Is 50 °C normal for an 3950x??

Go to solution Solved by Bombastinator,

Strikes me as a possibly high depending on how this 85c° is reached. I just ran into an instance where people were claiming load temp limits based on situations where the cpu was not stressed over 20%.   85c is below the 95c threshold for ryzen2, so as long as it actually never gets hotter than that it’s probably fine as was said, but if that number was not reached stressing the cpu if the cpu ever actually is stressed numbers could go a lot higher than 85c.  If that is done a lot a problem could arise.

Hey,

 

is it normal to have around 50 °C idle with a 3950x? I'm cooling it with an Corsair 150i
It doesn't really get over 85 °C. Just to be sure that I'm not killing my CPU.

idle temps do not matter. only load temps do. since your load temps are fine your cpu is fine too.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Idle on my 3900X is around 45c dependant on ambient so I would say yes that’s fine. Like SavageNeo said, it’s your load temps that matter and they are fine.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

load temps of 85°C under synthetic load in R20 looped for about 10 minutes.

The idle temps just striked me as high.

Thanks for the quick teck tips :P
