[SOLVED] Ryzen 3600 + b450 tomahawk (non max)

[ljonzeey33]

Hi all just wondering on some stuff and peace of mind due to some of the voltages.

*Ryzen 3600
*B450 Tomahawk (non max) - Bios version 7C02v1D

I just upgraded my 1700 to a 3600,
Everything in the bios is auto (stock)

are these voltages normal for this chip;
Idle - under 1V / 25c
Gaming - 1.375v to 1.39v / 55c to 65c
Software like Cinebench - 1.35v / 65c but all cores stay at 4.2Ghz

Some of these voltages seem high, i have seen in some forums that 1.3v is the max safety voltage and when the CPU has 100% load its not suppose to boost all cores to 4.2ghz @ 1.35v? (usually 1.28v)
The PPT and EDC on ryzen master show max @ 100%?

I haven't really looked into the voltage suggestions for the 3000 Ryzen, but recall the suggested limit being 1.4 for 1000. If you aren't seeing issue, and motherboard heat isn't running up I wouldn't be too concerned about it.


With that said (and yes I know I can go watch reviews)....by your seat of the pants experience would you say that upgrading from the 1700 to the 3600 was notable in a way to be worth the cost?

Yeah the heat seems to be okay and no issues yet was just wondering on some information on it really such as the voltages i have and if its the way its suppose to behave and life span.
Upgrading to the 3600 for me seems to be worth it as i only play games (1080p 144hz) my 1700 didn't quite get up to 144fps.

Those voltages are fine. Ryzens can go up to 1.48V when approaching the maximum boost clocks.
