hey all, maybe it's already answered 10 times here already but is 3900x idling at 45-50 celsius normal? running cinebench R20 will heat it up to 75-80 celsius.

i can do 4.4GHz 1.325v vcore voltage too. however I notice the VID will be around 1.1v.
also, with this overclock above it'll run cinebench at 85c on my end.

did you disable PBO when you overclock your chip?

my result when OCed to 4.4GHz @1.325v vcore, XFR and PBO disabled.
idles at 46-55c, bit hotter than my usual stock multiplier with -0.1v offset vcore.
runs up to 80c+ when loaded with cinebench r20.

my god, after 2 weeks of fiddling i finally found out the major reason my cpu always run hot and high VID voltages across cores during idle.

it's the iCUE software.

oof, closing both icue and synapse immediately drops my voltage to 0.85v.

these apps dont allow the inactive cores to sleep.

It is perfectly okay if your CPU is periodically using 1.4-1.5V to achieve boost frequencies, and you should see dips into sub-1.0V as the CPU goes into idle. These dips may be brief, and that's okay. Load voltages of around 1.2-1.3V are perfectly okay also. This is the processor working as expected. Ryzen is a highly dynamic system, with up to 1000 voltage and clockspeed changes every second. You will see a lot of bouncing around as you work with your system.

Please note that it is totally normal for your Ryzen to use voltages in a range of 0.200V - 1.500V -- this is the factory operating range of the CPU. It is also totally normal for the temperature to cycle through 10°C swings as boost comes on and off. You will always see these characteristics, as they're intended, so do not be surprised to see such values.

About what the RTX 3000 series is doing with SSD, does the X570 PCIE 4.0 will have an edge over B550's implementation? I know it is WAY too early to ask, but maybe some of you got any idea.

My Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master is rock stable with latest BIOS. UI is still very slow when you turn CSM off.

I had Ryzen 3 1200 on a lowest end cheap Gigabyte B350M DS2 (the thing doesn't even have M.2 slots) , later upgraded that to R7 3700x on the same board, paired with 1070 Ti and had heavy VR usage everyday without issues

Switched to Asrock B550M and everything still works like it did day 1

Been using CH8 since last year Sept 23. From R5 3600 till last month upgrade R7 3700x. The only bios 2010 is the most unstable 1. Upgrade to 2206 since last month.
I only use the PBO enable. So far didn't see any instability issue.

I'm using Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero with 3950x for half year edi

also experienced 2 times randomly forced restart and screen stay black

changed new psu, bios reset, bios update, no overclock only ram XMP profile enabled

i think this might be the instability of amd driver instead? no idea

will continue use another half year and see how, worst case will try claim warranty for the motherboard

Yeah maybe i run most every setting on auto for PBO. Very rare to have any BSOD. For daily usage i mostly start my computer with PBO off. When i need more power for some task i than enable the PBO. Back in old day overclocking both 955BE and Fx8350 to get max performance. Then jump to 2600 then 3600 finally now 3700X for me it enough to get job done in time. Using Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z then Asus CH8 Hero. The only thing i hate is the temp when PBO is on. Sometimes 80celcius. Might go for der8auer  ryzen oc bracket.

Does anyone have any idea as to what the prices are looking like for the new Zen 3 processors?

I was hoping to complete my new rig with a Ryzen 7 3700x but I'll wait for the new processors to come out before making a decision
