PC temperature average

[patken007]

CPU AMD ryzen 9 5950x

Cooler is noctua NH-U12A

 

New PC is done an i am very happy with the result BUT...

 

I am unsure about the temperature of the CPU

 

When the PC as no task

When i game 

When i use software like Adobe Premier Pro

 

Sometime  i have temerature spike up until 83 celcius and am doing nothing on the PC 

 

Fans are PWM

 

Could use some help

That's not good. What case do you use, and what fan placement is set?

The NH-U12 is not enough to cool a 16 core processor.

Go for either the NH-D15/NH-D15S or a liquid cooler.

Or if one has the room (in the case) something big like an Scythe Ninja 5 or equivalent.

Even with that cooler idle temps shouldn't be hitting 83, OP said he was doing nothing with the computer.

 

You didn't leave the protective plastic on the plate of the cooler did you I've done it before  

 

Still for that CPU I'd get a 280mm AIO water cooler.

Windows 10 likes to make sure that the PC is not idle

It also could be the thermal pastes and mounting pressure,

For OP: What thermal paste did you use?

It is suppose to be.

[patken007]

Sometime the fans start spinning around very fast for a few sec to a min, and after that slows down.

[patken007]

These are the reading after playing roughly 30 min of shadow of the tombs raider at ultra setting.

How are the temperatures in Prime95 with the Small FFTs option?

Am sorry but my english is not very good. So can you explain the prime 95 and the FFTs please

Have you tried ryzen master or any other software to measure temps? HWmonitor can sometimes give false readings with AMD.  Have you looked in bios to see cpu temps?

Noctua isn't recommending them for a 16 core. They stop at 12 core.

What would you recommend for a cooler replacement?

 

Liquid cooling or air cooling

 

What brand?

I don’t care about RGB, all I want is a very efficient and reliable cooling system.

I’ve just installed Ryzen master, thank you for the advice. As for the CPU temp in the Bios, I didn’t really check. By the time i check the temp in the BIOS, it might just go down, what do you think?

The readings in bios should give you at least an idea of the idle temps, I thnk it depends on the bios/motherboard but the cpu might run at full speed in bios anyway (full clock speed, not full load)

 

Another option is to manually test the temps with an IR heat gun thermometer or probe or thermocouple. They will only give rough temp of of the surface of the cpu socket/heatsink (depending where you point/touch it) though so aren't that useful.

 

As for the plastic film on the bottom of the heatsink, this pic shows what I mean:

I confirm it is not there

so I’ve played for about 50 min of shadow of the tombs raider at ultra, as you can see on the graphic and topped 80 degrees
