What is going on with my temperatures?

I have posted before asking about temp fluctuations on my 2700x but this is getting weird, now i get they fluctuate but this is confusing me. I can run cinebench or any synthetic benchmark to stress my CPU and it will top out at 58-60c. On the desktop regularly i hear my fans ramp up and the cpu is hovering around 70c. Now im running a Noctua D14 with 3 noctua fans, 140mm in the middle and 2x120m on each side, thats a beast of a cooler, not many coolers can keep up with the D14 so whats going on? it seems VERY hot for such a good cooler.......why would browsing on chrome = 70c but then benchmarks are 60c? its confusing to me.
 
sounds like what i have with my Crap gaming 7. (1800x)
By default on stock windows power profiles your CPU will not idle correctly and jump from 1000mhz to 4000mhz even though nothing going on.

Then to add to this the crap that is Gigabyte Gaming 7 will send 1.4/1.6V to the CPU. (way OTT)

only way around it is set the volts yourself/Use the AMD power profile. my chip is happy at 1.18V at 3.8Ghz on all cores 24/7

ive reported many bugs in the crap that is gigabyte bios to be told its not a bug. (including running HWINFO64 that will corrupt your bios) 100% reproducible.

oh and the smart profiles will reset after you reboot on odd occasions.

Oh now thats interesting because its exactly whats happening, no applications running at all and im bouncing between 1000mhz and 4100mhz, maybe manually setting the voltage is a good idea! So you think 1.18v is good or should i set it to the default voltage first and then see if i can reduce? I cant damage my cpu/motherboard doing this can i?

try the AMD power profile first.

but after that look around for others have their voltage set at at stock & manually bunch it in.
 
yes.

monitor your voltage with hwmonitor and see if its doing what mine does.

do not use HWINFO. on gigabyte boards after 3 hours & a reboot it will corrupt your bios.....

Maximum safe vcore voltages for Ryzen


From Tom's Review:

"AMD predicts that most customers should see somewhere between 3.9 and 4.1 GHz across all cores, and suggests you stick with a 1.35V ceiling if you want your chip to last. Although core voltages in excess of 1.45V are considered sustainable, they'll have a more pronounced effect on longevity."

Tom's hardware indicates that that drop-off point is 1.45 volt

From Kitguru:

"Default voltage for manual tuning should start at around 1.3625V, according to AMD. Users should be fine pushing to 1.40V with a decent CPU cooler and up to 1.45V with a high-end dual-tower heatsink or dual-fan AIO radiator. At 1.45V, however, AMD suggests that processor longevity could be affected according to their models."

I take that to mean 1.35-1.45V is probably safe depending on your cooling solution.

I can't say I've had any of those issues. I've perhaps not played with the bios as much, only setting fan curves and XMP on the ram, but HWinfo hasn't caused any issues.

the sad fact is i documented every bug with steps to reproduce 100% & gigabyte rep listened very nicely But the Motherboard team said theirs no issue

yet if you search gigabyte soft brick it comes up with hundreds of reports. So much so they again started to look at it...

they also didnt believe me thatr their OC software for their GPU turned off the Fans on the GPU (reached 98C on the gpu with no fans on)
Gave them video evidence 1 week later & they released a quiet patch With it in the release notes. not giving me credit or Emailing me to say thanks...
AORUS GRAPHICS ENGINE
Release Note:
  1. Fix OC mode & silent mode’s clock error value’s issue
  2. Fix GV-N108TAORUS X-11GD silent mode Fan curve
Version :1.07
