AMD Ryzen 3700x stock cpu core voltage very high

I'm running a 3700x on a Gigabyte Aorus x570 Elite mobo. On stock (no pbo/oc) single core boosts will go about 1.45v, but I've never seen it at 1.5v+. I'm using a Noctua D15 cooler, but the chip is not worth overclocking. You can dump an extra 40 watts with tiny rewards that just isn't worth it (they're basically 3800x rejects). I also have 4x8 3600mhz cl18 ram, which is configured to cl16 with 1.37v (the extra 0.02v is needed for 4 sticks at these non-manufacturer timings). As others have suggested, you may need to flash to a new bios. Try and avoid the beta versions, especially if you're using one of the 3000s, because I found them less stable than the non-betas with my configuration. I ended up using the latest stable (non-beta) version at the time.

You not reading mine proper as I do have latest stable BIOS not beta. (v2006) Also I don't have 4 x 8GB ram slots. Only 2 x 8GB ram slots but I could order the same again 2 x 8GBs ram kit) to make it 4 x 8GB or do I have to purchase 4 x 8GB kit only?

I am using Corsair low-profile Vengeance ram (Micron E chips). It's pretty cheap RAM, but I brought the last 2 sticks later on. They're the same specs, but slightly different revisions. They all work fine together with the slight increase in power (note, I am using tighter timings than the XMP). I can't say how they will work for you on your board, but I doubt you'd have a problem at XMP if the RAM is compatible.

What is your tighter timing please I can try your same timing to see if all in stock default and I can try this to leave c states on auto with disabled docp and manual 3600mhz with 1800mhz but what is your tightly timing please and what dram voltage as well but I think your motherboard slightly different to mine. I am using bequiet dark rock slim air cooler but it does have 180w tdp on it. Good enough for 3700x
 
You cooler is more than fine, and while the cpu sucks for manual OC, you should get better sustained boosts than stock. I used DRAM calculator for Ryzen to work out the timings. You will need to figure out what chips the ram is using, which isn't always easy, but there are guides out there that should help. Just stick to 'safe' settings and thoroughly test afterwards with Memtest.

Also, when applying any additional voltage to the DRAM, start from stock and increment. All chips are different and for me, my DRAM volt is a nudge lower than the app suggested.

I did check DRAM Calculator but when I click Calculator SAFE it come back ERROR not supported ? :confused: Did I put setting correct on left side?

Motherboard shouldn't be a big deal, so long as it can bump the DRAM voltage, so set it to x570.

My guess would be the Memory Type - it calculates with the Samsung B Die. Are you absolutely sure those are the chips the RAM sticks use?
 
Add those settings the memory timings in bios. Anything in bios not shown on the screenie should be left to auto or default. Things may not be named perfectly, but you should be able to look those things up online. Before starting put the sticks into the XMP mode, then manually config. You may not even have to increase DRAM voltage for two sticks.
 
Updated:

1) bios load optimized defaults (all left on auto except settings below) DOCP disabled & c-states leave it as default on auto
2) set memory speed 3600mhz
3) set fclk 1800mhz
4) dram voltage 1.36
5) soc voltage 1.05
6) ccd voltage 1.000
7) iod voltage 1.000
8) vddp voltage 0.950
9) power down mode disabled
10) gear down mode enabled
11) dram timing at 18-22-22-22-42-64-1t
12) vcore set to manual offset mode -0.1000

No more WHEA error appear & no shutdown idle issues so far as it look like this settings are the correct way to stable pc
 
Updated:

linpack xtreme all passed with power watts loads 105w with max temp 79c with no hardware error detected, no whea error or any pc shutdown issues (has to bump up vcore two steps for stable at 1.20v) ran memory test overnight all passed.

1) bios load optimized defaults (all left on auto except settings below) DOCP disabled & c-states leave it as default on auto
2) set memory speed 3600mhz
3) set fclk 1800mhz
4) dram voltage 1.35
5) soc voltage auto
6) ccd voltage auto
7) iod voltage auto
8) vddp voltage auto
9) power down mode auto
10) gear down mode auto
11) dram timing at 18-22-22-22-42-64-1t
12) vcore set to manual 1.20v
13) all core ratios set at x42.3
