So I got a ryzen 5 1600 and I put a modest OC at 1.3v and 3.7 GHZ
when I stress the cpu the wattage under the chip in HWmoniter seems to go to 80W (65.25W total cores) is that safe for a TDP of 65 on this cpu?

also the V goes to 1.325 but I guess I can live with that. the cpu doesn't downclock under 3.7 when its idle. I have LLC to auto. any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not an expert but I think when you overclock over the standard boost clock it disables the idle power saving feature. I would worry about what the max temp is and not the Ws.
