Thermal Throttling

[Tyger261]

I have a ryzen 5 2600 with a auros b450 elite
whenever i start up the system and check the speeds of my cpu it sometimes hits up to 3.9 ghz without me even overclocking it, after running a cpu heavy game such as Counter Strike or any game in fact the ghz drops to 0.6 and the entire system slows. how i know its thermal is because observing ryzen master i can see the thermals of the cpu hit 50 degrees as the ghz tank. disabling prohoc which is the thermal sensor i believe because when i turn that off the ghz regulate to 3.4 ghz and below which is the usual speeds.

edit: yes im aware that 50 isnt high, but its picked up as high thats why im experiencing thermal throttling, my cooler is seated properly with the thermal paste fully spread over the cpu and fan. my thermals during boot never go over 45 and running stress tests doesnt push it over 65 which is amazing. yet if i dont disable the prochot in ryzen master the cpu throttles to 0.60ghz

can anyone suggest what the problem may be or if there are any solutions

Counter Strike is not a CPU heavy game.

Check your coolers seating and make sure that the cooler is 100% putting pressure on the IHS of the CPU - if the contact with the cooler isn't 100%, even a small load will cause the CPU to overheat. I've not seated my old i7 3770 properly because I broke the seating mechanism of the stock Intel cooler and the temps were 90 degrees upon booting.

Check that the thermal paste has spread evenly and that it isn't dry too.

It could be a lack of air to the VRMs, but I highly doubt it.

50° is not hot... It shouldn't be throttling there

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Review

Temperatures & What to Buy. Today we're checking out the $200 Ryzen 5 2600, the most affordable chip of AMD's 2nd-gen processors. It's a bit cheaper than the 2600X we tested on...

That's not hot in the slightest.

Your CPU should throttle around 85 degrees. 50 degrees is low. That's pretty much a light load.

im aware, thats the problem. its picking it up as a thermal issue, how do i fix it?

This could be a BIOS problem. If you are using a 2nd Gen Ryzen you should not upgrade the BIOS to one of the 3rd gen BIOS revisions. It can mess with the clocks . Have you done this ?
The manufactures actually warn users not to upgrade.
So if you have updated your BIOS to anything since 3rd Gen came out I would suggest reverting to a BIOS just before 3rd gen support.

will give it a try as i did update the bios

hi bud did you solve the issue?

Thermal throttle isn't the cpu.. its new win10 update look on web on it. you can also fix that.. had the same problem with my 3900x and founded that it was windows update
