Mine was 0% out of the box. I installed the 7/7/2019 driver direct from AMD, if that makes any difference. I've changed minimum to 90% now, but something odd happened there. Did you use the AMD chipset driver or the one from your mobo manufacturer?

This is what I have been saying, the balanced plan with the new chipset drivers is set at 0 out of the box and its only the old plan that is configured for 90, I am leaving mine at 0 and have had zero issues. It doesn't help that installing the new drivers over the existing doesn't install them correctly and you have to follow the procedure I posted previously
Ok so here's what I get from HWInfo
Windows balanced
Ryzen balanced
I had ryzen master running to double check voltages and interestingly the lowest it dipped to was 1.43 and stayed at 1.47, so the 1.012 reading is a surprise.
There's definitely a temperature difference at idle, but the average difference isn't as great as I expected.
If you were to no switch to high performance mode you would see that you CPU Package Power will be like 10W extra. Which is such a small difference people are worrying over.
Maybe it should be 0% then, things must have changed with Ryzen 3000. It must work differently.
It's supposed to be 0%, 90% was for older Ryzen CPUs. I don't have mine yet unfortunately so I just assumed the power plan was the same but it seems AMD have altered it to work better with Ryzen 3000.
Fair enough. Putting it back to 0 and forgetting about it for now.
