Are my temps to high?

I just built my first computer a few weeks ago and I choose to us the 3600x. After using ryzen master and other software to check my system I noticed my cpu idle temps seem a bit high. They can be from 45° up to 50°c and they kinda just go up and down. I have a h100i aio and I wanted to know if these temps are to high. While gaming temp are in the high 50s up to low 60 on battle 5 max settings.

AMD CPUs used to have a hard max of 60C (back in the thuban days), but that's not true anymore. most CPUs have a hard max of about 90C now, and i'd say anything below 60C during load is pretty decent. 

 

when i say hard max i mean the CPU will throw a BSOD and crash and die and hate you, but still recover most of the time. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

His Ryzen 3600x has a throttle temp of 95c and won't BSOD. It'll back down clocks and voltage to try and prevent hitting the thermtrip temp.

Those temps are perfectly fine. Idle temps, for most part, don't really matter anyways. What you need to care about is the temps under heavy load.

Make sure to quote or tag people, so they get notified.

we're at 95C now huh? man lithography has improved a ton. 

 

i wasn't sure if AMD had started to hobble itself before tanking. they used to tank hard. i know intel's chips do the same. 

that means you can run any CPU without a cooler now and not kill it.

Thank you for the information that really helps with my confidence on those temps.

First and second Gen where 90c throttle, they upped it a touch for third gen, not sure why. 

The high temp alert is 70c, at all defaults the cpu fan should be at 100%.

What your actual load temps are? For normal everyday usage those are very much normal temps.
