Ryzen 5 3600 is like a hyperactive child (Probably all 3rd gen Ryzens)

[lafrente]

Even while I am at desktop or doing some light browsing, the cpu can't just sit and relax. It's going up and down when I am doing things that are way below its belt. I am tired of hearing that high pitched wraith fan noise keep changing. Is there any medicine for this hyperactive child so that it shuts up and sits down? Without killing too much of the performance.

 

I am also worried about reliability. I got an Intel CPU / Nvidia GPU laptop that has total on time of 43.000 hours and still works perfectly. 43.000 HOURS! It didn't get there by jumping up and down every half a second. I wonder how long would this CPU last since it's jumping 10c every few seconds when its "wake up from sleep" voltage triggers. I doubt it can take this abuse for thousands of hours because the abuse is on every second CPU is on.

 

I don't even check any temp monitors anymore. I just set the fan to speed up at 55C and slow down below that in BIOS and listen to the CPU go apeshit while I am reading a text on a word document. I tried different fan curves, still the same result. It quickly hits that threshold if the fans aren't turning, cools down, gets the voltage and heats up again. 

 

Edit: BIOS, Windows 10, and firmware are all up to date.

a laptop wouldn't favor this type of sporadic CPU behavior because it would be a detriment to the battery life. Desktop CPUs are more aggressive because they have the room to be. My 8086k is also sporadic in "idle" state, jumping up in temps and frequency for seemingly nothing. It's windows, not the CPU.

I got an Intel desktop that is close to 30.000 hours and it doesn't have this kind of behavior.

yeah so it's not consistent, there you have it

 

not really an amd specific thing. some people did note the early problems with idle voltage but that was a while ago.

The processor is well designed in the SenseMi technology runs it super efficiently providing maximum performance within it's rated thermal thresholds. 

Rated (as most of the components are in your rig) to 100 thousand hours, it'll last as long as it needs to. That's about 11.5 Years life expectancy AT STOCK.

 

Yea, they boost high volts and the cpu feels that single core boost at 1.50v is necessary,  however.... it's a transistor. Same X86 design for decades now. They've just been shrinking the die and transistor size, but the voltages haven't changed much through the years while we gander at the scaling.

 

It was normal to see 1.5v on 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 45nm, All of them at some particular frequency would use 1.5v or more. 

AMD FX-9590 came out stock with 5ghz boost clocks with a boost P-state voltage of 1.5250v. 

 

As a rule of thumb, at 1.6v you are using chilling on just about all of the above mentioned die sizes. 

 

People sweat too much without the understanding. Do some research, ask the right questions. 

 

And to run it "cool and quiet" you set windows power plan to "power saving" (adjust the sleep timers to your needs) and it'll throttle to it's lowest p-state and become super energy efficient. Or just set up a fan profile.
