Edc at 70% at idle and 90% while gaming is that safe?

I recently pick a Ryzen 5 5600g and gtx 3060 16ram B450m à pro Max motherboard

my temp (gpu40 to 50) at idle and 55 to 65 while gaming and cpu 50 at idle and 60 to 65 while gaming

SaberLOVE, please post a screenshot of Ryzen Master (RM) running Cinebench R24 Multicore. Please do a Clear CMOS before and post only image of RM. Thanks and enjoy, John.

SaberLOVE, you may not be able to install RM on a 5600G, but please try it. Run both Cinebench and RM at the same time. I assumed you built this machine, but if not I suggest you ask the builder to do a Clear CMOS for you. Your Main Board manual should explain how to do a Clear CMOS. What are you using to measure temperatures? Please post screenshots. Thanks and enjoy, John.

I have the Ryzen 7 5700G and my EDC also reads high.

EDC is Electrical Design Current and is a limit designed to prevent overloading the VRM power handling capabilities of the motherboard. I have increased my limits to allow higher PBO boost, but even set at 90A my 5700G reads 60% EDC at idle, that would supposedly be 54A.

It is inconceivable that the processor is using 54A at idle (54A x 12V = 648W) when the PPT shows just 5W usage. I have measured the power draw at the AC outlet using a Kill-A-Watt meter and the entire system draws only 25W at idle. Even at full load (Cinebench Multi + Furmark) it's only 175W, that's with CPU and iGPU both fully loaded. So the EDC reading is erroneous IMO.

Other than that your idle temps seem a bit high, my 5700G idles at 32°C on a mediocre air cooler, but your load temps are nothing to be concerned about.
