Suspected Dud Ryzen 3000 CPUs (Patreon)

BTW if you live in Australia and you have a Ryzen 3600, 3600X or 3700X that doesn't boost the way you think it should I'd like to buy if off you (for the retail price so you can get another and I can test it). Message me privately if you have a dud ;)

Not to go too far off-topic, but as I just have the base 3600 model, my boosts don't go that far anyway. I have a B450 Tomahawk and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler. I have PBO enabled in the BIOS with a +200 MHz boost offset and my clocks typically hover between 4225-4275 MHz on all cores. My issue is (and I have verified this is still the case no matter which BIOS version I use, no matter which version of the AMD chipset drivers I use, stock settings, PBO disabled, etc, etc.... my voltages NEVER drop below 1.35V, and most of the time they are over 1.4V on idle. I've seen the Reddit post that Robert Hallock put out about this last month and I followed his suggestions. But no matter which monitoring tool I use, the voltage is nearly always above 1.4V. This is also a new build with a brand new copy of Windows installed. Am I experiencing the "observer effect" even though I've exhausted every monitoring tool I can think of? HWinfo, Ryzen Master, CPU-Z. Running one at a time. Using the Ryzen Balanced power profile. I've set the min CPU state to both 0% and 5% but yielded no difference. I've tried the power saver profile, also the stock Windows Balanced profile. Nothing affects voltage and I mean NOTHING. Am I supposed to trust my CPU is working right and just take AMD's word for it? I've been an IT professional for 20 years and building PCs for closer to 30 and this just flies in the face of everything I know. Surely there has to be a way to know *FOR CERTAIN* my CPU is working okay. Is it just staying at higher voltages because the temps are so low with my cooler? Even that doesn't make sense because why wouldn't you want to save power if the CPU is sitting there doing nothing?

Have you measured power consumption with a wall meter? AMD has said voltages with 7nm will be higher than you're used to, I wouldn't focus on monitoring voltages and just look at power consumption at idle and under load.

My 3600 is a freaking lemon, won't go past 4075Mhz in single thread loads (cinebench r20) and I would gladly get rid of it, however I live in Spain. Let me know if you are happy to accept overseas 3600s.
