High Processor Frequency

Solved

Hello,

I've looked at almost all the discussions on the topic and the solution that keeps coming up is related to power management, however this tip doesn't work for me. For a while now, when I turn on my PC, it reaches 4GHz right after startup even though its base speed is 3.6GHz. Can anyone tell me how I can lower my frequency, please?

Configuration: Android / Chrome 100.0.4896.58

    Hi,

    There is base frequency and Turbo frequency.

    As long as it doesn't overheat, it works fine.

    Leave it alone.

      Turbo frequency or not, when a task is not running on my PC, my processor runs at 4GHz and 85/90°C, which is not normal. That's why I'm asking how to lower my processor's frequency.

    Hello,

    What’s your processor?

      It's an AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

      Then you need to disable the option "Core boost performance" in the BIOS, mine reached 4.0-4.2GHz at 95°C with the same issue.

      I can't find this setting in my BIOS, I have an MSI motherboard, could it be called something else?

      Already said by others.
      This operation is normal; it's part of the characteristics of processors. It's not overclocking but optimization.
      Your problem is due to poor cooling; you need to address the root cause, and that is it.

      Yes, depending on the motherboard, it can be different, the name can be abbreviated, which is my case.

      I believe we need to go there with the MSI BIOS:

    Hi, it's a normal operation, lowering its frequency would only lower its performance

      No, it's an automatic overclocking function implemented by AMD. By default, the CPU runs at 3.6GHz, but it can boost up to 4.2GHz until it reaches the overheating limit, then it drops to 4GHz with the fan going crazy and the temperature becoming extreme. However, this is not a laptop; the CPU is supposed to reach a maximum of 75°C under intensive use on a desktop.

      And so, can I disable this automatic function?

      Yes, but that's the normal operation of the processor; the boost frequency is completely normal.

      Except that this is not a frequency boost like it used to be for Intel or AMD CPUs that increases only under certain favorable conditions; this is a bad overclocking, the fan goes wild because the CPU reaches maximum temperature. It is even possible to manually overclock the CPU and lower the Vcore for a more acceptable temperature; I have never done it, but I know it is possible.

    You need to buy a real heat sink (CPU Cooler).

      What do you mean by a real heat sink?

        I was talking about a good heat sink for the CPU.

        The CPU doesn't do everything; it doesn't dissipate the heat it generates on its own.

        And decreasing a function created by the manufacturer is not a winning option.

        It is just as important to optimize it by having (at the very least) a heat sink that helps the processor cool down.

    Hello

    barely launched, it's already at 4GHz
    This processor has some sort of automatic overclocking and many motherboards can overclock with one click, a setting that doesn't really explain what it does, and it's overclocked.

    Maybe you don’t see any particularly resource-hungry processes?

    Beware of hidden processes from programs that run in the background from startup.
    Especially updates, file indexing to find them faster later, anti-whatever scans, prefetching that preloads software you typically use at a certain time on a certain day, Windows alone has plenty of these, no need for infection.
    The processor and its 12 cores joyfully start working at full speed to do everything quickly.

    In customer reviews, 2/3 complain about the same thing, 1/3 are die-hard supporters, 2 to 3% are dissatisfied.

    _It wasn't necessary, but I replaced the stock cooler with a "be quiet! Dark Rock" for more silence and I'm not disappointed.
    _The only downside is that the cooler needs to be changed
    _However, if you can, get a separate heatsink.
    _The included fan is too weak, get a more powerful one and it will thank you
    _mounted with a Fractal Design S24 water block, we gain in temperature and performance.
    _the hotter it gets, the less it overclocks, I opted for a simple 120mm AIO, I don't exceed 60° max during burn.
    _delivered with a probably effective cooler. The solution is to use a Noctua, that's sufficient
    _Perfect CPU. Mixed cooling. The cooling is really weak.
    _Nothing to say, great processor. The stock cooler is not great
    _I take off one point out of 10 because the cooling provided (Wraith Stealth) is not sufficient for heavy loads (100% constant usage). The price, even with the addition of a third-party cooling system, is still competitive.
    _the included fan runs a bit hot, otherwise nothing to complain about.
    _the cooler doesn't cool extremely well but does the job for gaming without OC
    _max 69° after several benchmarks with a Cooler Master
    _don't use the included fan
    _need to adjust the fans accordingly. However, in OCCT test, 69% max over an hour
    _However, with the stock cooler it goes up to 90°C full load, so think about buying a replacement for the original one
    _Cooled with WaterCooling, I get 45° for normal use and around 60° max
    _surprised by the temperature spikes. More reasonable after limiting the V-core voltage, it seems that this CPU can run at very high temperatures of 90°C or more without major issues. Ventilation parameters re-optimized for higher tolerance thresholds
    _When you want performance at low temp, a DarkRock cooler minimum, or AIO
    _that has good cooling without making it heat up.
    _the cooler provided does the job...as long as you have some earplugs
    _the included cooler is quite noisy, so I bought a Noctua cooler
    _A good solid ten die-hard fans plus one who specifies he has a watercooling.
    _1 dissatisfied prefers Intel i7

      Hello, thank you for your response. I have a 240mm water cooler from Enermax, the Aquafusion.
      Do you know if it's useful to enable SVM virtualization?

        Hello
        Curious, this CPU should be able to work a bit higher than the 3.6 base with a 240 mm water cooling. (This is what is called a 'real' cooler in this discussion.) In any case, when the boost is useful, it raises the frequency automatically just for the necessary time.
        But I know less than passionnedinformatique01 when he says that this is a bad overclocking

        Normally, the radiator fans should exhaust the hot air out of the case if you have enough case fans to bring in enough fresh air into the case. It's a bit worse for the temperature read on the CPU but better for all the other temperatures.
        But it's not a requirement, and some set it up as an intake for hot air to read a few degrees lower on the CPU, but then you need very good case ventilation to expel all the heat.

        As for SVM, I don't know: it depends if you want to install a "virtual machine," I believe. If you're not, you don't need to activate it for now.

    Your water cooling isn't working...

      It's worth less than a good air cooler at the same price.

      It's a trend that causes a lot of problems and I hope it will pass.

        I share your opinion, it's a trend. Useless in 90% of cases.
