No if you OC through Ryzen Master like I do. By doing so, when you use either AMD or Windows power plan, it would either downclock/reduce voltages and put some cores to sleep so you are not at Full speed 100% of the time]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2020 14:14:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15958&PID=79153&title=ryzen-3600-steel-legends-heat-issues#79153 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15958&PID=79147&title=ryzen-3600-steel-legends-heat-issues#79147 Author: ThreeDee

You can also update your BIOS to 3.30

If I can advise, you should check your voltages when running at idle/Cinebench and the way you set them either in the BIOS or in Ryzen Master.I have played with a 3600X CPU recently and temps were high out of the box because of the stock (high) voltage the board was applying to the CPU.

I had it idling at around 42-43degC and Cinebech R15 running at peak 77-78degC but after manually setting voltage I had reduced these temps by a good 5 to 6degC]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 17:40:50 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15958&PID=79127&title=ryzen-3600-steel-legends-heat-issues#79127 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15958&PID=79125&title=ryzen-3600-steel-legends-heat-issues#79125 Author: lightman

Hi there,

I have a B450M Steel Legends with the 2.90 BIOS.

When using my 2600, my temps are good and everything works.

However, when I install my new 3600, my temps are very high 45 - 50 at idle, and around 82C in Cinebench. I have tried two different 3600 CPUs, applied the required thermal paste (Noctua and MX)...even updated temporarily to the very latest BIOS, but still I have the same issues.

For reference, I am using a Noctua 12S cooler, with everything placed in a Be Quiet 600 Base case with two fans.

For monitoring, I have used Ryzen Master and HWINFO64.

Could you please help? I really don't want to go back to intel, but the heat issues on the 3600 are tempting me.

Thanks]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 16:08:53 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15958&PID=79125&title=ryzen-3600-steel-legends-heat-issues#79125
