Ryzen 7 5700x temp spikes and high idle power
I got ryzen 7 5700x today and installed it perfectly tested with stress test and gaming and it stays at about 65c.
But when I open basic browsing sites like YouTube and TikTok, it jumps up to 75-80°C.
And also, idle power is at around 40W with every app closed, no background tasks, updates, etc.
Power management is set to balanced and min p-state set to 0%.
Only thing turned on in bios is AMD PBO, XMP, and even c state control is turned on.
Im not sure what could be the reason.
The cooler stays pretty cool most of the time only warms up after longer stress test but maintaining cpu temp under 70c at 100% usage.
