Is 70ºC for a Rysen 3600X in stress, normal?

[bejamartins]

Hey guys, I'm used to get 60ºC tops with my Intel chips and just recently jumped to Ryzen. I always heard that AMD has worse temps, is 70ºC on stress expected with the stock cooler?
Should I invest in a better cooler for now (I don't plan to overclock it in the near near future).

Its always good to buy a better cooler. But that temp is fine aslong as you dont expect to overclock (and yes i did read that you dont plan to)

70 degrees C on a stock cooler is totally fine. Usually I would ask what your ambient temps are, but 70 C is entirely fine.

A better cooler will allow you to run it quieter, while retaining the same temps.

 

the max temp for this CPU is 95 degrees C, just to give you some perspective.

I intend to but for what I see budget coolers seem to be as good as the stock one, so I planned to wait a bit to buy something better. I just got worried with these temps through.

If thats the case. Hold off on it. 70 degrees is plenty fine. Dont worry.

With the stock cooler on a 6 core? Doubtful

 

The 3600X may be a bit warm with the cooler it's included with but certainly not a bad temperature.

From that I have seen, even the budget coolers still do a better job than the stock cooler.  The $40 Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo seems to show about a 6-8 degree improvement for example and even the Hyper 212 gives a fair amount of improvement. Still 70 degrees with a stock cooler doesn't seem all that bad.

High-end Intel CPUs don't come with a stock cooler, so with budget coolers. Also, up 'till recently most Intel CPU's were only quad-core.

the 8700 comes with a stock cooler

besides the 3600x has max temp of 95c anyway so thats still kinda a joke to it. i mean obviously would not want it that hot at all but lots of thermal room for as is atm.
