How much voltage does a Ryzen 5 5600 take?

Hello everyone, I got a new CPU recently and temps are a bit high. I want to get new cooling and thermal paste soon but cannot afford it. So currently I want to make sure my voltage is right.
Right now it's running at 3.50 GHz (With 6 cores for those who don't know)

Right now as I'm writing it CPU-Z says it's running at 1.088 V (I forgot what it's clocked at in my Bios and don't feel like restarting rn lol) When it came it came pre-overclocked with horrible voltage and what not so I just changed it to manual not overclocked and didn't touch anything else. I'm wondering if I'm giving it maybe too much power and if it can go any lower. Does anybody know? (If I should restart to check what it is in my Bios just lmk)
 
Stock 5600 should boost to 4.45GHz at 1.35+V under single core load

Define "a bit high".

40C idle. Only reason I'm not panicking is because I don't do crap that is intense enough to get it into damaging temps

That is incredibly cool. I suggest you educate yourself as to what safe temperatures are for Zen 3 CPUs before you start wasting your time and others' with unfounded alarmism.

the title of this thread and comments are not "alarmist" its a legit simple question, lol

I get 1.200 volt, override voltage no offsets, just override, at 1.200 volt even, i can do 4.6 all core fully stable. YMMV and I get like 65 celsius to 70 celsius in games at full load.

only older chips needed 1.35v. newer chips can use less voltage to achieve same 4.6 oc.

Yeah but it goes to 60C under 20% load sooo

You must be new around Ryzens. You get high Vcore up to 1.35-1.5V for low current loads (ie. single threaded), hence the relatively high temps under lightly threaded loads. Vcore comes down gradually as current increases (ie. number of cores and "load").

You haven't specified any details about your specs - stock Wraith Stealth cooler is sucktastic and those temps are about expected. As for idle, CPPC responsiveness blurs the line between idle and light load so "pure" idle is hard to achieve.

Honestly I'm surprised this is still a mystery to some. It's been nearly 4 years since Ryzen has worked this way and there must be billions of guides and help threads out there.

play a demanding game that came out in last 5 years, what temps does that get after 10-15 minutes of gameplay?

It's very rare to see these CPUs get hot, but if it's with the stock heatsink, chances are high that temperatures will go up to 80 degrees.

Except 4650 is stock boost on the older CPUs, +200 brings it to 4850..
 
R5 5600
Idle 29C

Converting a 1080p h.264 video in Handbrake to h.265. rf17, Slow:

Stock, no tuning: 4417MHz rare peaks, 1.15v, 76W, 66C with Cryorig M9A
PBO, no other tuning: 4442MHz more consistently, 1.24v, 100W, 80C


CPU-Z stress:

Stock, no tuning: 4372MHz, 1.17v, 76W, 65C
PBO, no other tuning: 4449MHz, 1.21v, 82W, 69C

Don't worry. Look at mine! :)

Newer Ryzen 5 5600 should do 4.6Ghz all cores at 1.2V.
I'm running auto voltage in bios, CPU boost clock override +150, Curve Optimizer per core negative 18,30,14,14,22,20
PBO limits, manual 90/60/90
In Cinebench multi all cores are 4.6Ghz@1.181V
Sweet spot in my opinion.
