Gigabyte AB350N-ITX
Kraken X61 AIO cooler
I've been having a problem where my CPU constantly runs at or near 4GHz even when there is no load. This leads to high idle temps (65c). This only happened after I started using Ryzen Master, before this I would use my motherboard's overclocking tool however it was quite useless because it's made by Gigabyte and their software is garbage. Ryzen master says everything is at stock.
When I put a load on the CPU, my temps go up to 90 degrees and my motherboard VRMs thermal throttle at 125 (!) degrees celsius. The VRM's overheating is a seperate problem but for now I'm just worried about my CPU's inability to control its clocks.
I've tried to reset my BIOS settings to default but this problem remains. When I set the Ryzen Master profile to manual, I can pin the CPU at a lower speed but then it doesn't boost under load so I'd be losing out on performance.
I've also installed the Ryzen balanced power plan but this changed absolutely nothing.
All I want is for my CPU to run at low speeds when there's no load and to boost to (or near) its rated boost clock when there's a load. Any idea how I could get there?
