Ryzen 5 3600 idle voltage is 1.4 - 1.45 always

My idle cpu voltage is always 1.4v. If i set the energy saving mode in the control panel, then the voltage drops to 0.9. How can i stabilize it?

Use ryzen master to manually set your voltage to 1.325 if not oc, if oc put it on 1.375, it is pretty easy to overclock with ryzen master

What program is reporting it? Zen2 keeps voltage but gates behind it, so it's not actually resting high voltage into the cores themselves. This is the way the design works, it just looks different than what we're used to. If you have high resting Temperature or Power Draw, that's a different issue.

 

Also, what Power Plan are you running?

It affects on temperature too. If the voltage is 1.4, the temperature is jumping between 50 - 60. If 0.9 temp is about 30-40. All power plans except "energy saving" gives 1.4v

AMD re-engineered their voltage regulation and sensor packages, this has been an issue since Zen2's launch. You might have a high idle voltage issue (it can happen), but most of it is just phantom numbers and new systems people aren't used to.

Are you using Ryzen Master or CPU-Z to read the voltages?

Is your bios up to date?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

No. I have checked it. My bios version is f41 although f50 is exsisting. Maybe updating it will help

I have my 3600 in override mode. It runs 4.2ghz always, never more and never less than 4.2ghz. 1.375v in bios which is 1.368-1.37v in CPU-Z. I have a 240mm AIO. I have it that way because during gaming it would never boost to 4.2ghz. Usually around 4.0-4.1ghz and the voltage in CPU-Z would always show voltage of 1.4v or a little more under load.

Temperature is what determines your safe voltage. If your temps are 80C or lower whatever voltage you need to get it at that level is fine.

In normal mode, yes. The system is holding the voltage before the core at that level so it can boost up faster. The core actually isn't stuck at that voltage under load. So it'll read around 1.45V. Run something like Cinebench R20. You should see it drop and hold in the 1.3V range. If it isn't, then either you have an issue or some setting is pushing voltage really high.

No it is not.  

So by turning up the voltage, the conductivity increases, more currency can flow and the processor gets hotter. Even if your cooling system keeps the overall processor temperature low, single capacitors can still overheat and blow.

Your processor will not get any faster by increasing the voltage, although this might be necessary, if you're increasing the frequency. The optimum would be to keep the voltage as low as possible, but as high as necessary.

Mine flips between 1.05v and 1.405V. That's the normal way the boost works. Under an actual all-core load, it sits around 1.325V.

 

Also, use either HardwareInfo64 or Ryzen Master. HWMonitor has yet to be patched to work with Zen2 properly.

Go to profile 1

From the control mode use manual

 

Set your cpu core frequenzy to 4.2ghz (all of them)

Now set the peak core voltage to 1.325V and run cinebench to test that.

 

What ram do you have? it seems like you have 2400mhz ram which is not that good for ryzen.

AMD pumps a lot of voltage into stock 3600 processors because the silicon is not the best binned chips. Manually reducing the Vcore until you hit a level where you do not get blue screens, soft crashes or application instability.

HWmonitor is busted. The information you've gotten from it is worthless for dealing with Zen2. That's why I said you use something else so far back in the thread.
