[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600 @ 1.450v on stock settings

[Lushern1309]

So Guys, I've recently got myself a R5 3600 and straight out the box and into my pc on first post the cpu was running at above voltage, even after disabling PBO im still at that voltage only after applying a manual multiplier of 38x do i get lower voltages in the 1.1 region, how safe is it to run at 1.4+, i mean that's straight out the box. i've seen some posts saying enabling PBO voids the warranty, but i did not enable it, it defaulted to on. i've also read about the observer effect, but i rely on HWInfo for monitoring when gaming i have a deepcool gammaxx 400 cooler, any advice/suggestions. my system is pretty stable and temps are reasonable, im just a bit reluctant running the cpu at that voltage for extended periods of time

Perfectly normal my friend:

This is normal, the Ryzen 3600 operates normally up to 1.5V.
It has a boost from idle feature whereby it applies heavy voltage to each core to boost it out of sleep and then stabilise which results in voltage and heat spikes when this happens.

To help ease your mind further, here is an extract from Robert Hallock's post who is an AMD Technical Engineer who works with the community a lot:

I'm specifically looking for reports where the voltage is stuck at a particular value, or a small range of values, around 1.4V--no matter how long you sit there and watch it. It is perfectly okay if your CPU is periodically using 1.4-1.5V to achieve boost frequencies, and you should see dips into sub-1.0V as the CPU goes into idle. These dips may be brief, and that's okay. Load voltages of around 1.2-1.3V are perfectly okay also. This is the processor working as expected. Ryzen is a highly dynamic system, with up to 1000 voltage and clockspeed changes every second. You will see a lot of bouncing around as you work with your system.

If you use something like HWInfo and monitored closely under different loads, you will see this behaviour and the subtle fluctuations. The Ryzen 3000 series are made to run up to that voltage and constantly fluctuate.

Hello, thank you for the detailed reply, it explains quite a lot, i will revert all my manual changes and leave the stock settings
