AMD’s new generation Ryzen 7000 processors were met with interest after their introduction. Although the unofficial test results appeared to be strong, he pointed out that in some respects, stock settings may be insufficient for processors and performance drops may occur due to results such as overheating. New information shows that high temperatures with stock settings can give the Ryzen 7000 family a headache.
Stock settings may have overheating issues.
AMD has shared the TDP values of the Ryzen 7000 series processors that it has already announced. According to these, the top model of the family has a TDP of 170W, while the weakest model of the four processors introduced has a TDP of 105W. However, the maximum amount of power that these processors can draw from the socket is different. Because the 230W PPT (package power tracking) specified for the Ryzen 9 7950X is higher than the current TDP. Likewise, there is a 130W PPT value for the Ryzen 5 7600X. It is stated that the processors have reached this thermal power threshold, ie 90-95 degrees, with the stock settings. When this threshold is reached, the CPU slows itself down and starts operating at lower frequency speeds.
Ryzen 5 7600X slows itself down at high temperature
The AIDA64 results shared by a user claiming to have a Ryzen 5 7600X also confirm this information. In the AIDA 64 stress test, the engineering example Ryzen 5 7600X appears to run at 5.05 GHz (5.3 GHz announced by AMD). This value is valid in temperature conditions that reach 93.1 degrees at 122W at stock settings. It is an extremely high temperature, but with manual adjustments made by Vcore, the same 5.05 GHz frequency rate can be reached with only 68W and 56.5 degrees temperature.
AMD may have fixed the problem
The Ryzen 5 7600X processor, which is found in the person who shared the AIDA 64 test results, is an engineering sample product as we mentioned. Therefore, AMD may have fixed the power or voltage defect that caused the high temperature in the final product. The new Ryzen 7000 processors based on Zen 4 have a denser stacking structure than the previous generation. In addition, higher frequency speeds are offered compared to the previous generation. Therefore, it may indicate that the gold plating used in the processors to carry the heat effectively may be the cause of all this. At the end of the day, if you have a system build plan that uses a new high-end Ryzen 7000 series processors, you may want to consider adding a cooling solution to the buy-in.
