Anyone know why this is happening

[thatpc.]

So I have a ryzen 5 2600 and I’m not sure what the EDC in ryzen master means. Right now I’m just idling and it’s going above 90% 

does anyone know if this is bad for the cpu and what can I do to fix it?

thx in advance

Nothing to fix.

See page 19: https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/ryzen-master-quick-reference-guide.pdf

 

It's basically the amount of CURRENT the motherboard says it can continuously supply to the processor. In your case motherboard says 90A continuously and 168A peak limit.... or the motherboard bios doesn't report any value and the values are defaults ryzen master expects any motherboard should be able to provide.

 

It's current, not power.... the total power consumption is voltage x current.

For example, your processor may idle consuming 15 watts, but with an idle voltage of 0.6v ... so the current would be 15w / 0.6v = 25A , which is ~28% of 90A

When you're gaming, the cpu may consume 70w but at higher voltage, like let's say 1.2v , so you're looking at 70w/1.2v = ~58A

is it bad for the cpu and mobo? because even on idle its at 90% and above

can't you read?

 

it means how much current the motherboard says it can give to the cpu continuously, and the peak limit is how much current it can give for short periods.

 

The processor doesn't care, isn't something that would affect the cpu in any way.

 

It's more or less something that translates in motherboard saying "hey processor, pretty please try not to go above 168A of current for short periods of time, or above 90A continuously, i'm not designed to do more than this"

The processor then uses that information and constantly tries to not go above those limits.

For example, if the value is very low, the processor may try to boost the frequencies less often or not boost at all.

 

For example, the processor may be able to reach 4.2 Ghz on 3 cores at the same time, using 100A of current.  For let's say a few seconds, the processor will do that, because the 100A is below the 168A peak limit, but if the application continues to need those 3 cores at high frequency, the processor realizes it may not be safe for the motherboard to keep using 100A and therefore it will reduce the frequency of one or more cores until the power consumption goes below 90A

So for a few seconds you'll have 3 cores at 4.2 Ghz and then for a long time you may have 1 core at 4.2 Ghz and the other two cores at 3.9 Ghz ... and overall the cpu may consume 85A, which is below the 90A continuous limit.

 

if the cpu ignores these  (if you force by overclocking) the motherboard still monitors the temperatures and if the temperature goes above some threshold, or the overall current goes above some limit, the motherboard will order the cpu to slow down anyway.

alright thanks sorry if i wasted your time i just didnt understand the first post
