ryzen master vs everything else

[smoothnobody]

ryzen master shows different readings than cpuz hwmonitor hwinfo etc. example, ryan master will show my cpu downclocking to 50mhz and 0.3v while everything else shows my cpu is running full speed 4.0-4.4ghz and 1.45 volts. i'm assuming ryzn master knows better since it's amd software, but the fact that all these other programs are saying the same thing and ryzen master is the odd man out i'm wondering who is correct and why the readings are so different.

Is that under load? Or at idle?

What cpu? You can try updating the bios and check. But in my opinion, I would trust hwinfo64 for ryzen voltage monitoring.

Ryzen Master doesn't report the real frequency, but rather one that accomodates core sleep states. Zen CPU's litterally can't clock to 50MHz. Hence why it's reported as a "effective frequency". Keep in mind the voltage changes much faster than monitors refresh, so some of them report just the peaks, which will be a turbo state.

right now, my 3800x idle with nothing else open or running......

HWmonitor shows 3.8ghz and 1.0v idle. it will spike up to 4.4ghz and 1.49v but it never drops below 3.8ghz.

ryzen master shows it going up and down constantly, average is 50-500mhz and 0.3-0.6v. lowest i've seen is 40mhz and 0.2v.

bios is updated. no startup programs. AMD balanced power plan.
