How to reduce AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs temperatures

AMD, CPUs, reduce, Ryzen, temperatures


There is no secret here: if we reduce consumption and with it temperatures will lose performance. The benefit that AMD has is that these losses will be relatively low, and the benefits are quite apparent.

So, how can we reduce the temperatures and usage of the Ryzen 3000?

Two simple ways as compatible: Windows and Ryzen Master.

AMD has gone through several phases since the launch of its Ryzen 3000. By 2020 everything is settled after the launch of the new UEFI with AGESA 1.0.0.4 AB and new drivers for their chipsets, so it's a good time to do this tutorial.

We fully know that the thermal performance of these CPUs is not compatible with AMD-certified TDP, because in most cases 65 watts higher than expected are available, and 125 watts than the opposite.

There are many similarities to this, so let's look at how we can reduce the temperatures / usage of each Ryzen 3000.

Low AMD temperatures

The first step is simple, go to the Windows Control Panel and select Power Options. In this case we will have to choose a mode An economizer.

Use ECO-Mode on Ryzen Master

One of the problems that AMD had with its software was the power and performance of ECO-Mode on its Ryzen Master system. Months ago we saw how to use it to cheat the system, but now AMD has fixed it in a non-Orthodox way: forcing the PBO operation.

Although it may sound counter-intuitive, those of Lisa Su have chosen the fastest way for their software to be the one that controls the waves and uses them using the PBO algorithm.

To make this work, we will have to go to our UEFI and look for some configuration that allows the PBO to work.

Disable-PBO-UEFI-ASUS

Here we can see on ASUS motherboards where they are available, where we would have to logically follow the procedure.

Once the PBO is activated, we will log into the Ryzen Master and navigate to the desired profile (usually profile 1) where within it is shown the Eco-Mode option, which we will activate.

In addition, in the Cores section the Section will press the OC setting button and appear green, which when pressed will lose that color and switch to OS lists. This means that it now shows the optional cables as shown by Windows, so we can have better control over the more frequently accessed cables.

This is important because we have previously selected Economizer mode, so it makes sense to see Windows pre-AMD distribution.

In the same message, the data concludes:

AMD-low-moche-and-use-2

With the same load for idle and activated Eco mode, it is possible to reduce consumption between 1 and 2% respectively.

AMD-low-temperature-and-use

In addition, the temperature drops about 2 degrees on average, which is not bad at all.

As for the performance itself, its downfall does not really matter from day to day, but it can be a stumbling block to game planning and video editing.

The balance

As we can see, with Balanced and the 6 cores we averaged 3541 points, while with Economizer the score was 3354 points.

ECO-wide mode =

We have lost 5.28% yield, but the insignificant temperatures are low. Overall we will not notice many origins, not to mention the possibility that there is no difference, constantly talking from the perspective of a high CPU population.

The difference is from ECO mode that is active or disabled, where in conjunction with power modes, it is true that it achieves a small improvement, but at the same time we will see the performance drop another one more.
