Processors

Hi,

I got these two 3 days ago. CPU temperatures seemed high to me. Idle in windows, cpu temp randomly jumps from 42c to 50s and 60s. I tested running Prime95 with blended settings. Temp was fixed to 55c. Then I tried smallest ffts. CPU temp jumped 84c in 30-40 seconds. I tested with AeroCool Likai240 water cooler. Is there a problem or running at these temps is normal for this cpu?

spookslam, the AMD Processor Specifications do not contain 'Max Temps' for Ryzen 3, so until we hear differently I assume that AMD is convinced that the control code running in the processor can deal with the temperature.  I hope someone from AMD will clear this up soon - I have opened a Ticket.  In general with all Ryzens, temperatures jumping around is normal - we are told.  Enjoy, John.

Thank you, John. I'll be waiting to hear the news too.

is ur r5 also permanetly in boost?

spookslam, please post a screenshot of Ryzen Master (RM) - simply drag-n-drop the image into your reply.  Just learned that RM contains the maximum temperature specification.

mlxg56,  I think I have asked you for a screenshot of RM also and did not get it.  If you will post it in your thread, I will take a look.  Site unseen, I think you need to a Clear CMOS using instructions in your User Manual and stop any messing around in BIOS including any OC applications running!

Enjoy, John.

No. Mine is dynamically jumping up an down generally from 3300mhz to 4125/4200mhz. I get generally around 45c-52c browsing. It sometimes exceeds 52c going up like 60c-69c.

Here is my Ryzen Master screen shot.

I also found this in the MSI Command Center.Maximum TDP value is shown as 128.

spookslam, your RM look fine.  I do not believe in MB Vendor applications and your AMD Processor specification says TDP is 65 Watts.  I strongly recommend you uninstall MSI Command Center!  Your RM Peak Speed 678 MHz looks silly and I think needs to be reported to AMD Online Support.  Make sure you are running the latest RM version, 2.0.0.1192, then please open a ticket and supply the RM screenshot.  Thanks and enjoy, John.

Peak Speed changes every single second. You can see 400mhz one second and other second 4127mhz, the other second 2120mhz. It is not fixed or stable. Changes continuously. I have just installed Ryzen Master, so probably running the latest version.
