Ryzen 5 3600 temperature

[lipiosians]

hey. I'm new here. I've been going through these forums and google search a lot whenever I encounter something that I need a little help with. I just now finally decided to sign up so I could ask my own questions and hopefully be able to answer some and be of help to others here.

 

I recently built a ryzen 5 rig (my first build) and I am worried about my temperature readings. I have found contradicting statements regarding acceptable temp readings. I've read some say idle should be between 30 and 40 Celsius while full load should be between 60-75. Others say up to low 90's at full load are still within normal range. with the stock wraith stealth, I got a peak of 95 degrees and an average of 85 after running prime 95 for 20 minutes. i recently bought a 6 heat pipe cooler and lowered the average to around 65 degrees after running prime 95 for 30 minutes but it still peaks at 85. should I be worried?

 

it should also be noted that the ambient temperature during the tests were between 30 and 35 degrees ( i know. that's how hot it is right now where I live. and that's at night!)

 

any feedback (warnings, reassurance, suggestions, etc) would be greatly appreciated.

Anything below 95C is safe, ideally you want it as low as possible for the highest possible boosting.

Honestly, this seems fine to me. I mean PRIME95 is such an unfair test, it pushes your CPU like almost nothing else you would do in actual usage. 

 

My advice, track the temps over a day or so of normal usage and reflect on that. Theres no point looking at a number that you will probably never really see if any real world use case.

 

PS the temps seems fine given your ambient temp imo.

Also modern AMD and Intel CPU’s will thermal throttle when hitting 95C and 100C respectively, so its pretty hard to damage your CPU via temps.

looks good

thanks for the quick response guys. that really put my mind at ease.
