3900x high idle temp

I have a Ryzen 9 3900x, msi X570-A Pro mobo and a cooler master hyper 212 led turbo air cooler.

 

When idling, it barely goes below 50°C, it's usually around 55°C, peak core voltage around 1,3V, when doing  and if I do something (like open a tab in chrome or literally open any application), it can spike up to 60°C with a peak of 1,4V.

If I close a some background applications it sometimes goes down to 48°C, but it's usually at 50°C, peak core voltage around 1,25V, and if I do something the peak voltage can spike up to 1,38V, temps can hit 60°C as well.

 

In the bios the temp is about 42-45°c, but the moment it starts to boot windows, you can hear the cpu fans spinning up, after login it can reach even 70°C, then after a few minutes it will go back to ~55°C (usually idles around 60°C until I stop windows compatibility telemetry).

What I tried so far:

  • I have disabled pbo and set the offset voltage to -0,1V
  • Removed msi dragon center from auto-startup
  • The cooler is attached correctly and the thermal paste is spread correctly (using the cooler master thermal paste that came with the cooler)
  • The airflow in the case is really good, previously it served a 4790k perfectly (just like the cooler, I use the same)
  • Installed the chipset drivers, and tried using the ryzen balanced scheme

 

Under load (stressing it with cpu-z) it runs adround 80°C, I'm fine with that, I mean this is a 12 core beast running 4ghz with an air cooler, but those idle temps looks too high for me.

Also something else, this motherboard has 8+4 cpu power pins, and I only plugged in 8 (my psu doesn't have any more), but I think that can't cause this issue right?

I have disabled pbo

You shouldn't have PBO enabled on a 3900X anyway with that motherboard.

 

Are you running the latest BIOS and chipset drivers? What power plan are you using?

Seems like fairly reasonable temps.

 

Not that idletemps matter a whole lot.

Using the latest chipset, but using the stock bios (h.40 AM4 1.0.0.3, release date 09/10/2019).

As I have seen this motherboard doesn't have backup bios, and I can't find anything if the flash bios button can recover from a failed install, so I didn't take the risk.

 

Currently using the ryzen balanced power plan, but switching to the windows balanced doesn't make a difference.

i would update to latest bios. unless you have power cuts often, there isn't a risk in updating bios.

Unless you often have power outages, updating the BIOS shouldn't result in any problems, and it's usually a fairly quick process.

 

With the latest updates for Windows, the Windows Balanced plan isn't much different from the Ryzen Balanced, so both should work similarly.

there arent a thing called "ryzen temps" it is normal for cpus to fluctuate. since the cpu usage fluctutes between 2-5% on my ryzen 7 3700x

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
