[SOLVED] ryzen 5 3600 always at 4.17/4.18/4.19

[marcoboii]

So i recently bought a new pc with a ryzen 5 3600. Its the first time i got an amd cpu.
I havent played any games on it so far. I dont know much about computers but i was wondering how i could get the speed to be constant at 3.6ghz,since it is at 4.2 constantly which i dont like or need. Im also afraid it could be harmful.
Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't be harmful but are you sure that all cores are that high ? Also make sur you choose AMD Rayzen Balenced power saving plan and set Minimum processor state to 5%.

How do i check all the cores? I am a complete beginner when it comes down to that stuff.

Update ryzen master, check bios for update and set windows power plan to balanced.

You should also use a program like HW info https://www.hwinfo.com/download/ it will tell you that, temperatures, voltages etc too.

Also, i cant find the ryzen balanced power plan on my system. Where can i get it?

You will get it with latest chipset drivers. https://www.amd.com/en/support or from your MB site.

as long as temps are good it wont harm anything

Do i have to do all of this stuff?
Will i be fine if i manually set it 3.6ghz in the bios and use the basic balanced powerplan.

also, even when im on pc, and i have absolutely nothing open apart from task manager, it still runs at 4.2ghz. (

Have you found out if all cores or just one are running at maximum speed ? Programs and task manager show only highest core.

Ill check when im home. Which program should i check these things on?

HWInfo will show you, in the Sensor Screens, probably an information overload though: you see both core frequency and thread useage (%) as well as core multiplier. So will RyzenMaster, but just core frequency. Only Ryzenmaster shows when cores go into advanced sleep states though.
