5800x power draw and max temps

[hossdaddy]

Hey all,

I am undervolting my 5800x on the system in my sig. Under full gaming load the power draw is 145w.
Is that normal?
Temp is 85c.

Also if there is anyone in the community that has a similar setup and would be willing to share their BIOS settings and results I would be eternally grateful


TIA

When I had my 5800x, I had good results with curve optimizer and custom PPT/EDC/TDC settings. I set mine to what the numbers would be set if it was a 95W CPU (PPT is 129w on AM4 with a 95W cpu in its socket).
You could go the easy route and set your motherboard to run the CPU in "Eco Mode"... this typically is 65w eco mode setting... some motherboards have both 45w and 65w .. but.. as mentioned.. I manually set mine.. as others do as well.. as you may be leaving performance on the table if you neuter it too much

While that temperature is is actually within the safe range.. there is always room for potential improvement..
