No worries - how are you both after the booster side effects ? well I hope - have a good one

As Hendrix once said - I'll see you in the next one and don't be late

How many of you run a modern(ish) Ryzen?
They seem to run a little hot. 65C while stress testing, but I read somewhere these chips are good for up to 90 degrees or so.
I know nothing about AMD. Am I totally off base here thinking my chip is actually running pretty cool for this series of chips?

65 C while under stress is very good... The 9-line is graded up the close to 100 C, the 7-line is around 85 C...
Probably with age you will see some higher temperatures... In case it comes you can bring in some serious cooling system... or switch the CPU...
However for now the 65 C is more than perfect...

It would be, except I have a problem which might be related.
My CPU is performing very poorly on userbenchmark compared to other people's Ryzen 7 4750Gs on the CPU benchmark. It's not anything obvious like slow RAM or throttling by Windows power settings.
So it almost makes me wonder if my BIOS is undervolting my chip or something?

Except the benchmark problem - do you see an actual problem while working on the computer?
Do you know the site 'tom's hardware'? It is a very good place to ask questions about hardware...

Tom's hardware? I didn't think that site was legitimate. I got malware from there once I think, but it was years ago.
I don't see a problem per se, but the numbers are so out of whack it makes me wonder if there *is* one, you know?
I don't like the idea of hardware anomalies on my system. Smells like trouble to me.

I got no malware from that site, but some good answers...
As for hardware anomalies... Benchmark is not exactly rocket science and if beside it your experience is good I would not bother myself over it... Run your most demanding game and see how it behaves - that is a more solid test than any benchmark software...

Well, my single core performance *could be better* but that's more about shortening compile times.
With the monster video card I have in it, it eats games.

Do you use -m (or any other definition of parallel compiling)? It may help not to use a single core for all the compilations...

GCC doesn't seem to be thread aware, but your build system might be. For example, gnu make takes -j to specify how many jobs to run simultaneously. The man page says "If the -j option is given without an argument, make will not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously.", which sounds like you'd run into context switch issues if you have a large project with many large modules. Visual Studio can do multi processor compiles tooEnabling Multi-Processor (Parallel) Builds in Visual Studio • Helge Klein

IIRC -m is for msbuild... If you need on GCC you should use make's -j to do that...

I like HardwareLuxx too (german forum, but you find english threads as well)...
they were really helpful getting my graphics card and I found several guys to be really competent with AMD topics (however there are a lot of wannabes, as anywhere else in the internet)
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Did you try pressing the 'Turbo' button on the front of the computer? 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Checked the bios version? It can be a bit of a pita the way e.g. asus has organised the bios updates, but I do think it is worth it. Esp. when you upgrade your cpu on the same MB, which is often an option with AMD.

One of the first things I did after I noticed the issue was update the BIOS. It made no difference.

I have an AMD Ryzen too! 
(AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor, according to the device manager)
I have no idea how to check temperature or run performance test.. but if you send some link my way I could run the same thing on my machine, as a comparison, if you like?
Caveat, I am using Windows 11, if it makes any difference...
I also have virtual hardware on (for Windows Sandbox!  )

Curiously enough, I left my AMD Ryzen laptop running when I was out for a couple of hours and it had rebooted. I saw "DHCPv4 client registered for shutdown notification" in the Event Viewer and googling this suggested it might be an issue with the temperature getting out of hand, but all I had open was some browser windows and Spotify, not even a game or an IDE.
What app do you use to check the stress test? I can try that later today after I log off and get back with my results.
Cheers,
Vikram.

It's called HWMonitor by CPUID - the same folks that make CPU-Z

Edit: Now I'm hearing that tool doesn't report temps correctly on AMD systems so I'm trying this one: HWInfo64[^]
