Idle temp for Ryzren 9 3900X

[Mondas42]

Hi

 

What's am acceptable temp for a Ryzen 9 3900 X at idle when cooled by a 240mm AIO? Mine seems to sit around the 60'C mark. Is this ok? seems a tad warm to me?

 

Ambient temp is 26'C at the moment.

60 seems too much. i usually get 40-50 c

Thanks, that said when I look on Ryzen master its saying 48'C but on HWmonitor its the 60'C ish mark??

Even at a balmy 26C, 60C idle seems warm. But what's important is your load temps, what are they?

trust ryzen master to my knowledge. hw could be misreporting but make sure what you are observing is indeed the cpu temps

Don't use HWmonitor.  Use HWiNFO or Ryzen Master.

with HW Monitor under full load its around the 78'C mark, but not checked with Ryzen Master under load. Will do so.

I wouldn't necessarily be too concerned with it then. I'm not sure what my 3800x idles at (I'm on my lappy), but I believe it was in the 40s, but it's max load was similar to yours.

 

You could try to remount your cooler and see if that makes a difference, but I wouldn't necessarily stress about it, as none of your temps are dangerous.

Hi

ryzen master or hwinfo64 are the only ones that can monitor temps correctly for ryzen 

if the load temps are fine then do not worry about idle temps

The reason your 3900x is running and idling warm is because of the Core Performance Boost and Precision Boost Overdrive options in the BIOS... They're making your CPU spike up to 4.5ghz+ @ 1.4-5v constantly, its normal behaviour, but if you're not doing anything intensive where you need that type of power then you can disable those options within BIOS and make sure to keep AMD Cool n Quiet enabled.

This is what I have done since I don't edit or game, and my idle temperatures have gone from 40c-50c down to below 30c's. My CPU never goes over base 3.9ghz clock, and because of Cool n Quiet it downclocks to as low as 500mhz, so my idle temps are really between 20c-30c, and full load is never over 45c... But with the OC's enabled then load is 60c's.

 

Also HWinfo is really good for temperature monitoring, but bad at showing exact Core speeds... Use Ryzen Master to see real core speeds.
