Ryzen 5000 series- minimum processor state

Hey all,

 

What should the minimum processor state be set to for the Ryzen 5000 series? 

 

Thanks!

I'm not OCing, so Windows balanced power plan nothing to change.

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..

Check the minimum processor state on whatever your current power plan is.

I have done 4 AMD builds in the past couple of years and with a clean install Windows chose a 90% minimum processor state on two of the 4 installs.    This made it almost impossible for the processor to ramp down.

I read that if its below 99% then Windows will try control the downclocking itself. But if you have the minimum set to 99% then the Ryzen cpu itself handles the downclocking. I set mines to 99% just to see what happens. Its sort of interesting. Hwmonitor & Hwinfo64 shows that the clocks are stuck at 3.6ghz until they boost. But Ryzen master shows them hitting 200mhz or below and most of them sleeping. I don't think any non ryzen master is accurate when it comes to reading the clock speeds.

Update:

I put my vcore back on auto. When I did this before I would crash within 15mins while playing a game. But with my minimum processor state set to 99% it hasn't given the whea 18 bsod. I'll keep you guys updated.
