Ryzen 5 3600 running at 95 deg C

[Tushar Moily]

Hello everyone. My desktop has the following specs :

 

1) Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler

2) MSI B450 Tomahawk max motherboard

3) Aorus RTX 2060 super 8gb ddr6 triple fan model.

4) Corsair Vengance LPX 2 x 8gb ddr4 3200mhz ram

5) Corsair VS650 SMPS.

6) WD 240gb nvme m.2 SSD

7) WD 1TB 7200rpm hard drive

8) Cooler Master Masterbox H501l ATX case. The case comes with 2 fans. One at front and one at rear.

 

As you can see in the attached photograph, I'm running Far Cry 5 at 1080p ultra settings with HD textures on. I did undervolt my GPU to 0.95 volts because of which I'm getting a constant boost clock of 1995 mhz.

 

I haven't touched the CPU. No overclocking and no undervolting. It's running as it is out of the box with stock cooler. But it is running constantly at 95 deg C. Although, it is able to maintain 3950 mhz speed, I feel that the temperature is too high for my liking. Is it normal for Ryzen 5 3600 to run at 95 deg C?

 

P.s - I am from India and the ambient temperature here ranges from 29 deg C to 36 deg C.

Try these to see if it helps

 

1) Turn off PBO

2) Use negative offset voltage from 0.05 to 0.1v

3) Re-apply the cooler with better thermal compound like Arctic MX-4.

 

If you try those following and it does not help at all than your two choices are turn on AC and/or invest a bigger cooler.

Hey thanks for your reply.

 

So I checked out AMD's website. (link - https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600). They have mentioned that the max operating temperatures for Ryzen 5 3600 is actually 95 deg C.

 

For now I will try to undervolt the CPU and try to get temperatures below 90 deg C. If it doesn't work then shall buy a better cooler and thermal paste.

Also, the only proper tool for temperature monitoring on Ryzen is the AMD Ryzen Master.

 

Running 95°C the CPU is severely throttled not to burn out and that costs a lot when it comes to performance. You need a better cooler.

The stock cooler is perfectly fine for a 3600, with temps <85 C, unless the cooler is broken or installed wrong, it's not the cooler's fault.

Are you in an air conditioned room when you're running your PC?

 

If no, i won't be very surprised it gets that hot. People are saying 3600 runs hot on stock cooler and they are testing it on 22-25C ambient temperature

 

One of the things you could do is undervolting, it should help with the temps.

 

Another is simply to get additional cooler. You could get the popular ones or idk if they have an off-brand in india that has good value for money

I suggest you change your thermal compound, it's most likely not the cooler's fault.

i live in india and inspite of have three fans front and one at back, my idle temperature was : 55 and load : 85+

 

Now after changing to Antec A400 cooler, mine does idle 41 and load 65 max, and i live in chennai india where the room temperature will be 31deg

Try to undervolt it and then up the core clock. I was able to run at 1.15v at 4.15 ghz on all cores. My temps won’t go over 88c. 
 

before undervolt I was getting 98c at stock and I live in California with much cooler ambient temps I would imagine. 
 

I wrote more about this on another post.

I should mention that my performance actually improved by doing this too!

Can you post a picture of your case that we can see your airflow setup?
