Dear, my 2700X processor is always run at 100% EDC, I do not overclocking or other setting, it just get full CPU usage. I own B450 Steel Legend just two day.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Titigresse,

Greetings, this is ASRock TSD.

In general, the CPU EDC will fluctuate depending on the system load.

For your question, we have some suggestions to verify:

1. Please enter BIOS setup and load BIOS default setting.

2. Under OS environment, please open Control Panel > Power Option and adjust the power plan to AMD Ryzen Balanced or Balanced.

3. Install the latest AMD ALLin1 driver ver:19.10.16_19H1_WHQL.

4. Please make sure there's no process operating in OS background to occupy the CPU resource.

5. If possible, please reinstall a clean Windows OS to verify OS environment.

6. If possible, please install another CPU.

Thanks!

All the best,
ASRock TSD
