Why is the balanced power supply circuit of the amd ryzen processor set to 99% minimum power? Is this normal?

I'm afraid that with such power consumption, the processor will wear out quickly. What happens if you lower the minimum value to 10%?

Which is better when the consumption is at least 99% and the core voltage changes slightly, or when it drops by 10% and slightly more?

The Turbo boost function is disabled in uefi. Has this power supply scheme been thought out by engineers, so can we trust the minimum value of 99%? Or maybe it's specially done to increase processor wear by marketers?

Using HWInfo, can you check and see if any of your cores aren't being taxed? As for your question about processor degradation, unless you're seeing more than 1.35v on the SoC voltage, you've got nothing to worry about.

If you're on any motherboard besides ASRock(as they're having a bit of a hiccup with their BIOS versions), you're advised to be on the latest BIOS version and keep an eye on temps/voltages.

Speaking of temps, what are you using to cool the Ryzen 5 3600 processor?

The temperatures are fine, and a tower cooler is installed. I looked in the HWiNFO program, where the voltage per core is about a volt. The bigger question here is, why did they decide to make a minimum of 99% for the processor in the power supply settings, when the maximum was 100%? What happens if you make a minimum of 10%? Have you ever encountered anything like this?
