Cpu temperature issue

kitkat4547 · June 20, 2020

So I have the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, built the pc yesterday (2nd pc build). Everything with my first pc build runs good and no issues, even in AAA games at high resolution. The problem is with the second one I built yesterday, with the same-ish parts, even in windows 10 on idle (only ryzen master or HWmonitor open) the cpu temperatures keep spiking up and then down Example: it goes from 50 to 65 degrees celsius, and even up to 87 degrees celsius(with nothing open except temperature monitors). For reference, the first pc has stayed at 40-50 degrees celsius when using normally, even when gaming it does not get as high as the 2nd pc's cpu.

Have you checked the thermal paste and cooler? Is the cooler fan running? If they are built in different cases, i will also recommend checking if there's proper airflow. Can you mention which coolers you are using for both of you CPUs?

Have not tried removing the cooler yet. Just using the stock coolers that come with them (amd wraith cooler I think). I am using two different cases for each pc, 1st one that runs fine (msi mag forge 100m case), 2nd pc with cpu problem (sahara p35 RGB case). I did try removing the glass panel to give it more airflow but did not improve anything. One thing I noticed is the cpu cooler fan is staying at the same speed (I think) but the temperature spikes up and down.
