Undervolting 3700x help

[Sorenson]

System: 3700x, Gigabyte Aorus X570-I, Corsair H80i V2

 

Hi, this is my fist time using an AMD CPU and it seemed like it was idling at too high of a temperature. It was going between 46-52c so I added a -.06 V to the Dynamic Vcore - with the intention of reducing the system voltage. I am wondering if I did this correctly. My CPU now idles at around 42-46C and under load goes to about 69C. I am pretty new to messing around with Ryzen and Gigabyte's bios so any help would be appreciated. 

 

for reference: (this is a stock image of the bios, not my settings)

52 celcius is not high of a temperature

Is this normal for idling on Ryzen though? All of my intel CPU's have idled around 35~ C. If my CPU is using more voltage than it needs I would rather reduce it to allow more thermal headroom.

It is a bit high for the CPU. Which thermal paste are you using ?

I'm using Noctua NT-H1

I've seen folks using as much as -.1000V on VCORE and reporting stable through some AVX loads.  Others are reporting -.05V  ~  -.075V on VCORE.

Dang, I'm going to play around with it more. I adjust that through Dynamic Vcore correct?

I can't really help you there.  I'm not familiar with your BIOS.  In my BIOS it's called Offset and the other two options are Manual or Auto . . . so I guess if Dynamic is the option that isn't Manual or Auto in your BIOS then give it a try?
