Question Very high idle clocks on Ryzen 7600 and Ryzen Master showing nonsense

I need help.

My Ryzen 7600 (nonx) never clocks under 3.2Ghz (Average about 3800-4200Mhz) even on idle with no programs running, shown by HWMonitor, HWInfo, CpuZ and CpuTemp. The thing is Ryzen Master shows me
really low clocks and power consumption at idle, but Ryzen Master also shows me my Expo for ram is not active even so I activated it in my Bios and other software also shows the correct Ram speed of 6000Mhz at 30CL. Ryzen Master shows me a 32%PPT of 88Watts (Which comes exactly to the 28 Watt package idle power consumption for cpu that HWMontior and other programs show) but tells me at the same time my idle power draw for the cpu is only 4Watts. (Temperatures also indicate its 28 Watts not 4 since my ancient Xeon 1230v3 in my old Pc runs with half the cooler size at 30°C right beside it when using 4Watt at idle, not the 36 of the 7600 with a cpu cooler double the size and a better case ventilation)

Why is Ryzen Master not seeing that my Expo is activated, shows me way different Cpu clock speeds then HWmonitor and other programms and the PPT and Cpu power consumption in Ryzen Master itself contradicts each other? What I want is to have my 7600 stop using 28-30Watts during idle and clock below 3Ghz. I have flashed my Bios to the newest update, Win11 is on the newest update, and Amd chipset drivers are freshly installed as well. I did not overclock cpu in the bios or set anything in Ryzen Master, simply used Ryzen Master only as monitoring tool. 28Watts idle for a 65W rated Cpu is kind of crazy, since my old Intel cpu as mentioned draws like 3-4W in idle.

Could it be that the high power consumption is due to the AM5 chipset? Is the AM5 chipset pulling 25Watts all by itself? If so then why is it so high if I had a ppt of 5Watts total chipset+cpu on my very old system? Is it the fast DDR5 ram on Expo that needs such high voltage and chipset power draw?

5% CPU usage is not "Idle" state, 1% or less is. Something is running in the background. Beside that, go check your windows power plan and set Minimum processor state to 5% or less.
