Hi, I bought a few months ago a ryzen 9 5900x. It ran fine until now, when I wanted to push it a little and get to 5Ghz. On turbo, it's running at 4.7ghz and without 3.7ghz. I asked chatgpt how to, gave him details about how it was going and what I wanted to do with it, and he said to me that my core voltage was a bit high (1.46v with turbo and 1.04v without), and that it could damage itself if I leave it like that. He also told me (and I had seen it before) that my cpu is using a lot of power when not doing anything (60-110w @ 10% usage. Is this all normal and if not how do I fix it ?
