CPU very HOT!

[joeyhummelman1]

Hey, I have a Ryzen 5 2600x running at stock speeds, so 4ghz I think.

 

I use the stock cooler with the stock thermal paste, my case has 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust and my GPU is a RTX 2060S

 

When I play warzone, temperatues spike upto 97degrees(!) which is way too hot (I think atleast)
When I stress my CPU using CPU-Z it reaches a max of 94 degrees.

What could be the issue? Please let me know any solutions with this high temperatures

Full specs?

 

Is the cooler mounted correctly?

[Haro]

only use hwinfo64 or ryzen master to monitor ryzen temps correctly. others can't do it correctly.

if you are, re seat the cooler and re apply thermal paste.

Is there an difference in temps if the side-panel is off?

The average dropped 3-4 degrees

Put the case fans to max speed.

They are, my case fans and gpu fans are both 100%

This is the current situation: https://gyazo.com/92605971f7dfe206fdd9731efd49c995
And this is on idle

While the cynical person in me would love to point out that the positioning of the fans on the TG4 do not allow the fans to actually pull air in from the side vents (they fixed this on the TG5 , and also anyone can move them to the other side without issue) the airflow shouldnt bad enough to cause a CPU to hit temps like that. You can confirm this by removing the front panel (not the side panel, leave that on for this test) and seeing if the fans help cool anything better.

 

Note where the front fans are mounted to the case, relative to the front vents that they draw air in from.

So basically I should get a new case

I don't think that case airflow should make that much of a difference. Are you sure that the cooler is mounted properly and the CPU fan is plugged in properly?

Yes, yes. I think I should reapply thermalpaste and clean the cooler soon. The idle temps are now aroudn 52 degrees

No. You should first try to work with the case you have for two reasons. Time, and money. (Also reapplying your CPU cooler first to see if that helps)

 

If you can spend a bit of time to get your current case working with the suggestions I had above (moving fans), then you save Time waiting for a new case to arrive, the entire disassemble and reassemble process of the entire PC (a case swap is the longest swap you can do because it requires the most time) and of course, paying for the new case.

So I have to move the fans further to the back?

That would be my recommendation, yes. 

 

Again, do a test without the front panel attached to verify that the front fans are even helping or hurting your thermal issues. It could be entirely the CPU cooler mount or the Profile Fan curve. Do the easy and quick tests first, and work your way up to the ones that take more time and effort to do

Definently the fans I think, I had the front panel off for like 2 minutes and already dropped 3 degrees

Tysm, I did this to the top 2 fans on the front and it made 25degrees difference, 25 DEGREES!

Yep, makes sense.

 

If the fans cant actually pull air from the vents because they're too close to the front panel, then they cant push any sir into the case. A lot of cheap RGB cases are like this trying to showcase RGB, without considering how it affects thermals.
