7950X3D - Temperature Clarification

Hey guys, 

i am a proud owner of a 7950X3D and just had a early "Bugged" Bios which locked my Voltage to just around 1V. So far so good. With a bit of curve Optimizer i was able to get around 36500k in cinebench and a maximum Temperature of 65° (idle around 35).

Now, with the new 1404 ASUS bios my voltage is up to 1.375v and a "Boot" temperature of around 71°, Idle around 55.

I just wonder if i should go back to "The Old" unsupported Bios where i run lower voltages and lower Temperatures, if i should go for a "static" undervolting attempt, or if i just let it go and be fine with my 75° Temperature spike when i open my Browser... The Cooler by The way is a EK Quantum Velocity 2 and it is correctly Mounted. i double checked.

I also wanna know guys, if it is correct, that Ryzen 9 7000´s can run their specified Maximum Temperature day in day out. I read an Article where it says AMD 7000´s cpus can run these Temps (89° for this prozessor) 24/7 without reducing their lifespan as they were designed for this "high Temps"

please get me a clear vision on that. TIA

have a Nice Day

Hi, both scenarios are very strange, 1V only to vCore? Doesn't make much sense.

Boot temperatures? You mean, inside BIOS? At 71ºC that's just too much.

Can you share more information?


In any case, if You have a ASUS RoG board you should have the flashback option. Not sure about TUF and Prime.

Hey, sorry for the lack of Information. Tried to stay on Focus for the Temperature Problem.
The TUF Board i have (x670E) has a Flashback Option. Already flashed it 2 Times as i found that voltage weird aswell. And yes with the Bios 0809 i have a almost fix Voltage of Around 1v, what gives me a smooth temperature of 65° in Cinebench. Problem here; The boost wont work good because of AGESA, so no 5700mhz boost. With one of the newer UEFI´s, i have a "jumping" voltage of 1.123v up to 1.212 in Bios. My bios temp is Around 45-50 degrees and the "Boot up" (Loading Windows) results in a 71° peak. Also some "background" operations in windows spiking the cpu into 70´s°... i Checked the 3rd time if my cooler is correctly Mounted, and if the flow direction is correct aswell, and it seems all good. Cinebench heats me up to 85° degrees what seems to be "Normal" for this cpu and i think that must be on purpose after i did some research. i just want to be clear on this side before i run my CPU with that temperatures as i had a "better" temperature and voltage before. Also the "peak-voltage" with 1.375v seems pretty unnecessarily high. i got my CPU with 0.885v up to 5.255mhz with the "1v UEFI"... so i guess i dont even need that exorbitant voltage. 

My question is: Is it REALLY safe to run the CPU´s that "hot" day in day out?!? and if yes where can i read AMD´s statement for that? Other Question is; Should i "Flashback" and loose my "boost" ability, undervolt it or just let it what it is? 

Much thanks...

I see, that is much more info to work around. Thanks

It could be possible that the update corrects a boosting issue, so you now see much higher temps and voltages being applied, if so, thats pretty normal.

I have the non X3D and from what I've read around the X3D is a bit different, anyway my advice remains the same.

You can undervolt your CPU using offset values, something like -0.1v or more, thats up to you and the stability you can reach.

Conclusion, 85ºC is not bad but you can shave a couple of ºC with undervolt.

No mention of 24/7 in this, https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/ryzen-7000-series-let-s-talk-about-power-temperature/ba-p/554629

Ryzen 5 5600x, B550 aorus pro ac, Hyper 212 black, 2 x 16gb F4-3600c16dgtzn kit, NM790 2TB, Nitro+RX6900XT, RM850, Win.10 Pro., LC27G55T..

Wow, ok that clears a lot. Thanks for that Article. i see there is NO 24/7 mention about that, what i indeed misleaded. i meant the day in day out temperature... Gaming, Browsing, Homeschooling etc. The BOOST peaks seems intended to be that high too and my 83° Cinebench seems normal and targeted temperature. So it is safe for the chip to work that hot?! Right?

I guess i try to lower the voltage a bit just for the power savings, enable pbo and Curve optimize the cpu. 

I will then have a great Chip i guess as i was able to push it on low voltage to a really good value.

 

Thanks again for the Help and have a nice day
