Hello, just recently i built a new PC, with a Ryzen 3600 and MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, everything works, no hiccups so far. The only thing that seems wierd to me, are voltages, especially at idle. Mine do not drop below 1.34V. I have set the minimum processor state in power plan settings, to 5%, tried 1% also, but no change in voltages, but clocks do drop to around 200MHz. Ryzen master says that at desktop doing nothing, all 6 cores are "sleeping" but voltages are still at 1.34V. I have read online that at idle, voltages should drop below 1.2V. My temperatures atm, when writing this post with 4 tabs of chrome open, are hovering around 45C, while gaming, atleast in BF5 it hovers around 80-90C ( im using the stock cooler, the wraith steath). Is this something I should be worried about, or is this completely normal for Zen 2? BIOS has been updated to the latest one, so have the chipset drivers.

80-90 is a bit hot imo under load. Definitely some throttling happening then

Aida64 pushes it to 93C, clocks are around 3.95-4GHz. Also ambient temp is around 25-27C

Just found this thread, I have never seen voltage this low. 

All of his Voltage control settings look a bit different tho?

UPDATE: Reinstalled Ryzen Master, now a tab "Average Core Voltage" appeared and voltages are now dropping under 1V at idle. Also task manager isnt stuck at CPU Speed at 4.12GHz anymore. I guess everything was just bugged. Scores in cinebench r15 do match what other people are getting. I guess everything fixed itself now.
