Ryzen 5 1600 core voltage "stuck".

[jjuzoh]

So basically I have Been overclocking my new ryzen 5 1600 and I have realized My core voltage in BIOS and cpu-z say 1.380 V and it doesn't fluctuate at all. It is constant 1.380 V and the weirdest thing is that I havent even Set my core voltage to 1.380 V. Should I Be worried? Or just leave it. I have Set My cpu to 3.85 GHz and it's stable.

Whats your full system specs-is your motherboard's bios up to date? I know with some boards if voltage is set on auto they can set it at unnecessarily high levels. Have you tried setting it manually? My 1600 is sitting at 3.9ghz @1.275v but then again no two cpus will behave the same.

I got a Aorus B450 Pro. I don't have my cpu voltage on auto. I have set it manually to 1.3v and that's it. And there's only 2 versions of the BIOS for this motherboard. And the newest BIOS was only to prove memory compatibility. So that can't be it. But the most troubling part to me is that it's constant 1.380v no fluctuation at all. But then again my temperatures maxed out that 75c on aida64 and average was about 70c on stock cooler.

And to answer my full system specs: 8GB Ballistix sport DDR4, Asus 1060 6gb OC, Ryzen 5 1600(stock cooler), Aorus B450 Pro, CX 550M, 240gb ssd, 1tb hdd

what is the stepping number of your cpu and use hwinfo then post a picture of the sensor page at idle will compare with mine

I am not familiar with the Aorus (gigabyte) bios-does it have a straight manual voltage option or is it an offset? Either way I would try lowering it as far as it would go while maintaining stability.

Pretty sure it's an offset. This is my first time overclocking or like first time I have ever built a system. So I am as unfamiliar as you are xD.
