Cpu temps question

[Jtromme]

So I just built my first pc today, and I am running a 5800x and a 3070. My CPU is idling at 30-35 degrees Celsius, and averages 65 when playing Minecraft. Is that normal? Is there a way to lower temps?

65 celsius is a very low temp for gaming. Don't bother trying to lower it.

And 35 is good for idle?

idle temps don't really matter if your gaming temps are under control

There is a way to lower it, yes. Use an aftermarket cooler.

Here are my temps, before and after upgrading to the NHU12S ( with a Ryzen 5 3600 )

 

Cyberpunk, Was 73c .. Now 60c
CS GO - Was 66c.. Now 55c
Idle After gaming - Was 40c... now 33c
Idle before gaming - Was 35c... now 29c

thats all fine and dandy, but you don't get any performance gains, so it doesn't matter that your cpu cooler is moving heat from the cpu to to your room quicker.

As far as your CPU is concerned, 65 is basically luke warm.  Max operating temp for Ryzen is 95.  

Idle temps just don't matter.  

Are you on the stock cooler?  Stock coolers are pretty bad, but usually keep you perfectly safe. 

I have a cheap AIO because I like the look, mostly.
