I have an TR Ultima 90 as well, it was a beast of a cooler for the price! What temps are you getting under full load? It is currently keeping an ancient and over locked Athlon64 x3 435 Raina core CPU from burning up! I wanted to use it on new 2600X but I couldn’t get mounting hardware to do it.

Per Tomshardware update to original article about this: "AMD issued a statement today to Tom's Hardware regarding a feature from software vendor HWinfo that exposes that motherboard vendors have developed firmwares that misreport key power telemetry data to Ryzen processors. As covered in the...

Sorry, I was wrong. Vacuum tubes have insulation effect so heating overcomes that insulation effect allowing electrons to flow. Per Anandtech article about this subject the electrical leakage has been mitigated quite a bit so it isn’t as bad as it was years ago. Nope, for Zen 2 it is the same...

It is for Ryzen 2 as well, see screenshot. No, the colder a conductor is, the greater its resistance to current flow. Like I said, heat lowers resistance up to a point. Vacuum tubes in tube amps have to be heated to a certain temp before the resistance drops enough for electrons flow. CPUs are...

I’m still looking for AMD states max but this is what I found so far. Temperature effects when acPu throttles, it has likely been throttling before 95C, but you should see shutdown and significant throttling at 95C. Chip is attempting to safe itself and it does have a thermal margin above 95C in...

Running hotter won’t necessarily use more power, electrons flow more freely, to a point, when conductor is heated. Vacuum tubes operate because of heating causing electrons to flow. I agree that 95C is hot, but not redline, maybe a few hundred revs below redline, chip manufacturers build in...

Ryzen chips are able to go up to 95C before throttling significantly. Same as Intel chips. Are you going to own that CPU for 10 or more years? Probably not, so you don’t need to worry about it as the auto boosting and Ryzen FIT chip health monitoring will prevent it from burning out...

Tom’s Hardware made it sound like chipocalypse and it isn’t. Inte mobo manufacturers have been doing this sort of thing for years.Ryzen CPUs have a built in monitoring system that prevents it from damaging itself or being damaged while using auto boasting algorithms. It may not prevent damage if...

No, look at screenshots in OP. The issue is a mobo manufacturer will use VRM values the make the CPU think that their is less amps being used so CPU thinks it has more headroom than it actually has. The effect is higher temperatures due to increased voltage for a cpu being tricked into thinking...

Per the OP, only a full Cinebench R20 load will give you the “correct“ power deviation numbers, idle and over locked will yield skewed results. Don’t worry about this issue, it has been blown out of proportion, this sort of thing has been going on with Intel boards for years now so nothing new...

Don’t worry about this issue, it has been blown out of proportion, this sort of thing has been going on with Intel boards for years now so nothing new and nothing to worry about. Your CPUis fine and will be fine.

First of all, this issue has been blown way out of proportion, your CPU is fine. You don’t have anything to worry about. Mobo manufacturers are highlyunlikely to artificially boost yourCPU so much that it burns up early, not good for them when upset customers start calling or they get high RMA...

check to see if your cooler is mounted correctly, tightened down correctly, and has thermal interface material covering entire CPU heatspreader. Don’t take heatsink off unless you have more TIM on hand to re install it. Or buy an Artic cooling Liquid Freezer II 120 AIO and your temps should go...

You’re fine, nothing to be concerned about if you are in the 90+% range.

First, you need to set your CPU to stock settings, you can leave XMP for memory. Then you need to put CPU under load using Cinebench R20 and check the deviation values. Anything within 90-110% is fine. After looking into this issue it seems to have been blown way out of proportion. Some extra...

I think you have a cooling issue there. I'm using an Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer 120 and my 2600X doesn't even get up to 70C under sustained load! I'd check to see if you have your thermal paste applied correctly, block mounted and tightened down properly. Is your pump running? Those are...

@The Stilt - Looking at the numbers, I see that when the amps are reduced, the voltage is increased, probably to compensate for lower amps to still hit its frequency numbers. Increased voltage equals increase in heat output for CPUs at least. The volts go slightly higher with 150 amp (1.388v)...
