3700x constant boosting and high voltages

[DeathofRats]

Hi guys

Pc has not had any love for a very long time, and I'm really behind the curve on how Ryzen auto clocks so I have a question...

The good news is, i dropped the 3700x into my current x370 mobo (asrock taichi) and after a bios update it seems to be stable - and i guess i should be thankful for this painless update since I'm sure there was plenty of scope for this to FUBAR

Now what I've noticed that half my cores are boosting all the time (they're taking shifts), even when I'm essentially idle, with all the cores managing to get up to at least 4.35 and mostly 4.4 - which sounds kinda sweet, EXCEPT that means it's auto voltage is between 1.45 to 1.49!! Wouldn't care if this was during a gaming hour but this is all the time and I didn't know if that was acceptable and whether i should be concerned, or is there anything i can do to limit the voltage? Temps are being reported in the mid 60s max and so under control (HWINFO64), idle can be a bit high compared to my old 1700 but its hard to judge when there are always cores boosting.

Doesn't sound abnormal too me. This is how Ryzen behaves.

You do have the latest AMD chipset drivers installed and are using one of the Ryzen power plans I hope?

Great, I just wanted to be certain, was not completely confident with dropping into the x370 so it's in my head that there may be issues when it fact everything has been smooth.

Yeah, I remembered reading about the power plans issues last year so made sure my chipset was up to date and using one of the ryzen power plans.

Thanks Sonic and Worthy, that's pretty much what I'm seeing
