Question Ryzen 5 3600 Idle at 4.0ghz 1.40-1.45v

[joker50060]

I just did a new build with a B450 MSI GAMING PLUS and Ryzen 5 3600 and the title is my problem right now i dk if this is normal or not but i got ryzen master with 50C Idle and Core Temp is saying 60C Idle while on 1.4 to 1.45V and 4.0 to 4.1ghz Idle

Could someone help me out with this if this is normal or not?

Most likely you have your Windows Power plan set to high performance. If you do, then it's most likely staying its full clock speed and voltage.

No I'm on AMD Ryzen Balanced and it's now idling at 1.43v

You can use Windows Power Saving Plan to limit your CPU voltage and speed manually for idling/light use.

Alternatively a manual voltage offset of - .100 Volts in your BIOS should help.
I use this method with my Ryzen 2700x so it idles properly, doesn't thermal throttle in games and boosts to maximum MHZ under load.

For me new chipset driver helped - 1.07.29.xxxx. It now won't boost when refreshing values in such programs like HWinfo and other similar light loads.

i tried everything but i guess nothing is helping rn
i also tried playing fortnite on medium and ended up with the CPU going to 80c

New driver is improving behavior when idling. From my own experience...

In games it behaves similarly, tho. If it can, it will boost. So 80c is on edge but if You're using stock cooler I'd say it's normal.
