Low 1700 CPU temperatures?

[TheOverhaul]

Hi everyone.

 

Been having problems witth my 1700. It seems that it might be monitoring my temperatures wrong? At idle I'm getting  very low temperatures.

 

 

Same thing occurs when I run Aida to try stress it out.

 

 

I'm on the latest drivers from Asus, using the x370F Strix. Tried reflashing motherboard bios a few times to no avail. Have enabled HPET and on the highest performance power mode.

Using a Kraken x52  cooler, have tried multiple CPU temp monitoring programs but all are exhibiting the same behavior.

 

Do I just have a godlike chip (unlikely) or is there something else going on here.

 

Best regards,

what are you cooling it with? Is it a very cold room? Does your CPU Clock up under load?

Best program for checking temps is HWiNFO64 it reads straight of the diodes

the CPU is only at 1550mhz, so it will be at a low temp, mine right now at 1550mhz is 13C (on a big loop)

Somethings not right your clock is @ 1.55 ghz and your voltage is at 1.00 you need to wake that thing up!

At idle my CPU is at that temp using a Kraken X61 even with the stock wraith one can see low temps as long as you are not seeing lower then ambient temps its all good. 

 

Ryzen 1700 at stock is only a 65 watt CPU

Hi sorry, I didnt mention this in the initial post. 

 

It's actually overclocked to 4ghz,memory at 3200mhz.

 

Guess this also means the software isn't reading my overclocked properly? Only Windows computer properties is seeing 4ghz.

 

Cheers !

Quick question did you overclock with software or the bios? No matter how you did it you need to enter the bios reset to optimized defaults boot your system and confirm that the defaults applied then start to overclock in the bios but don't go apeshit on it try upping the clock in increments test and continue until unstable then add some voltage don't mess with memory overclocking until you obtain and hold a stable overclock on the cpu and if you did overclock with software my recommendation is uninstall that shit its to wonky and can cause the issues that you are having

Based on his aida64 photo that is under full load no Ryzen chip is going to run that cold unless something is not set right!

Hi! 

 

So I overclocked using BIOS. 

 

You bring up a good point, I checked the BIOS before overclocking and it was showing default results. 

 

Overclocking was pretty simple, went to 3.8, then 3.9, then 4, then 4.1 without any hitches? Only thing is it's not being read on anything but Windows and Cinebench. 

 

Any other software you would recommend?

No their fine but what you are experiencing is instability due to the overclock, what voltage did you have at 4.1 cause if you had that stable you won the lottery for sure! But reality is you won't see 4.1 and maybe not even 4.0 stable, at voltage over 1.39 / 1.40 the heat begins to be an issue for a daily driver I've had a stable overclock at 4.0 but temps were hanging around 75c and I just didn't see the point in running that temp for the little gained I'm at 3.95 and 1.39 full load and temps are in the low 60's

I had another look and the overclock seems to be stable now. Can go 4.1ghz at 1.375v? I'm just unsure about keeping it there for everyday use so I've put it down to 3.8ghz for daily use. 

 

Still a little unsure as of what to do, I'm still sort of uneasy not being able to know exact temperatures. Reckon this would be a good enough reason to get a refund from Amazon?
