Evening all. Very quick and simple question, these maximum voltages look very high to me. Should I be readjusting something in the BIOS? Is it boosting right? Do the boost clocks look correct?

Basically, what is ok and what isn't about these readings? Cheers :)

Normal for them to go that high on vcore
When under lighter load/less cores engaged
The voltage lowers the more load its put under
Bit weird to get used to if you are used to
Intel cpus :)
 
No worries! I do appreciate your input, not had an AMD for 15 years and a lot has clearly changed.

If anyone who is an expert on the Ryzens and is viewing on a PC, I'd be very grateful if you could check out that screen in the original post and for any input you could give too.
 
If your concerned you could undervolt a bit and still keep the same performance would run some cinebench R20 before and after while applying a -0.05 negative offset and seeing if it effects performance. Should reduce temps a bit too.
 
Thanks for answering. I'm not really concerned as such, it's sufficiently cooled and runs well. But just wanting someone with a bit of experience with these chips to just confirm that what I posted above is as it should be :)
 
All looks great. Enjoy

1.5 volt is only very light load so no risk of damage. Put it under load and it will drop to 1.3 - 1.4 , all good.
 
Need to get some compressed air in the case and give it a good clean, gonna run with the sides off for a few days. The fans are RGB and the motherboard chipset is too, might post up a picture here when it's done.

no idea what said:
Nice clean looking build :)

Cheers :) I got a new case last year, kinda glad I did now for this one. It'll look ok when it's been cleaned and the tempered glass is back on. The case is good for cable management, you can tuck it all away nicely.

Those with OCD may freak out at the PCI-E slot cover that is missing, that's staying out for now as firstly I have to find it, and secondly I'm using the optical out on the motherboard. I did use my Asus Xonar with the previous build. I thought it's just ones and zeros coming down that optical cable and that it'd be as good as my soundcard as my amp is doing the sound processing, but audio experts on the Internet seem to think a sound card transporting those ones and zeros is better quality. I dunno, it certainly sounds far better than any analogue onboard sound I ever had.
