Ryzen whats up with the power plans ?.

Hi , What's up with the Ryzen power plans ?

This is how I would expect the power plans to work !!!!

High Performance , Full on, set every thing to 11.
Balanced , Low clocked , but fast to ramp up and slow to ramp down.
Power Saving , Set the clocks to as low as possible disable the others cores, power saving to 11.

But all of the power plan set the clock to the max , push up the voltage (1.35v )and push up the temperature.
So the Ryzen power saving mode sound like a car on the starting line with the fan speeding up and slowing down , going from 40 to 80c every few seconds on the desktop 2% cpu.

So I`m using the normal windows power saver mode which is a constant 35 -36c . 2.1ghz
Why is the standard power plan better than the power made for AMD cpus


Gigabyte X570 aorus master Bios Fc , Ryzen 3900x , Latest windows and drivers , Default all auto , BUT Bclk 100mhz , SVM enabled , Sata Hot plug Disabled , XMP enabled , PCI-e set to gen 3.

1usmus Power Profile Universal is what you need

and follow the instructions you have to do into the bios.

Enjoy

Otherwise AMD Balanced and leave the system default but make sure the latest Chipset is installed AFTER you upgrade to latest bios. (even if you had installed the came chipset drivers)

My chip set driver are from the gigabyte motherboard support page , so they should be the latest driver , plus gigabyte's app centre says all up to date.
Wow , That was a lot of reading , I`ll try making a bios profile with all the changes and see if that profile helps at all.
I'm not looking for maximum performance , but a nice and cool system while at idle , but will perform when needed.

What is the difference between motherboard manufacturer chipset driver and from AMD? Do they optimise specificaly for motherboard?

Looking at Gigabyte web site for the x570 AORUS MASTER ( https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset ) the chip set is 549mb compared to only 50mb from the AMD web site for all AM4 motherboard ( https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x570 ) , so they must be more in the motherboard chip set download ?
