What is a good ryzen 5 2600 overclocked temperature?

[Lilninjsways]

So I know I have posted a shit ton recently surrounding my new pc/hardware

 

I haven't oc'd my ram so it is still at 3000 mhz. but my ryzen 5 2600 is at 3.8 now I like to keep my computer silent while doing normal computing (email, youtube, google, browsing steam)

 

I dont mind it getting loud during times when I am gaming since i have either speakers or my headphones drowning the sound

 

But what should be a reasonable temperature for basic browsing/computer stuff and what should the temperature be for gaming in games like monster hunter, black ops4, battlefield, and other intensive games?

 

And how would i monitor the temperature in games that dont come with a in game temperature display?

Use MSI Afterburner to monitor your temps. I would say 80C-85C maximum when overclocked. If it hits 90C I would tone down the OC.

82,1 is the maximum temps i would constantly keep it on, lower is better of course

Alright should I think about investing into water cooling for my cpu to keep my cpu from being so hot?

Most people would recommend water cooling but I just can't trust it. Not worth the risk to trash my whole rig imo. You can use high quality air coolers and re-apply thermal paste if you'd rather avoid the risk.

If you are using the stock cooler then moving to a 240mm+ AIO would help improve temps.

Even compared to the other stock coolers it isn't a great option when overclocking.

Should i revert my overclock settings till i get a better option?

Depends. If you can game and keep temps below 80c i would think you are ok for now. I would look in to a better cooler... even a cheap H212 or C7 would give you much better results.

Alright well what would be a really good silent cooler? I dont mind spending extra for the convenience of it being silent

The H7 is actually pretty quiet it is rated for 10-25db. The supreme ruler is the NH-D15, but it is huge and might not fit in your case... plus it is pretty spendy. For the price of it I would just go with a 240mm AIO.

 

Btw the Freezer 33 Esports edition is also a decent air cooler. Now sure how loud it is though off hand.
