Did you use some real TIM or just the crusty grey crap that came on the bottom of the HSF? Use some better TIM, ensure your cooler is installed correctly, and run a stress test. The idle temps are going to be high by default. AMD keeps clock speeds high to keep the system running snappy even when under lighter load. As long as you're well under TJ max under load you're good to go.

Use HWmonitor to measure temps and use AIDA64 to stress your CPU.

That voltage looks a little high. I think that's probably what is causing the temperature issue, 3000 series is prone to that. Try downing the voltage a bit to like 1.1 or 1.2 and check the temps then, and stress test it to see if it is stable.

Some of the latest BIOS still have bugs, if you have any of these settings set them as such, if this doesn't work try a older BIOS, try 1.7 with ABBA 1.0.0.3 ABBA


like others said it could potentially be a issue with CPU mounting onto cooler, the 1.3-1.45v swings in voltage are normal for individual ryzen 3000 cores, but not if its constantly pushing those voltages out and never letting the cores sleep/ if the 1.3-1.4v at idle average is the average core voltage not just individual cores.  Get HWInfo64 or Ryzen Master and let us know what it reports if anything from above doesn't cure the issue.  

Feel free to screenshot some pics of how it runs at idle, and under load etc.  Exit benchmark (or hard shut-down system) if CPU temps get over about 85-90C

 

Sidenote: i don't have these issues but for whatever reason do occasionally see high temps in BIOS like 50C, obviously though your issues go beyond this

Well, I ordered a Mugen 5 Rev B cooler for the thing; should be here Friday. I got a chance to try some FarCry 5 on it this evening, and temps were in the low 80s during gaming...I can't send something like that out the door; I suspect his parents keep the house pretty warm during Texas summers. In for a penny, in for a pound I guess. 

Regarding the settings, I'll go take a look right now.

So just went and checked out the settings, I changed C-states to enabled vs. Auto, and same for the PSU idle control. I couldn't find the other settings. 

 

What's interesting is my BIOS temps and my Ryzen Master temps don't align. Sitting in BIOS idling it's showing 63c; immediately booting up to Windows I'm getting 50c in Ryzen Master. 

 

RM also seems to show lower voltages too; bouncing around 1.0-1.2 and occasionally jumping up to 1.4 as the CPU throttles for some background task.

Hopefully better CPU cooler helps tame this, what type of case is the system fitted in and what type of airflow does it have?

When in RM does it look like this or is "average" way higher (similar to peak at idle) and or do CPUs never go into sleep states?

I'd say play with the voltages. My BIOS idle is around 45-50C in a room at about 35C (albeit with a cheap aftermarket cooler). I have a conservative OC at 4.05GHz all cores on just under 1.2V (even lower on a previous bios revision), but yeah my Asus board defaulted to giving my over 1.4V stock.

 I'd love to tell you, but my 'average' voltage is identical to my peak voltage; they refresh frequently, and are the same number. It seems like it's not storing the average.

I know it sounds stupid, but did you try older 1.70 BIOS? There have been some teething issues with some of the latest ones on certain boards.  Personally had to revert from a pre-release of similar 1.0.0.4B AGESA BIOS because of significant stabilty issues, different issues but still. 

[KingRanch27]

Doesn't sound stupid. I have it downloaded...that said, it looks like minutes ago ASRock released 2.20...they also pulled 2.0 from the web. 

 

I work in the industry, so find this very very interesting. Flashing to 2.20 now, will backrev to 1.7 if 2.2 exhibits weirdness.
