Posted May 4, 2020 Hello, good people, I hope you're all doing well. I recently upgraded from Skylake System to a Ryzen 9 3900X about a month ago. Despite a few stability issues with my RAM, everything seems to be fine and the system was stability tested with Prime 95 for about two hours and I also did a combined test using Prime 95 on all but one thread in conjunction with Unigine Heaven to stress the CPU and GPU for another two hours and everything was fine. I also used Memtest for about three hours with no errors. The problem I have is that my Vcore during LIGHT loads goes above 1.4 volts and that's in Windows. I once saw it at 1.45 Volts in my UEFI. I haven't overclocked the CPU, I only used the D.O.C.P profile for my RAM and even that needed to be lowered to 3466 to achieve stability. I'm also using the latest BIOS. CPU temperature never exceeded 85 o C even during the Prime 95 Stress test Is this SAFE for Ryzen or will it degrade my CPU over time?

Posted May 4, 2020 iirc 3rd gen will run high voltage under light loads and drop to 1.325 at full load Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.

Technology is a curse... why? Because it's so addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 4, 2020 Author So, should I try undervolting it for safety?

If it'll make you feel a bit safer but this is normal behaviour as far as I'm aware but I've dropped my voltage myself I'd say do it as your own dicreation though. Technology is a curse... why?

Posted May 4, 2020 Author OK, it seems a common enough behavior for Ryzen. I think I'll undervolt it a bit when I have time and see what happens.

Thank you anyway for the incredibly fast replies That's not an issue dude anytime, I'm trying to optimise mine at the moment myself properly! Technology is a curse... why? Because it's so addictive.
