CPU temps after upgrade to kernel 5.6.4-152

Hi Ryzen 3XXX users,
I have Ryzen 3600X and after upgrade to kernel 5.6.4-152 my CPU usage when open browser and playing youtube is around 2-3%. With previous kernel I was hitting around _32-42C Tdie temp, now it's more between 36-50C. Did you observed increased temperature with your CPUs? My set is water-cooled and previously temps were lower.

Run top cmd from terminal and see if you notice anything causing an extra load on the cpu that's not normally running.
This is probably not your issue but just a example of how the above cmd helped me identify a issue.
I ran the above and noticed tracker-miner (in my case) was top of the list so I knew where to look, turned out the issue was caused by a android source code I had in the Downloads folder.
The tracker-miner used to get stuck on indexing and it ate all my cpu% trying. It drove me nuts with the fan constantly running until eventually I found the cause and offending folder which I removed and all was good again.
Other possible causes could be your browser and "youtube" lib updates which I am sure I saw flash past in one of the recent updates. 😅
As you will of probably guessed I am NO pro only a new'ish user to both Linux and Solus but just sharing my experiences 😄

I have a AMD Ryzen 3900X, no difference in observed temps.

is the weather getting warmer where you are too? 😁

No it's not weather or some processes in background. I have taichi x370 motherboard with latest bios. And first time in my life bios did went to default on it's own. I don't know what happened but it was totally reset. Maybe there was some critical error? And it went to default. I'm just checking Asrock forums as it's so strange...

After setting everything up in bios temps are good now. Perfectly stable at 34*C while I'm writing this post. No strange peaks with clocks and temps.
