Are these temps fine?

[MartinIAm]

I have set my fan curve to be pretty quiet with some of my fans being at 0 rpm. I am letting my cpu stay around 70 degrees Celsius (under load and idle). I am using the stock cooler that came with the cpu because my old liquid cooler got a little too noisy. I have a ryzen 5 1600 and left it at stock speeds. Are these temps fine or should I go a little lower?

Is there some reason the CPU fan needs to turn off? Set the minimum to about 30% and see if you can tolerate the noise level. 70C idle is nuts!

Technically it should be fine, but I'd let the fan spin at some low rpm to keep the temperatures at around 60-65c

Over time, the heat can affect (dry up) the plastic in the frame of the fan and the fan blades and the fan blades may break or have various issues. A bit of airflow will help push away the heat from within the aluminum fins instead of cooking the plastic on top.

You're technically within spec but I wouldn't want to leave it that hot at idle. Even if it's a dull hum giving it a little air will keep the hardware alive for longer.

How much longer?

That's a question I don't think anyone can answer.

 

CPU's are actually pretty tough. I have a 3930K that's been through h*** and back. Still works almost flawlessly.

 

However there's kinds of hardware that really don't respond well to being really hot for long periods of time like electrolytic capacitors in PSUs. The electrolyte can dry up leading to premature failure.

 

Realistically speaking you will probably upgrade before the hardware starts to break down weather you keep it cool or not but if you would like to re-sell it some day, or turn it into a hand-me-down, or just build a second computer you want the equipment to continue to last.

 

Heat is the enemy of computers. If the hardware isn't under stress you want it to be cool.

After all of these posts I have decided to simply put on the "Silent" fan preset from AORUS. This doesn't not include 0rpm mode and keeps my temps in a better position (50c Idle, 65c under load). I actually found out that most of my noise is coming from my 4 hard disk drives and I decided to turn them off after 15 minutes of no usage. Thanks!
