Understood... but you cant blame AMD's boost settings on the R5 3600 because you are facing issues. Probably there is something wrong there. Maybe that specific CPU is defective from factory. Not uncommon/unusual. My First 5900X was defective and had to RMA it (successfully). Maybe there is...

I can see in your system specs next to your CPU naming the "4.0GHz" frequency. If you're running the R5 3600 at 4.0GHz fixed, then you cant call that overclocking in my book as this chip can hit 4.2GHz on a couple of cores occasionally. This is more like disabling dynamic operation for whatever...

Get to know your system first... Use ZenTimings for memory and CPU memory subsystem and HWiNFO64 sensors mode for a general overview of system. What do you mean by overclocking? Old time overclocking is dead with modern chips. You can enhance CPU performance (frequency boosting) through a...

SoC voltage is only responsible for IOD power. On a CPU like yours (or my 5900X) this cant be over 25W max. My SoC power typically fluctuates between 14~15 up to 20~21W depending task/load, and I'm running 1.1V SoC. IOD hotspot temp is 30-35C Lowering SoC to 0.9V can only save a couple of Watt...

Interesting... I guess there is a lot of data traffic through the IOD and DRAM in general (but at idle?) If you could show the entire CPU Enhanced section it would be more clear, maybe. Better show the whole thing so we can see it all, maybe spot something

Not really, when the max operating temp is 90+C

Running a 5900X + 7900XTX here on a 750W HX750i. For gaming the 5900X averages about 100-105W and 7900XTX has a power limit (by me) at 390W. Avg GPU TBP depends on game and gameplay, but it’s around 330-350W (CP2077 for example). Total system avg PSU power output is usually around 500-520W with...

In fact if a GPU is power limited, doing undervolt up to a certain point can benefit performance while power stays the same. Less volts, less heat/power, more clocks within the same power budget. As long as it doesn’t affects stability.

To need repaste after one month? Could be, but I find the potential mounting issue more likely to be the case. We've seen this before not long a go with a 7900XTX liquid cooled.

Undervolting is pretty much the thing of modern chips to get anything left out of them. The safest way also.

Exactly! Never understood why people talk and compare them like this. For all I know any of the 2 vendors could use a filter in reported value, or even use an aggregated value from multiple hot sensors for the report. Like an avg of the top 5/10/20… and so on… Pointless the comparison is 18C...

Have you consider maybe if there is any mount pressure issue? For example trying to tighten screws a bit. But without too much effort…

I always having HWiNFO64 sensors mode running (at systray) when PC is on, and I reset values before entering game. When finish playing and exit I quickly open the window in full screen, take a screenshot and paste it on paint. Then I have all the time to observe and evaluate any sensor (high...

I understand the fear of loosing power during bios updates. That was mine too all the years and the dozens of updates I performed to my boards. Never bought a UPS tho just for that. But that fear has vanished and made ups pointless for BIOS updates the day that good function was introduce…...
