R5 1500x Running toasty??

[Lolisentinel]

Hi Everyone. Im on my first diy desktop running the 1500x. idling temps have been on the high side of 40-50 and with gaming temps at high 60-70s (highest at 80.9 atm) Am i doing something wrong here?

 

Ps. Kinda making me feel weird where the gpu (zotac 1060 amped) is consistently running cooler than the cpu even when gaming ( highest at 70.1 )

If you're stock thats perfectly fine and you may need different thermal paste but 60-70 range isnt abnormal

Ok, buy some arctic silver 5 or arctic silver mx4, take the cooler off and clean the cpu and backplate of the cooler, you can use isoproyl alcohol or equivalent alcohol on some cotton wool or tissue. Clean if off fully, place a pea of your new thermal compound on the processor, spread it if you want, I do ;P ... Then put the cooler on properly, so everything is a tight and perfect fit. Make sure you have enough positive airflow in your case. Atleast 1 intake and exhaust fan... If you need more help, ask
