ryzen 2700x edc issue

[jamesbondlq]

I just built this system finally got to the point where the system isn't randomly freezing. Having issue where the edc is at 97-100% and sometimes throttles to about 2.1 ghz. temps range from 40c-120c depending on the program used to check temp.

 

cpu: 2700x

motherboard: asrock x470 taichi

power suply: evga gq 750 watt

gpu: evga gtx 1070 TI

ssd: samsung 850 pro

hdd: SEAGATE IRONWOLF 8TB HD

ram: 32GB g.skill ripjaws v 3200

cooler: corsair h100i pro rgb

Is the powerplan set to either high performance or to ryzen powerplan?

[jamesbondlq]

in windows it's set to high performance

Check the Heatsink, is the Pump working, does the Base have contact, no sticker on the Cooler, Paste between Cooler and Heatsink.

Case Temperature?

 

How does it look with the Boxed Heatsink??

the pump is working, it should i reset it and cleaned and reapplied thermal paste, nothing on the cooler, didn't try the stock cooler. case temp should be good if the motherboard is runing at 40c

[Stefan Payne]

Try HWInfo64 for the CPU Temperature.

 

Because right now it looks like the other programm is showing bullcrap.

Is it overclocked at all? If so reset to optimized defaults and check again sounds like major instability

[jamesbondlq]

No not overclocked and I’ve swapped out motherboard and cpu already because thing that was causing an issue with freeuthat was a bad windows install

@jamesbondlq You can't use High Performance with the 2700X if you want XFR or PBO to function properly. I didn't see anything odd in your screenshots temperature wise but I do see it isn't using its full frequency range and this is because you're using a High Performance power plan. Change that to Balanced. If you want to use Ryzen Balanced then you will have to change within that:

change advanced power settings>Processor power management>minimum processor state>20%.

 

Windows balanced defaults at 5% which is fine, but AMD Ryzen Balanced defaults to 90% which is fine for first generation Ryzen. The 2700X needs the value to be 20%.

 

Also, Windows changes the value to 100% a lot. I have to change it back constantly to 20%. I haven't figured out why yet.

that seemed to have fixed it kinda. It under volts to about 0.8 volts and under clocks to about 2.2 ghz like that a lot. while in games it still pegs the edc to 100% and only boosts to about 4 ghz but drops down to 2.2 alot and goes to about 70c in gaming.

Which motherboard do you have? 

 

The .8 and the 2.2 are normal.

Ok then you should be able to use PBO. You can try in Ryzen Master, but I would recommend just doing it BIOS. Check under Advance AMD CBS or NBIO and look for Precision Boost Overdrive. You can enable it and then set the multiplier. 

 

Also, you might be able to manually raise EDC however I would just suggest using the multiplier.

it was set to auto as defult. I set it to enable. it boost up to abouti seen it go up to 1.53v. it also bumped up the power avaiable  to edc (650 A vs the 140 A) but also is only siting at around 7% and spiking up to 32%

Sounds good. You should see your multi-core sustained usage have higher speeds or at least stay higher for longer depending on which multiplier you selected in PBO settings.

I have the same edc cap on my 2700x. I have an Asrock 470x Master SLI motherboard and in the bios version that it comes with, there is no option to enable anything.

What bios version are you running?

I have never updated bios in my entire life and i'm a bit scared of doing so.

Scroll up and you'll find the solution to your EDC issue.  You have to make an adjust to the power plan you're using.

 

Also, updating a BIOS is simple.  Just give it a go.

Now i did find the setting to enable PBO in my BIOS. It worked fine for a day but now my pc doesn't want to boot if I have it enabled. It's pretty strange since it shouldn't have worked in the first place I believe. Now the Asrock master SLI motherboard has had some controversy around it not having the power phases that it boasted on launch. My temps on the vrm's were fine and there was no strange behaviour while i had PBO enabled. My power supply should be sufficient to power my system but i'm going to double check. Is there anything you could think of that would be the issue?

 

(addressing your last comment. I have read the entire convo carefully and i have made changes to the power plan, but it still instantly caps to 140a when doing the slightest of gaming, now while I had PBO enabled the cap was raised to 220a (James got 650a which is interesting) and i got no cap anymore.)
