Ryzen 7600X Voltage & ECO Mode

[GO DAWGS!]

Are these voltages normal looking to y'all? I see the CPU Core Voltage jump to 1.352V at one point. I know it will occasionally rise during demanding applications, just seems concerning.

Also, I am running system in ECO mode (65W), but constantly seeing power go way above this. Is this normal? Some additional settings in the BIOS screenshots below. Pretty much all I've set is the RAM in EXPO mode and the CPU in ECO mode (65W) and that's about it. Fan settings to silent as well.

I can build a computer and do basic tweaks within the BIOS, but when it comes to voltages and indepth stuff like this, I am clueless.

Thanks in advance. I'll be getting busy soon, so I'll respond back when I can.

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
COOLER Noctua NH-U12A Chromax.Black
MOTHERBOARD ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F (BIOS version 2412)
RAM G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series (AMD Expo) 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30-38-38-96
GPU ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

How high is "way above this"?

TDP means very little to Ryzen. Eco mode is 65W TDP but 88W PPT (actual power limit). If you see above 90W or so then your BIOS/board is bugged and Eco mode isn't working.

Check Ryzen Master if you want to see what Vcore is actually doing at idle.

Thanks for responding. Yes, it's just a an occasional power spike and then it will drop back down during less demanding tasks. I've recently seen it spike to about 94 watts according to Armoury Crate. May go even higher if I watched it longer, but that's what I saw recently. I mean, everything seems to be running great. Just thought the voltages were a little high.

Again, I appreciate the info.

I wouldn't trust Armoury Crate with just about anything - not even on my Zephyrus. There's always better places to get info. If Package Power always respects 88-90W according to max column in HWInfo after a whole day of use, then you're golden.

You're a brave one for even using Armoury Crate

As to Eco mode, all it does is set the power limits of a lower TDP part. If it's not working, you can always open PBO up to Advanced and input the numbers manually.

I've read a lot of dislike for Armoury Crate, and maybe justifiably so, but it seems to be functioning well. Now, how accurate those readings are I certainly can't say. It could be way off for all I know. I installed it just to give it a try as I plan to do a full reinstall soon anyway. One thing I have noticed about this software is it does get a lot of various updates for components. Some I have no clue what they are. For all I know, it could be filled with malware / spyware. I sure hope not!

The VDDIO is high, typically 1.25 is recommended if you are OCing. SOC is a tad high although not crazy. Voltages seem to be geared toward overclocking, which is typical of an ASUS.

Also as tabascosauz pointed out, don't use Armory Crate. Either check the values in BIOS or use HWInfo.

SoC is definately on the high side and nearing what i would deem comfortable (1.3) especailly if you are only using 2 sticks of RAM

I have 4x16 and only need 1.25 to be stable.

If you have something light in the background running these Ryzen 7000s tend to volt fairly high even with a light load. But if you had HWinfo or Ryzen master even with the relatively high voltage you would only be seeing 5-10A being drawn at that voltage.
