Hello. I moved from intel 9900k to Ryzen. Been using the FX series long ago then I used intel for a decade. Moved to AMD due to needing to have both a working PC and PC that can game to some extent. But I came upon several key issues I would like to address. Please note, I am a PC specialist and I build and fix PCs for many years now. Below are my specs before I get into the issue.
CPU: Ryzen 5950X (6x120mm fans modded h150i Elite capellix cooler)
Mobo: Aorus x570 Xtreme rev 1.1
RAM: 128GB TridentZ Royal Gold 4000 (max I can run on this CPU is 3866 with all slots and 100% stability)
GPU: 2x Aorus 2080ti Xtreme (custom cooling solution)
PSU: AX1200i
- Right, to the point. Even with an extremely potent custom cooler when the CPU is set to Auto boost the idle temperate sits in the high 40s and mid-50s, the max load is around 58 to 64 celsius. (PBO is turned off). When the CPU is set to auto boost, it throws a lot unnecessary voltages that can reach even almost 1.5V. Why? To clarify this, my CPU is not able to go past 4.1/4.2 ghz during cinebench r23 tests (auto boost) but goes around 4.5 in say rise of the tomb raider. Setting manually core clock to 42 with voltage of 1.025 to 1.03ish the PC runs perfectly fine and passes all stress tests including most demanding games, aida64 overnight, and so on (the temperature at this point is 36/37 idle and max 55 celsius under max load. When the same speed is utilized when auto boost is enabled the voltage is very inconsistent, it even goes high as 1.48 resulting in a massive temperature increase up to 75 celsius under load. I tried increasing manually core clock to even 4.4 with minor voltage increase (lower than 1.2) and it works like a charm and probably can even go more down. So I am wondering why this unnecessary voltage is being thrown around for no apparent reason when I can't even achieve a fraction of rated speed? This needs to be looked into and patched up. I am Using the latest drivers and bioses. I tested voltages for 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3 and 4.4 GHz. Voltage forced by the auto boost is just way too much and unnecessary since I pass all demanding tests like cinebench (30 minutes test), aida64 (10 hours test), and so on. I would understand such voltage being needed if CPU is consistent at 4.9Ghz but its seems like impossible. The cinebench will utilize max 4.3 ghz of speed and the score will be 5000 points lower than what I got once with 4.3 (check screenshots)
Regarding cinebench r23 results I somehow scored a record high record with for whatever reason the core clock was flagged as 4.3 (score 30000+) (Check attached photos). Now after some time I even tried manually setting clock to 43 and I cant score near that under any circumstances. Its always around 25000 and cpu is set to Auto withh PBO off as I experience no benefit from it just higher temps and crazy high voltages.
