You can't adjust the PPT limit to change PRD, if that's what you meant. About running static Vcore/clocks... I agree but I wouldn't generalize. There is a way to run a static voltage at least in a way that AMD has intended and that is through Ryzen Master. Some boards will also let you use...

Ah yes perfect, let me know if it's ok

Hi Martin, If BCLK is set lower than the default 100.00MHz, measured BCLK will be really high. As you would expect, that only happens if the readout is bus-clock based. Unchecking HPET does not have an effect. Enabling spread spectrum does not have an effect besides reading the expected -0.2...

Compared to how your Gigabyte board was -incorrectly- set out of the box, yes :) Compared to how it *SHOULD* have been set, no it shouldn't. But you should check for BIOS updates before, perhaps the setting has been changed.

@hortiSquash you can limit your PPT to something like 68-70W and that should give you about the same limit as if it were stock

If ASRock is doing this intentionally, it's not super smart. While with MSI (and now ASUS apparently), you can impress all your friends with your highly efficient CPU! Look at how my 65W TDP R5 3600 is converting 700W of raw power into computing mightiness while barely getting warm

Based on that and the Gamers Nexus video on Power Reporting Deviation, we can know better understand what the doodleedoo is going on, so thanks! I never understood what the "Full Scale Current" parameter was in my BIOS because of the very convenient 8-bit range (0-255) while being described as a...

Oh natürlich! Thanks for the thorough explanation. That's why I'm saying, either way DMM or software don't show the reality. But the point is, if the software superIO Vcore reading fluctuates low, it's safe to say that the idle power state is working, even if the SVI2 TFN sensor's voltage...

@19arek93 Some BIOS auto settings will set the correct power saving options for low current idle (namely C-States, AMD cool'n'quiet and Power Supply Idle Current) but it depends on the board, how you set the manual Vcore, and which Windows power plan you use. I wanted to open a new thread...
