Finally got to updating my BIOS to F39 26/March/2024 (been on F35 13/July/2021 since it came out), everything seemed fine at stock, input exactly the same settings I had before for my 24/7 (in sig), ran Cinebench and saw temps spike hard. Tried OCCT on the CPU default settings, and it hit 110c+ after a few seconds, when it usually did 85c-90c for hours of stress testing. Noticed the CPU was pulling ~185w and raising when it never did more than ~145w? Did my old BIOS have a throttle/limiter function that is absent or turned off here? Tips?

4.4ghz all core 1.32v, FCLK 1900mhz

Running it at 4.3ghz 1.25v atm to keep temps in check, but really want to go back to my 24/7 if at all possible :rain:
 
Found the problem, for some reason the new bios defaulted PPT/TDC/EDC to 0, which made my power intake go mental. Toned them down to a much healthier 120/80/110 for now, which dropped my temps by ~50c. How the hell was this not flagged in QC...
 
Gigabyte doing Gigabyte things?

How come you are using power limits with static clocks?
Tried resetting BIOS and loading optimized defaults, nothing changed, so tried it and temps/watts went back down to last BIOS levels. Going to keep it throttled until I get some feedback from Gigabyte or anyone here with similar issues.
 
Ok, patchwork of sorts,had to find and use the default PPT/TDC/EDC (142w/95A/140A) values for my 3800x on the PBO table, but took some trial and error as the changes weren't being saved, had to reset bios + enable PBO in manual mode and input values (were all zeroed) + save restart + turn off PBO + save restart + input my old values for my fixed 24/7 all core + save restart. Seems to be holding, now let's see for how long. Then remember there's an issue next time I update the BIOS, or it resets on its own...
 
So... Everything seemed to be working fine until this started happening at least once a day during a heavy load (this case I re-installed TLoU, and it did the shader build at start), any thoughts if this might somehow be a part of the bug even though my settings are manually locked to the values on the post above, or HWinfo64 is misreading even though I've updated it 2x since?

The CPU temp seems fine to me. Weird that average show 102 degrees as it should throttle from there (you don't show any throttling reasons). Id bet it's a glitch in the Hwinfo matrix.

Not sure why EDC is highlighted.......below that it's peaking at 105W.

......I had to miss something. :chair:
 
How are you able to do that with EDC?

105w package power is nothing, but wth man.

Also, never have seen L3 temp that high, you mad man you.

You don't think it's strange having a 140 amp cap in BIOS for EDC and seeing the software showing it hitting 221 amps, even if it's just a micro-bump? I mean, everything else is well in spec considering the CPU/GPU were stressed while building shaders (and gaming after). Wouldn't that explain the average temp glitch I'm having?

Yeah, this is my "low temp" profile, 4.3ghz all core @~1.25v and max I've ever seen with this setup is ~75c, not the ridiculous 102c in the screenshot...

No idea. Microbursts of power shouldn't cause your temps to skyrocket. I'm not sure what is right or wrong as, AFAIK, you should have thermal throttling as "yes" if you're actually hitting 103C.

EDIT: But you're peak core temp is ~74C... not even close to throttling. Not sure what that is or if I would even worry about it.. reflash like FA said below.

Seems like you have had a bunch of problems since flashing, maybe try re flashing or go back to the one you were using before?

A few :LOL: It seemed fine (after my tweaking) until this started happening though, still waiting for newer "stable" bios, the 2 more recent that I have available for download are beta, so not really keen on trying them, and as far as I know we can't use older ones past a certain revision. No idea about the L3 temp, don't remember ever having that shown (updated this program a few days ago), and wouldn't know if it's good or bad regardless.
