Hi everyone, I'm new to the OC and all these things with advanced voltage settings and so on, but I guess my problem might have something to do with Vcore voltage or related stuff. If anyone had the same problem with 2600x, I'd appreciate any advise.
I'm having some weird temperature behaviour on my Ryzen 5 2600x. It seems to have very unstable temps at idle and I tried some radical means (like installing a way more powerfull cooling system than needed for 95tdp), but nothing really changed signifficantly. I think this might be either the processor itself, the system (win 10 is weird sometimes) or the new motherboard that I have just installed.
I recently swapped the motherboard from Asus "Prime B350 plus" to GIGABYTE "Aourus X470 gaming 7 Rev. 1.1 (BIOS ver. F5 2018)" and the cpu cooler from DeepCool Gammax 400 to Thermalright Macho Rev B. With DeepCool, the cpu was idling at an average of 45C cycling with spikes up to 51 - 53C. I swapped the cooler to the Thermalright Macho Rev B expecting that the bigger heat sink and greater airflow will decrease idling temperature and somehow remove these weird flucuations resulting in a +/- smooth temp graph. Finally, I've had to add 2 more 140mm intake fans right on top of the cpu in order to get the temps cool down on some little 10 degree in general, but it didn't anyhow fixed these sudden temperature jumps. I'm still seeing these temp spikes up to 52C - 42C and an overall temp graph looks like a mountain pass. Yes, it did lowered the overal temps, but didn't changed it's dynamics, which I can conclude isn't a cooling problem.
The reason that I see might be causing these jums is the way the new motherboard manages the voltage on the cpu. I can see these temp spikes clearly related to the voltage jumps on the Vcore from 1 to 1.3 - 1.4v. Also, I see in the task manager, that only one core out of 6 has these voltage jumps. I'm not sure if that is normal or not for Ryzen, as soon as there is some kind of a "turbo boost" technology there, which might just react to some processes in the system, but still, this happens constantly at idle with a similar interval between the voltage jumps.
I checked for any services that could eat cpu in the background, but did not found anything signifficant, including viruses and junky apps. I also have nothing like addons for browsers, any sort of extensions and other junk installed in the system (i prefer to keep it clean from any BG apps). I was conducting several tests with several cooling setups with at least hour - long time intervals, to make sure, that the overal temps are only affected and not the dynamics of their change.
So, could it be something what motherboard does with voltage just on it's own? Should I fix it manually in BIOS in this case?
I didn't change anything in the new BIOS when I swapped motherboard. Nor I reinstalled the win 10 itself, just updated the drivers for the chipset. The only thing - I added an XMP frofile (default 1) for the memory, to make it work on 3000Mhz (It's actual stated frequency, which I also checked for compability with Ryzen before), but I also tried to turn in off in one of the tests and nothing changed at all.
