Update your board bios if not done, set your voltage manually, back it off.

I'm pretty sure it's normal and it's just XFR doing it's magic.

Go to your BIOS and open "Hardware Monitor", you'll see something like this:

What is your CPU voltage bottom left?

First gen ryzen can get up to 1.6v on auto/XFR, so I don't find it abnormal it hits 1.45v.

I looked around the web and there are multiple reviews of this board with a 2700X and the BIOS always seem to report between 1.4v to 1.45v.

If you don't feel like it's safe you can, as you said, exchange it.

Well if that’s just how the 2700x wants to run I don’t care but 1.45v at idle in OS and bios doesn’t seem right to me but I’m new to AMD.
Appreciate your help M&M

This seems to be the pattern. The review I read showed 1.395v at stock. They went retard for those extra 150MHz. I'd disable XFR and go for manual OC.

Strange voltages are looking normal in Windows now and around 1.2 full load with prime95

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's normal behaviour but to make sure I'll tag @Johan45 and @Psychoholic because they have the exact same board and CPU as you do.
Not sure if they'll answer but I can always try. ;)
Does it seem normal to you guys?

Guessing it’s does this to get those single core jumps to 4.35.
Everything was fine after all, just got spooked not wanting to fry my new rig
Thanks all for the help

Yes it is from my experiences with Ryzen and Ryzen+, you nailed it right on the head the CPU will require those higher voltages at stock to reach maximum boost. As long as it's displaying what you would consider normal voltages under load in OS then you're all good. Just curious what BIOS did you flash to? I'm using 116

The current Bios on the MSI website (came pre-installed although it does read differently in the Bios itself) but im not sure im going to keep this board, overpriced for the components and i dont know about this "Killer" Gigabit

Curious, what speeds others are getting after googling "speed test" Ookla, its not even working for me atm.

wow the stock voltages are crazy... I'm used to the 1800x... I'm hitting 1.5v in the bios??... i havnt tried overclocking through the power states yet though.
if that's still even possible.. i hope so... because that's my next job... :):toast:

i set the cpu's initial oc using power states one and two. the first to 4.15Ghz@4.065v and the second to 4Ghz@ a respectable 3.5v... and the system is very quick... I'm going to have fun with this. my ram is at 3333mhz...

XFR only runs the CPU at 1.45v for fractions of a second. If you are getting voltage stuck at 1.45v something is wrong.

AMD Vcore voltage averages from Socket A-now have been 1.5. They can handle it. Im unsure abou K6 1-3 CPUs, never dived into the bios for 1.

That's pretty normal. AMD said XFR can change the voltage and clocks thousands of times a second. The CPU adjusts according to load, temps, stability, ect. XFR2 is very good all around.

Are you talking about the power plan within windows?
I’ve read things hinting this setting helps make the most of the senseMi stuff but I’ve not looked into it much yet.
Does anyone know anything about this?
