AMD Ryzen 7000 Undervolting Yields Great Results with Temperatures
AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors can hit up to 95 °C at stock settings, with cooling most appropriate to the TDP level. This is because the PPT (package power tracking) limits for the 170 W TDP processors is as high as 230 W, and for the 105 W TDP models, it's 130 W. After reaching this temperature threshold, the processor begins to downclock itself to lower temperatures. Harukaze5719 discovered that higher than needed core voltages could be at play, and manually undervolting the processors could free up significant thermal headroom, letting the processors hold on to higher boost multipliers better.
