Ryzen 3600 Voltages

Have a Ryzen5 3600 running completely at stock (BIOS reset to default and XMP disabled) all settings on auto, play star trek online and my temps hit the mid 90's thought it may be the cooler (stock Wraith Stealth) so refreshed paste and reseated cooler, but it was still happening.

Checked HWMonitor and its reading the voltage hitting highs of 1.425 on VDD.

This surely can't be normal?

Rest of spec Asrock B450M Pro4, 16gb TeamGroup Dark T-Force 3200MHz and 8GB RX580

When the CPU starts getting hot the side panel also gets REALLY hot to the touch.

Going to be ordering a new cooler, but feel that is a bit of a moot point when voltages are going that stupidly high.

Any ideas?
 
Run cinebench with your stock setting
Install ryzenmaster, set a profile limiting the cpu to 1.3volts.
Run cinebench again.
Compare values and temps and report back.
Something seems out of place.
 
At stock temp sat at 95 and voltages peaked at 1.35v but stayed generally between 1.18v and 1.26v Score = 8634
Whilst downloading Ryzenmaster and allowing chip to cool again voltage was jumping between 1.33v and 1.43v
Left everything as is in Ryzenmaster but manual set max voltage to 1.3. Aborted early as chip jumped to 99oC within 30secs voltage between 1.25-1.288

Can't understand why idling (max cpu usage 3% sitting at 3.6GHz) is pushing higher voltages than 100% across all 12 threads at 3.6GHz
 
Idle voltages of up to 1.5v is how Ryzen 3XXX works. Nothing wrong at all there, except for the cooling (you may need to increase the CPU fan profile, reseat the cooler but that's already been done? Or upgrade the cooler). It lowers voltages for each core when more load is put onto more cores (unless you set a manual Vcore).

What case is it in?
 
The voltages sound correct, but the temps seem way high.

-Just checked my my 3800X, average core voltage over the last couple hours is showing 1.404v with a peak voltage of 1.494v. These voltages are in line with what I have seen since I bought it in the summer of 2019. (It also drops down to 1.344v under load like CB R20)
 
Same question as Danny. What case and fan setup you got, the side getting hot sounds like the heat is trapped/ recirculating. The only part of my cases to ever really get warm is the top under load and the back of the gpu.

BitFenix Neos with 2 fronts as intakes and 1 rear as exhaust.

Temps have only been an issue the last couple of days.

Will try reseating the cooler again and get a new one ordered

Re: case I don't think it should be terrible even though the two fronts aim at GPU and below it so the CPU doesn't get fed all that much. Also the HDD cages are an obstacle for those two fronts. Still you have the rear which should help direct airflow up and past the CPU.

Understood about temps only being an issue past few days. Nevertheless would be interesting to find out the temp difference with the side panel open and with it closed. Hopefully it's not one of those pre-noise dampened Neos with the front starved even more of air. :)

Hope you get results with another cooler reseat.

Thankfully not, took the out of the fan grilles as well so it's only the the clip in filters and case mesh in front of the fans.

Will try the side panel off as well as reseating cooler once I've finished work

Are all the fans actually spinning?

Yeah all fans spinning apart from GPU fans at idle, though they start spinning as soon as a load gets put on so seem to be operating properly.
 
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £115.96 (includes shipping: £0.00)


Trying to decide which to go for, thinking the Brocken as the Arctic is VERY close to the side panel (3mm clearance) unless the Cryorig or Ben Nevis would be the better option.

Or if anyone has any better suggestions...money is tight so ideally don't want to go much more the. £30 unless massively better.

Not planning on overclocking except possibly turning precision overdrive back on once I k ow temps are stable again​
 
I could live with 69° gotta be better than 95-99° :cry:

Even the potential slightly higher temp I'd get from the Brocken. Just really hoping that it's just the cooler rather than an issue with the chip, though from responses on here etc it seems the chip is fine
 
Brocken Eco Advanced now fitted and maxing out at 84oC with XMP back on a Precision Boost Overdrive enabled. Star Trek online maxed it at 73oC so massive difference,

May consider getting a new case with better airflow but for now happy with the improvement.

Thanks guys :D
