Ryzens use thermal headroom to boost higher, nothing to worry about. Your temps are fine, that specific CPU is rated to run up to 95C and be safe. On average, at stock settings and stock cooler. Ryzen is closer to 20-25☌ above ambient normally, with 20-25☌ spikes. Intel 10-15☌ above ambient is normal, with 10-15☌ spikes. The resultant spike is considerably higher than the 3 or so services starting on Intel, only the highest of which is generally reported. The spikes will be from one or several services starting simultaneously, on that single core. This being a considerable amount of load higher than any single Intel core, so consequently will run at higher baseline temps. So the entire 5-6% load will be on a single preferred core. With Ryzen at idle, all cores except 1 are disabled, inactive. Any peaks will be due to the starting of services on any given core, which still isn't much of anything but a small, momentary load. Meaning any individual core sees extremely little load, and has little consequential temps. So the entire 5-6% load gets split over 6 cores or so. Ryzens don't work the same way or respond the same way.Īt idle, an Intel will chop voltages and speeds to all cores, but all cores remain active. You came from Intel- throw all assumptions out the window. First off I'll explain the behavior of Ryzens.
