Well, under the same conditions as the stock cooler it dropped temps by about 15C, if you click on the AnandTech thread of mine I linked above you can see the temp's for various settings. But at the same 65w PPT with 22C ambient temps, it was going from 59-63C with all cores fully loaded running...

Thanks for the update The Stilt :). I (and I'm sure most others) never thought that your original post meant imminent CPU burn out, I don't know what THG were thinking! I didn't think they were like that!? I wonder how far under reporting it would have to be to do that though? 50%? Lower?? Btw...

Too much paste can act like an insulator, which would push temperatures up of course. Although normally with screw down coolers it would eventually squeeze out the excess, unless it is really thick paste. If you're sure now you've put the right amount on, then follow what Infernoken said...

Your vcore isn't the problem, their at normal levels. Are you sure the cooler is mounted properly? Not butting up against the RAM is it? Not too much thermal paste? It's also odd that from your screen shot the 3 current CPU temps are very different, under load mine are virtually the same, and...

I Use Thermally Grizzly too, does seem good :). When I looked earlier this year, I couldn't find any Wraith's going for a sensible price! Could be better now of course.

I've got a 3600 and I started with the stock Stealth cooler, I found out within minutes of installation that cooler is a worthless pile of junk! Running Folding@home (full load to all cores) it went into the high 80s & was thermal throttling! I knew looking at the cooler it wouldn't be much cop...

Err, it would have an effect, and yea that might be why you only have 75%, I'm no expect on this though ;). Anyway, the intention is for it to be tested at default settings. One way or the other, over/underclocking or over/undervolting will override the default power usage.

You follow now power deviator? :) Good to know, where did you find that AMD info? [edit] Nm, saw that it is on the page I linked after all! lol Re leakage, ah ok, interesting, I wonder how much of an effect it has now then? ********************************************** Finally tested my...

You're misunderstanding what PRD is, it's what the CPU is being told the power usage is, not what the actual power is. If you restricted the power to a CPU to 50% of it's max, then you'd get great temps & low power consumption but you would not get the 'best frequency' ;) If you are saying the...

Agentnathan Sorry but that's wrong, resistance drops with temperature in most materials (their are a few exceptions), hence superconductors have to be super cold. I don't know what's going on vac tubes, I suspect that's down to something else. CPUs are not similar. Your screen shot is of a Zen...

I'm glad I'm not the op! ;) I'd be tearing my hair out with the number of people here who've posted & not bothered to read the op, or read it properly! About 1/2 I reckon :p Re your 1st point, yes it does, as I recall it, high temp's means higher resistance, which means slightly more power...

Good figure :) Agentnathan Oh & btw, with the stock cooler & settings, my 3600 was throttling at ~90C, are you sure about that 95C figure?

95C is the absolute redline and I wouldn't be running the CPU that hot! At those temps life could be an issue if keeping it for even 5 yrs (which many people do). Also, when you're running a CPU hotter, that will in itself cause it to use more power.

40 GHz? lol, that's some overclock you've got! ;), anyway, seeing as you've underclocked it to 4.0 GHz that explains it :). I don't know why you're quoting me when I understand what the PRD is about ;), did you mean to reply to Torse? He was getting 117% because he is underclocking his CPU, so...

You're being way too vague about this and you haven't said whether you're referring to THGs article or the op's post. Whilst I agree that very quick CPU burn out (as per THGs headline) is very unlikely (unless the PRD is seriously under), a more modest but still under reporting figure will run...

No, below 95% is, read the op it will tell you this. At 117% it appears your CPU is being slightly throttled (underclocked), is your CPU running hot?

Tobiman5 Until/if theirs a bios fix, lower the CPU PPT in the bios as a work around.

Yea fair enough, but they should've provided a better cooler then ;), unless of course the mbrd is under reporting CPU power consumption. What about my PPT question? ;)

Thanks for the article The Stilt (found from THGs btw), very useful & a bit of an eye opener! I wonder if this is the reason behind why my stock cooler isn't upto the job of cooling my Ryzen 5 3600 (@ stock) when running distributed computing? With the stock settings running DC on all 12...

Well, what absolute junk Dragon ctr is! Apart from the initial dragon ctr d/l not being enough to get it working (need an SDK too), it then hides where it installs itself (you can't open file location from the shortcut), so I've no idea how much space it takes until I uninstall it! Anyway...
