PC Processors

[TFB96]

Hi everyone, pc newbie here and I need help to lower the stress levels.

i have a ryzen 7 7700x and its running at 1.5v core and 113w when gaming. I’ve seen that’s a problem and i need to change, can someone confirm? It does hold decent temps at that level when gaming, average of 65/66 Celsius id say.

any help is appreciated! Thanks

Running your Ryzen 7 7700X at 1.5V core and 113W while gaming is on the high end, though temperatures of 65-66°C are still within safe limits. However, 1.5V is higher than usual for this CPU, and prolonged high voltage may lead to increased power consumption and potentially shorten the CPU's lifespan. Consider undervolting to around 1.3V-1.35V for better efficiency and longevity, while ensuring system stability with stress tests.

Is it on AUTO? If it is, its normal to get that high occasionally. Most CPU's I had, and let me throw some examples around, the 2700X and 7950X on AUTO will definitely go up to 1.489v (1.5v rounded up).

If you feel its to much you can offset undervolt like I did or Curve Optimize it. It will improve average/peak temperatures sometimes and possibly increase headroom for it to boost longer. Hey, its free performance.

65ish during gaming is actually quite good, so don't worry about that.

I have a video for the undervolting that can help you out if you wish.

Good Luck with the system

The 7700X is a 105W TDP processor, which has a PPT power limit of 142W, and as @johnnyenglish  states is normal to spike to 1.5V and 113W when gaming.

Based on your reported temps I'd say you have nothing to worry about, however if it is bothering you having the processor boosting that high there are a few options to reduce power, either as @johnnyenglish stated you can adjust Curve Optimizer with a negative value, you can reduce the PPT limit or use ECO mode to set the TDP to 65W for example.
