3700X Idle temp

[ShivP]

Hi all,

I have a 3700X. At idle the temp sits around 48-49c - not overclocked, cooled by H100i PRO cooler.

Is this a little high?
Under load, the CPU gets to perhaps around 65c (playing Battlefield)

Thanks

The 3000 chips do tend to fluctuate. You could try downloading and installing the latest AMD B450 chipset drivers then using the AMD Ryzen Balanced or High Performance Windows power plans to see if it is an issue with C-State or P-State voltage/frequency management. I'd also use HWiNFO64 to montitor what your Core Voltage is doing, my 3700X is doing 33c/43c/35c (Min/Max/Av) with Core Volts 0.99v/1.49v/1.10v (Min/Max/Av) on the AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan, the High Performance plan is doing 33c/50c/38c with Core Volts 1.01v/1.49v/1.28v.
Hope that helps.

OK. I laready have latest chipset and am using the Ryzen 'balanced' power plan.
Strangely Ryzen Master seems to report the CPU downclocking to around 2000MHz however HWiNFO suggests all the cores are basically pinned at 4300.

Idle voltage tends to be around 1.4V-1.45V it looks like

Very strangely, when running cinebench, the "VID" in CPU status goes down to 1.18V!
