cpu is running at 3,7-3,75 ghz while on idle(at gaming it's always 3,75ghz but that doesn't concern me). My previous cpu would fall to lower frequencies while idle, but the 2600 runs always at 3,7-3,75 without doing literally ANYTHING. I don't have any problems, my pc is working like a boss. I'm just wondering why is that happening and if I should worry about it. Thanks in advance.

Which power plan are you using in Windows?

Which power plan are you using in Windows?

It's the AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan. Here it is:

Should I have that or the balanced from windows enabled?

It is normal, dont worry, they fixed the issue on zen 2 but zen 1 (which you have) still needs to be at full frequency to respond promptly to burst type of loads.

I'm not worried at all, my ryzen 5 2600 performs really well in gaming(at 1080p with a gtx 1070), I'm very pleased with its performance and temperatures. I read on reddit that it's better to have the ryzen balanced on, so I'm keeping it. Thank you for the reassurance!
