Ryzen 5 5600x running at 85-91 C at 30-40% usage

[aminJay]

So, I just built my first PC using Ryzen 5 5600x cpu, Nvidia 3080 as gpu, and MSI gaming B550 carbon wifi as motherboard. After two days, I was playing cod cold war, and I noticed my cpu core temperature to be 91 C after just 30 minutes of play. The cooler I am using is the AMD stealth stock cooler which is not that great and ordered Noctua u12a after seeing these alarming temperatures, the fans were running at full speed and the cpu usage was around 35-40%. After watching some Youtube videos, I saw stock cooler goes around 88 at 100% cpu usage. The case I am using is P300A with two intake fans and two outtake fans, so temps drop really fast after I quit the game. Any tips of why this is happening?

are you overclocking at all? did you tighten the screws till they stopped?

No, I am not overclocking at all. I am pretty sure I tightened the screws and made sure by slightly shaking the cooler to make sure it was in place.

Thermal paste?

That series for TDP of 65 watts

the amd stock cooler is supposed to be tightened until it stops, it will be quite linear until you reach the correct tightness.

The stock cooler had pre applied thermal paste, so I didn't apply any extra, and yes the cpu has a TDP of 65 watts.

Hmm does the air feel warm from the pccor the glass panel is it loud

Thanks, I will open it up and check if its properly tightened.

CPU fan does run at 100% while gaming so its loud, but as soon I close the game cpu goes down to 50 degrees in 5 min.

obvious solution would be to get an aftermarket cooler, especially with the sales going on. but aside from that, u might want to check fitment and also the thermal paste coverage. its possible u might have some uneven spreading or even uneven contact between the ihs and cooler

Check fan curve

I just got the Noctua u12a, but was still surprised why the stock cooler is performing this bad. After opening it up will check how uneven the thermal paste spread is.

Fan is spinning perfectly fine, feel like something is wrong with how the thermal paste is or the contact between cpu and cooler is not that good.

do u happen to have a picture of it?

It could be that its running with all core turbo enabled aswell.

When i got my Ryzen 5 3600X it was running at 4.4 ghz on all cores and really made my stock cooler work until i turned the all core turbo off in the Bios.

I have an Auros B550 Elite.

 

Regardless id check if the cooler is fully down because i do feel your pain when you install the stock cooler it feels like you are destroying everything when tightening it down usually id have to really force the last corner down to even get it to screw in no matter how much i tried to avoid it

tighten the screws properly, no need for aftermarket cooler at stock speeds

Just tightened the screw was able to tighten it by one fourth rotation on every screw. But the temps didn't go down. Still sitting on 42 idle and goes to 85 C in 5 min while gaming.

So I set all my fans on full speed and my cpu fan ran at 100% while my temperature still being at 42-50C on boot and idle.

I did an AMD stress test. 100% usage temps reached 75C, ran it for 5 minutes. However, after that I opened COD and Valorant, cpu usage 30-40% and temps reached 80-90C.
