Is my 2600x Normal???

[EfeKamil]

So, my 2600x on idle is hot, voltage hungry and runs at high clocks. Is everything normal? I disabled PBO from the BIOS. I am running on the windows balanced power plan. (It sometimes gets back to the Ryzen Power plan, i dunno how to fix that.)

Reset CMOS and use the Ryzen Balanced profile. Also install the latest windows updates, BIOS and chipset drivers and use Ryzen Master to track it

This isn't idle. The CPU is consuming at least 50W of power so there is some software running in the backround.

Aren't these normal? I'm running on he latest BIOS and Windows version. Here is my idle Ryzen Master photo:

It actually isnt fully idle there is Discord, Steam, GHUB, Spotify, AI Suite, and my keyboards software running.

So you're looking at load temps and wondering why they aren't low and why the clocks aren't low?...

Ok I will close down all the programs running on the back. and send another photo.

Aren't voltages still a bit high?

You're still at 15% utilization (load)

What should i do to keep the util. so low?

Nothing? This is normal - if your load thermals are under 80*C (for max load) - just enjoy your CPU and stop fixing problems that don't exist

I'll try a max load, but which load should i try, Prime95? Other things? And should i turn PBO back on?

Aida64 and first do without then based on results decide about PBO

Ok, thanks for the help!

And my EDC(CPU) on Ryzen Master is always at nearly 90% when my normal background programs are on. Is this normal?
By the way is Ryzen Balanced or Windows Balanced better for the 2600x?

Assuming latests windows updates are installed - Windows Balanced.

Ignore EDC

So, you are telling me that those clock speeds are normal when the background programs are running?

Yes - they are, after all, putting load on the CPU

Guys, I am still worried about my voltages. Is 1.4v (core) normal? Does it damage my 2600x? And what should I do to lower it???

If everything is stock and the BIOS/firmware/chipset drivers are up to date, there is no reason to worry

Thanks 5x5, are you sure that won't damage my cpu?

Double check everything I just pointed out.

 

BIOS version,

Firmware drivers

Chipset drivers

Stock with PBO disabled in the BIOS

Latest OS update

Balanced power plan
