R5 3600 Temp? What should it be?

[Omikse]

I just installed a 3600 into my system replacing a 1600. My 1600 running on idle would be around 35c to 40c and stress testing using Adia64, it would get up to a little over 60c. With the 3600, it is going between 52c and 63c on idle and up to 78c when tested. And also my Wraith Prism Cooler ramps up to over 2700rpm. Does this sound right or did I do something wrong?

Have you applied thermal paste properly and ensured the cooler is on properly?

I put a pea sized amount in the middle like I usually do. Just with the wraith prism it is more like a clip than screw down so it may have shifted a little side to side.

Ryzen 3000 idles hot and the cpu will generally try and push itself to around 80c under load. Also you might want to put more thermal paste on a ryzen chip since the cpu dies are more spread out.

Man I am starting to run out of my Thermal Grizzly Paste. I will do that in a tomorrow when I have more time. But being around 77c under stress should be ok?

My 3800x runs up to 80c while I’m doing a prologued stress test and I’m not stressing about it Because the CPUs are rated to run up to 95c. Also, the AMD stock coolers (at least for mine) did not have a very level cold plate which results in poor cpu contact. Here’s an article by noctua explaining why the 3000 chips get so hot https://noctua.at/en/why-is-my-ryzen-3000-processor-getting-so-hot-why-are-ryzen-3000-cpus-running-hotter-than-previous-generation-ryzen-cpus-with-the-same-tdp-rating-is-there-anything-wrong-with-my-cooler

You can try to unmount the cooler, and see if the thermal paste was spred across whole CPU, and ideally in thin layer... If the paste is not spred evenly and on whole CPU, you want to re-do it. If it was good, you did it right and the mistake is somewhere else. Also, you seem like you didn´t OC it, its just its own Thermal boost thingy, right?

It is worth noting that 3000 runs a little hotter than 1600, you are on a box cooler nonetheless and 77°C is still fine under stress load.
If it gets above 80°C after 30min stress test, I might get a better cooler, but up until 90°C you´re still on safe side

Yeah, those temps sound about right, it's in-line with normal behavior.

 

Afterthought: If it's too loud or making your ears bleed get earplugs I recommend experimenting with changing the thermal throttle temp. I noticed performance degradation as temps climbed into the 80s
