I have an 1800X on a Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5. I haven't done any overclocking with it, as I just have an old 9900NT cooling it right now (waiting on a bracket from Cryorig so I can put my H5 on it). I don't really stress the system much apart from gaming. I noticed a few weeks ago in Ryzen Master that my idle voltage was high. Even after big bios release on the 11th though, and the 1.0.1 Ryzen Master update I would see my idle voltages hover between 1.43 and 1.51. The temps stay low (usually 36-47c depending on the ambient temperature). I decided to take my first steps into voltage manipulation because of this. I have been playing around in the bios for the last few days and I just can't seem to get idle voltage where I want it. I was able to make it a better, and now I'm seeing 1.45 idle. Under load (been using wPrime, Overwatch, 3dmark/Time Spy) It's pretty rock steady at 1.28v. It seems like my adjustments are working for load scenarios, but I can't figure out why I can't get the idle voltages down. Now I'm wondering if the idle voltages really even matter, or if I can even manipulate them. They don't seem to be hurting my temps. I've only had stability issues when I dropped the voltage too much on 2 occasions (wouldn't post once, and BSOD 2nd time). I plan on doing real stress testing when I can put my H5 on.
I'm a complete noob at this. I've had a Phenom 965, an I5 4670K, and now this 1800x. I never touched voltage settings before though, just did what I could on stock voltage.
