Yeah, Ryzen 3000 does appear to use a fair amount of voltage out-of-box, and if you do drop the voltage make sure you check that you aren't dropping too much performance by checking with a CPU-intensive benchmark run (e.g. Cinebench).It's inherent to the design, though, so if it's auto volting up to ~1.5V it's not a huge issue. The latest chipset drivers from AMD are supposed to address at least how quick the CPU is to ramp up with minor workloads (noticed this with the fan ramping up quickly in response to spike in temp, then spinning back down).Also concur about the chipset fan. I bought a 40mm Noctua fan just in case, to print out an adapter if I found it too noisy, but it hasn't been noticeable (also have decent air flowing over VRMs, anyway). I think Gigabyte also adjusted the chipset fan curve with later BIOS version, so if people were complaining about it, it was likely with the original BIOS.
