CPU overheating after adding case fans

[HighFiv3]

I have my PC for a month now and it was with only one back fan from thermaltake, the case I have is thermaltake h200 and my ryzen 5600x was running around 60-70 degrees when gaming, even less when idle, now I installed 5 gamdias m2 fans on my case and the CPU is constantly hitting 95 degrees, sometimes even when idle, I'm new into the whole intake, outtake thing, but I tried to install the fans in many different ways and somehow that doesn't change things at all. Hopefully somebody here will have a solution.

Your fan placement looks fine to me. Have you adjusted the fan curve for a specific max temperature. I would set them to full rpm once temps exceed 55 or 60C. Your old temps by the way were actually fine for the stock cooler. I notice ryzen master reports you have AUTO OC enabled. I would disable that in bios as it will detect what headroom you have and try to push more voltage and mhz, resulting in higher temperatures overall.

Welcome to the forums!!!

 

Perhaps the CPU cooler is not providing enough tension and causing improper contact (a void) and causing higher CPU temps. Reattach the cooler and see if that helps.

General rule of thumb is:

 

Intake at the front and bottom.

Exhaust at the top and back.

If you want to reduce CPU temps it's better to get an outright better cooler than to add more fans. The top fans likely overpower the CPU fan and take the air away befor the CPU cooler can use it. I'd say invest the 30 or so bucks and get an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports.

 

But first i'd uplug 1 fan after the other to find out which one makes your temps go higher.

did something get unplugged like your cpu fan? did you remove the cpu fan and not mount it correctly? I feel case fans should have very little impact on this unless its not moving air at all

So basically your PC is a jet engine as soon as you start chrome? I'd not do that...

Depends on the fans, mine are perfectly fine at full speed. Noticeable but not far from annoying and I barely break 57 C while gaming. Not like the old AMD HD2900 blower fans I used to have in Crossfire, those sounded like a 737 taking off.

I'd need to check but I don't think Chrome uses more that ~5% cpu and doesn't heat up anything much therfore, I however agree that full tilt fans barely should be needed if ever... even while gaming mine are at around 70% and temps are fine - generally around 60-65C...

I think this is the only reasonable explanation so far, unless OP tinkered with the cpu cooler or fan settings otherwise...

Disabled auto OC, I don't think that made much difference

I'm thinking of getting one, but I'd like one that'd go well with my RGB/Cyberpunkish design I'm going for. I'll probably start removing fans 1 by 1 and see what's the problem

I left a fan only in the place where my previous thermaltake one was to check if it would be the same, only with 1 case fan where it was before the cpu is still overheating, I think it isn't about wrong installation of the fans, maybe it got something to do with the controller that I install the fans to through sata?

you are sure the cooler is secure and that there is no gap between it and the cpu?

Yes, I am. As i said before putting in the gamdias fans the temps were great. I went in advanced mode in ryzen master and things don't look great... https://imgur.com/a/rqp4mMV

I know this thread is several months old, but just curious if OP has solved the issue with high temps after new fans install. I recently purchased a custom prebuilt and have been tinkering around and upgrading it myself. It came with 10 Gamdias 120mm RGB fans all connected to a controller for RGB with remote control. I noticed none of the fans are connected to any mobo headers and the speed and rgb only controlled via the remote (seems there are 4 speed settings.) I wonder if OP's old thermaltake fan was connected to mobo header and ramping based on CPU temp or was it set to a single speed? the Gamidas may be causing high CPU temp since they do not ramp/follow any fan speed curves and at the lowest speed setting (at least on mine) have basically no airflow. I have to turn it up to medium or high speeds to see any cooling benefit. That being said, I'm looking for alternative case fan options that would connect to mobo header to have automated fan curves, just like the CPU fan.
