Stock Ryzen 5 3600 that runs hot

[FeralSparky]

So since day one with a bone stock 3600 I had to replace the stock cooler due to thermal throttling. It was hitting over 90c regularly.

 

Friend told me to try a Hyper 212. And while the clocks did go higher with prime95 it still hits 89c.

 

So I decided to go to the very top of the stack for air cooling. A Noctua NH-D15.... and with prime95 it sits at 80c. Shouldnt this beast of a cooler be able to handle this thing better? My Room temp is 21c.

 

Bought a new case for it as well. A Lian Li Lancool II Mesh.

The Hyper 212 is actually a good cooler to cool the stock 3600, I wonder why even a d15 is not able to cool it. Have you tried calling up AMD or the retailer you brought it from? Pretty sure this is not right CPU behaviour

What thermal paste u using?

 

What case r u using?  People forget there's more to cooling a cpu in a case than just the CPU Cooler.

True, but OP says he's using the LianLi Lancool Mesh. the one with the 2 200mm fans in front

Also doesn't the Noctua cooler come wth thermal paste pre-applied anyways?

[Jimkirk363]

Preapplied Paste isn't always the best option.

True, but it still shouldn't make the CPU go as high as it is

Sometimes it isn't, but the tube of NT-H1 thermal paste that comes with the NH-D15 is pretty good.

Not pre-applied, just comes in a little 3.5G tube on the side.

Oh alright, thanks for letting me know

I am using their Noctua NT-H1 paste included in the box. And it has two 120mm fans infront not 200mm

You can see the CPU is pinned at 88 W PPT. These chips have a soldered IHS. This is not AMD's fault.

 

OP, how exactly are you applying thermal paste? What motherboard are you using? What is the power deviation as reported by HWiNFO? How are you mounting the cooler?

Pea siezed bean. Gets 100% coverage... installed the cpu cooler properly? There's only 1 way to install it. Motherboard as an AORUS B450 Pro Wifi.

Stock tube that came with the cooler

Have you done a bios and chipset driver update?

What's your cpu voltage?

Latest Bios. CPU voltage is around 1.34v

[narrdarr]

Update Chipset driver and setting power plan for amd balance will help a little. Also setting voltage to 1.3 will drop temps father.

This shows the motherboard is messing with the power tracking, but not to a ridiculous degree, and should still be within the D15's capability to keep colder. It's likely sitting ~ 100 W at most. P95 Small FFT's is the worst case for thermals.

 

Noctua also mentions this: https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15/faq#226

Which does correlate with my experience with Zen 2.

Put the info from my 3600 on prime95 for comparison. I was thinking, did you tighten the heatsink all the way down? Also, I had success in bringing down my temperatures with using the OC mode on ryzen master and setting the voltage to 1.2v and 4.2ghz, which actually brings the temperatures down and gives me higher clocks. 

EDIT: Using hyper 212 with a noctua nf-a12x25.

Cooler is properly installed and thermal compound has 100% coverage.
