AMD Ryzen 3700x stock cpu core voltage very high

Left pc on overnight idle no WHEA error nor any pc shutdown anymore that's rather odd. But if it stable now then I more than happy. I can see other thread forums many peoples has issues with 3700x unstable on idle but disabled c states have fixed this. Look like the bios from Asus haven't release latest stable for idle clock on 3700x yet and other processor too.

No point of return the cpu because what if the new cpu are the same error as this? Would be waste my time and overclockers time. I got email from amd and they suggest me to disabled c states or gear down on memory will stable the processor on idle.

But why isn't amd, Asus should aware of this in the first place ages ago when 3700x was released. But amd told me if any more issues then the cpu have to return to get it replaced. Also telling me to check memory for QVL certified for 3600Mhz on xmp profile.
 
Mate if its working just stop looking to tweak stuff and enjoy it now, otherwise ull never find peace and be ever looking to tweak this or that for diff reasons. If its working and temps are ok just enjoy it imo.

Asus TUF X570 and 3700X here, no issues with idle, PBO on, my PC is on basically 24/7, 100% stable. BIOS is whatever was newest about a year ago... I'd say you have an edge case with that particular board/CPU combo

Is disabled c states are safer to do? If yes. Then I leave it alone and enjoy pc 24/7.
 
With the fix u did yesterday do you even need disabled c states now?

Maybe you just need to find the right power plan for windows instead (Ryzen Balanced Power Plan)?

From what i read yea disabled c states are totally safe to do, just that its slightly higher idle clocks but it still should go idle and lower clocks and ramp up when at load as normal afaik.

My fix didn't resolved WHEA error before midnight (getting 8) but no sign of shutdown this time. Went to bios and disabled C-States. Since overnight no WHEA error or any shutdown issues. If I turn back on C-States to auto then WHEA error will come back again.
 
Updated:

Seem appear that C-States are the best way to stay turn off disabled for 100% stable with no more whea error. All day no issues at all. I leave as it was now. No shutdown issues since last night when put the correct power switch on the board.
 
Updated: no issues so far, no idle shutdown or no WHEA error. Happy now it been resolved. :) Disabled c-states are the only reason to stable pc with DOCP memory 3600Mhz
 
Nice one. Enjoy ur new cpu now go out there and play some games :)

Maybe in future there might be a bios update along the line or a windows update that fixes that issue but no need to fret for now. :)
 
Updated: Went to Bios and put all core ratios x42 (4.2GHz) set vcore at 1.8v memory speed 3600mhz flck 1800mhz dram voltage 1.35v with docp enabled and c states disabled with no issues so far, no shotdown, no whea error. Core VIDs minimum: 1.056v maximum: 1.100v (I will try later to put all core ratios x44 (4.4GHz) to see if it stable enough with low vcore.

Cinebench R20
Multi cores: 5056 pts
Single core: 488 pts

Cinebench R23
Multi cores: 13041 pts
Single core: 1256 pts

Realbench total system score: 147,295

My cpuz result here: https://valid.x86.fr/4rsjwx
 
Should be cpu + soc power
13.816w on idle and 76.466w on load on Core+SoC Power (SV12 TFN)
23.052w on idle and 86.096 on load on CPU Package Power (SMU) - (that's for my fixed all core ratios x 42 - 4.2GHz)
