Processors

Hi There,

My Ryzen 7 3700 seems to get very hot very quick. Just to test it, i startet Ryzen Master right after i just booted the pc, and it is already at 45 Celcius. I Played "The Witcher 3" jesterday and hat constant temperaturs above 80, in the yellows.

Now i tried limiting the CPU to 3.600 Ghz, but had to to a cmos reset today, because it would not boot again. I however feel that it is a bit weird that the CPU seems overclocked to 4,4.400 by default.

I also have the feeling that the fan control might be a bit off. It starts to become loud once at starting, but after that, it is practically unhearable, even when the CPU has 85 Celcius. Shouldn't it kick in than to cool it down? I am using the boxed cooler from AMD.

I am a bit concerned, what can i do?

Best Regards and thanks for the answers.

hello,

what is your config ? Motherboard, PSU, DRAM, CPU cooler ....

Motherboard bios version ?

AMD chipset drivers 2.04 or above ?

Power Plan is on AMD Balanced or Performance ?

CPU cooler profile set to silent or changed curves on bios ?

With stock cooler your temperatures seems a bit high but not so far than expected with this cooler.

How do you download AMD Balanced Power Plan? 

Can't find it anywhere...

When you install Ryzen Master they should install. If you are using Windows 1909 or later though everything needed to be Zen 2 and earlier compatible is already in the Windows power plans.

Hi, Thank you for the answer.

My config is this:

MB: Asrock b450 pro

GPU: Gefoce GTX 1070

2x 16GB Ram from Corsair

The Boxed Cooler from AMD

Just installed the AMD Chipsetdrivers, had the ones from the CD before.

Had not dabbled with the power plan until now.

As i reset the Bios, i think now everything is on default. Since tinkering with it send the pc into a bootloop, i didnt dare to touch it again.

Currently the CPU is idling at about 65-70. That can not be normal.

Don't use chipset drivers from the CD, there are outdated.

Last drivers have significant improvement, specially on power management.

Also check for the latest bios.

If you can take a shot of Ryzen Master when pc is idle ?

If the CPU fan is running at all and you have 65-70C temps at idle then you probably need to remount your cooler with some new thermal paste

Also find out what background processes are running...   Seems like something is hitting your CPU hard with some sort of task...  Remove the cooler, clean both surfaces with alcohol and re-apply TIM, could be a bad mount or maybe too much TIM...  Possibilities are endless now-a-days

I had issue with the original 3700 cooler too. Although not quite as hot as yours. I went to a cheap Cooler Master 212 EVO  and it is much better. Had already been using that successfully on my 3600 setup too.

Hi,

There seem to be no background processes running. Also, like i said, i think my fans COULD go faster, since they are really quit, they just dont do it.

Here is a screenshot of Ryzen Master while The Witcher 3 runs.

I have now ordered new TIM, will reapply it and see how that goes.

best Regards

Fan curve on bios, you can adjust speed vs temperature.

Below 50°C standard curve let the fan quiet or very low speed,

- 50°C -> 30% speed,

50-65°C -> 50% speed,

65-75°C -> 75% speed,

75°C + -> 100% speed

Also the same screenshot on idle if you can.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I have managed to curtail the temperature peaks somewhat by limiting the cores to 3600mhz during gameplay. But it does not seem to save those changes.

On Bios, i was not able to adjust fans, there were just general setting like "performance" etc. I dabbled with them, but did not notice a difference.

Here is a screenshot of the cores while pretty much idle.

Best regards!

ok, temperatures seems in the range expected with stock cooler.

if not already set, try with AMD Power Plan balanced:

and System cooling policy to active:
