Ryzen 9 3900x Core Voltage too high?

[Zach_01]

I had disabled PBO because I was scared to harm the cpu.
Also, I haven't set the DOCP profile, even my motherboard supports up to 5100 MHZ and my Rams are up to 3600 MHZ. I just did not touch ram configuration. Just left it as it was (JEDEC), to protect the fsb or cpu etc.

Now that you know there's no issue with your system, you can enable both!

I've enabled but I feel like I'm on the edge of the mountain. Scary!

Why? Its normal and we all use XMP/DOCP and most PBO enabled.

Use ZenTimings to see your current memory settings and if you want also ThaiphoonBurner to see the specs of memory.

Dear friend thanks so much for your interest and help. Below you can see my Ram details:
Please inform me if anything is abnormal.

 

[Zach_01]

Everything is as it should be, on default settings. Nothing abnormal.

Well I've finally found the solution! You will not find these information anywhere on the internet..
First go to bios and disable Precision Boost Overdrive.
Second, never put any fans at PWM mode! It should be on auto mode.
Third and most importantly, disable "core performance boost".
And here how it looks like "without" sacrificing performance.
Please note that the clock is being adjusted beautifully when executing demanding applications.

It feels like as if I just saved hundreds of thousands of Ryzen chip's life in advance ahaha

The solution to what? This whole thread consisted of TPU users (and even AMD) telling you that the voltages and boost behavior you were afraid of is perfectly normal. Disabling all that stuff and running RAM at 2666 is only hindering your performance. Running fans in auto mode just automatically detects whether DC or PWM mode should be used - why would PWM mode be dangerous?

I would really question where you're getting your information from that's forming the basis of these conclusions...

Are you for real? You up and ignored everything we said about it being completely safe to run at stock?

Disabling Core Performance Boost is the same as disabling Turbo Boost on an Intel CPU. Look at your scores, lmao. You are forcing your chip to run at its base clock, 3.8GHz. Why not just buy a 12-core Xeon E5 from 2015 while you're at it, since you clearly don't care for the 3900X's performance?

No, you're not Einstein for discovering CPB.

Leave the CPU as it is. Please. My 3900X is crying watching this.

"saved hundreds of thousands of Ryzen chip's life"... these things can last 20 years. The CPU will boost according to the amount of voltage it requests that it deems S A F E. Mine can boost to 4.8 if it wants.

Why are you crippling yours to 3.8? Leave the CPU on stock and enjoy the thing before it becomes obsolete, even though that will take years. Still, you don't wanna spend years researching something that needs no researching in the first place.

As it was said time and time again in this thread -- CPU knows what its doing, you don't need to babysit it.

If your HWiNFO is akin to mine -- then congrats, there are no problems.

You are sacrificing multicore, and more significantly single core performance for no reason by doing that.

lol, fixing a non problem with a problem , i think ive slipped into another reality .

That's what I call doing it wrong and completely misunderstanding how the cpu works.

I was in the same spot as him when I was new to Ryzen (3900X as first chip) but then I stopped and thought "maybe just maybe the engineers who designed this thing know more than me, so I'm not gonna mess with it".

Seems like he just did a complete U-Turn though, back to fixing what's not broken.

Man, your voltages are insane! And I chose to believe physics law rather than AMD's statements. 7nm is really appropriate dimension for electromigrating. Maybe AMD wants to ryzens broke out after 3 years to sell more?? Maybe this is AMD's way to perform "planned obsolescence"?

Companies are based on profitable trading. Science based on facts. I'm going to chose science.

Lol. What do I even say to this?

You do understand 1.5v at low loads is nothing correct? Electromigration is a problem when there IS load.

Coming from Intel, I understand 1.5v is spooky scary... But you have to understand that Ryzens aren't Intels. Shocking, I know.

No, champ. This isn't how electromigration works (lol, try again). This isn't how any of this works.

You have no clue what you are suggesting. I'd also add the level oh hubris is up there too.

Dude. This isn't physics. You're trying to fight the engineering that made this chip (we can tell who has the degree and who doesn't from this thread) and tell everyone to hinder performance.

I'm going to just say you're backwards.

You are not smarter than the team who made it. You're not fixing anything. You're not correcting anything. You're taking a perfectly normal, stock running chip and bringing it down. Run it at stock and get off your nonexistent high horse.

@Alexa 's voltages are fine and normal. EMI happens under high load (current=Amperes) in conjunction with high temp, and the CPU is knowing whats what. Besides the whatever performance, the ZEN line is the most advanced CPU ever existed. Power management wise at least. It can monitor itself and alter its operating properties (speed, voltage) literally 1000 times per second under auto settings and on the right power plan. No software can project properly its operating conditions on the fly. Only under long time monitoring one can come close to its true values and still only by average.

There is nothing that needs saving here...
