New 2600X - low clocks, high voltage and high temperatures

[steffeeh]

Full build list at the bottom.

 

Just finished a build for my brother with a 2600X, however I'm having very high voltage during load and therefore very high temperatures - below boost clock.

When idle the voltage lies around 1.0V but regurarly spikes up to 1.4V with clocks regurarly spiking just below 4.2GHz.

During load it sits at around 1.32V occasionally going up to 1.344V, immediatelly giving me CPU temperatures of 75C and a VRM temperature of 65C within a minute. Yet my clocks seem to stay at 3.9GHz, even though boost is supposed to be 4.2GHz during load.

I've made sure Vcore is set to Normal instead of Auto, I've even tried setting an offset of +0.012V hoping it would land at 1.21V but nothing has worked so far.

I'm not that experienced with Ryzen processors, are these values normal? What ways are there to fix this and get more "normal" voltage (I assume it should around 1.2V stock)?

I have been told that silencio cases can be like a furnace but i don't have any to confirm. Anyway, try downloading Ryzen Master and set the clocks and voltage in there (Or use one of their presets), if that doesn't do it reset the CMOS (refer to the motherboard manual on how to do it)

Everything you have explained sounds normal. 4.2Ghz is not the all-core boost frequency, no processor works in that way the boost frequency is always for only a few cores with all-core frequency being lower.

So is it normal then that the CPU runs at 1.32-1.344V at stock during load?

Yes. Especially if you are using third party tracking. Only Ryzen Master accurately reports voltages, temps and clocks

yup. I OC'd my 2700x for this reason and keep temps in check. 

running 4.1Ghz @ 1.35v. idle temps 40ish under load 60-70c

Hwmonitor/ryzen master reports both the same for me.

HWiNFO can't track isles at all.

Didnt say HWinfo... I said HWmonitor.

I'll give that a look but HWmonitor was very broken 2 years ago when I last used it

many things happen in two years bud.

True, hence why I'll retest.

Sounds like a normally working processor to me. 
I don't know why, but for me RyzenMaster is always no matter what showing the same Voltage 1.1375V. 
Even reinstalling, upgrading and all didnt change anything. :'D

Keep in mind that the advertised boost frequency will usually only boost 1 core to 4.2 and it will only reach that frequency depending on thermal headroom. You can try disabling "AMD Cool n Quiet" through the bios but another member on another thread said AMD does not recommend this.

What happens when you set the vCore on Auto?

This is why I static voltage and manual OC my Ryzen chips. 

3800X @ 1.35v 4.3Ghz

2700X @ 1.33v 4.2Ghz

It's both faster and cooler, you just miss out on a very small amount of single core performance.
