So I just built my first PC after having a pre built for 4 years. With it being a pretty high end build I wasn't impressed with the CPU temps. Below is the specs for the build.

 

Ryzen 3700x

Asus ROG Strix Lc 240 AIO with stock fans on the radiator 

Lian Li PC-O11 case

ASRock B550 Steel Legend

EVGA 2060 (In the EVGA 90 upgrade program so I will be upgrading to the EVGA FTW3 3080 when it is in stock)

Two 16 GB 3600 Trident Z neo sticks

1TB Western Digital black NVME

2 TB Seagate Barracuda 

3 Corsair LL120 case fans (with 3 more on the way)

A picture is included to show airflow configuration

 

The problem I was running into was the cpu temps. Without touching any of the fan speeds the, according to motherboard software, the cpu was running between 37-50. According to some quick google searches a build to this caliber should have much cooler temps. I then attempted to adjust fan speeds, I only adjusted the fans that are attached to the radiator. I used the motherboard software to adjust the speeds depending on the temps of the CPU which included.

 

1000 RPM at 35C

1200 RPM at 45C

1900 RPM at 60C

2240 Rpm (Max) at 80+C

All 3 case fans are running at 800 RPM

 

I'm not an expert on PC temps but with it hovering around 45C with only Spotify open it was getting fairly loud and I don't even have all the case fans in yet. Everything is up to date in my system. But this is where I need some assistance could it be possible that I installed the AIO incorrectly, is there a better RPM I could run at certain temps to reduce noise, should I just get better fans to put on the radiator, or do I need to change my air path in the case. If I had to replace the fans I would want them to be white but I don't really care other than that I just want performance and noise levels when I comes to the CPU temps.

 

Any help is much appreciated :D

Ryzen 3700x's are known for running hot, even on a AIO. I recommend trying der8auers aio bracket. I say this because the CPU die and I/O die are not centered. Using this bracket treats it as it's symmetrical. Otherwise, it's quite common.

You might get 3-5 degrees off the cpu

The issue with all the new cpus is they’re extremely dense. Tiny tiny tiny transistors packed very close together.  So close the problem is not so much cooling the chip with the cooler but getting the heat to the heat spreader in the first place so the cpu cooler can even work.  It’s not uncommon for 3700xes to hit 80c or more under load testing. There’s not a whole lot that can be done.  Some people win the silicon lottery and have chips that run cooler.  Some don’t.  You can try repasting with a better TIM or other cooler tricks, but I’m not sure how much good it will do. 

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.
