For those of you running a manual fixed OC on a 3rd-Gen Ryzen CPU, what are your temps like?
My R5 3600 *IDLES* at 59-66C! With nothing more than a web browser, Skype (not in a call), Task Manager, HWMonitor, and Firefox. CPU load under 10%.
I currently have a 125W TDP old-school AMD 4-heatpipe cooler with copper base on there.
I just tried a manual OC with the F41b (AGESA 1.0.0.3AB) BIOS on my B450 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX.
CPU Freq. 4000
CPU Volt. 1350
In Ryzen Master, it shows 4000 Mhz, and 1.35V (locked).
Unfortunately, when I start all 12 threads of PrimeGrid in BOINC, in no short order, my temps hit 107C !!!! And rising!!!!
Yet, HWMonitor says Package Power 111W. Which should be within the 125W TDP that this heatsink handles.
WTF is going on? I'm starting to think, that for some of these CPUs, the temp sensor itself is BORKED. Like the problems with FM2. (It seems that AMD always has temp sensor problems, with new process nodes and designs?)
That's the only thing that I can think of.
My 2700 @ 4.0Ghz, 1.35V, takes more Package Power, up to 140W. It's on 240mm AIO WC (CM ML240L), and gets up to 85-88C on water.
So, it seems, that I should put this one on water too. But is it possible, due to my high idle temp readings, that something about the sensors are borked, and that I should consider the delta between idle and load, instead of the absolute value that Ryzen Master is telling me? IOW, I should be OK to let this particular CPU hit 117C in Ryzen Master?
Edit: Or does this have something to do with the thermal density of 7nm chips? Less power usage than 12nm, but still hotter?
Edit: Does anyone know how to detect PROCHOT in Ryzen Master? There's an option under settings to "Disable PROCHOT", but I want to know how to detect it.
