Random Ryzen Temp Spikes

[Guest]

Okay I'm still new to the Forums and to PC building in general but I have a troubleshooting question I must ask of you, tech enthusiast extraordinaires! 

 

My Ryzen 7 1700 with its stock cooler is having random temp spikes in Ryzen Master. A quick Google search tells me it's either being displayed wrong or my CPU is jumping from 39 to 51 and simmering back down to 39 because of XFR or whatever.

 

Basically how do I stop it? 

 

For reference, I have an ASRock AB350 Pro4 and 16 gb of DDR4 Ryzen compatible ram, rated for 3200 but at 2400 now, too scared to xmp or whatever, and a 1070ti. I'm very nervous about computer building and temperatures and everything and this is my first real build, so I'm both excited and paranoid as hell.

 

EDIT: Yeah it normally rises 10 degrees at a time and drops back down, even when idling with nothing but Ryzen master open.

 

What's causing it? How do I stop it? What am I doing wrong, what did I do wrong? Should I just buy prebuilt and let the company worry for me?

Download HW Monitor and compare your temps between Ryzen Master.

Could I get a link?

You could, you know...Google it, but OK, here you go.

Didn't think Googling "Hardware Monitor" would take me to a specific result...oops

CPU ID Confirms the spikes are happening, random 10 degree spikes during idling time, what now?

It's XFR. That's totally normal, don't worry about it. Even if I turn it off in my UEFI it still seems to spike. It's not dangerous. Your CPU can handle huge voltage spikes on a couple of cores at a time no problem.

It's caused by Ryzen Master. It doesn't allow the CPU to actually idle. Ryzen Master, on my Ryzen 5 1600, eats about 10% CPU constantly. This causes the CPU to heat up briefly, fans to spin faster to cool it back down, temps fluctuate. Close Ryzen Master and watch HWMonitor's Package Temperature.
