Flashed Bios idle temps dropped 12C

I flashed my bios this morning and made zero updates to the bios other than to ensure virutualization was enabled and that my ram is running at 3600.

 

Previously my Ryzen 3600 with stock cooler had idle temps around 60C now it's 47-48C.

 

No other changes. 

 

Is this normal? Was planning on getting Cooler Master 212 EVO coolor but now think I may stick with stock until the 5600x shortage is gone.

I mean 60c isn't exactly good for idle so flashing the BIOS probably just fixed that problem. But definitely upgrade your cooler though.

To put this in perspective to show you how hot your CPU is.. If I run my CPU at 4400, and fire up some linpack extreme, My load temperature is 15c higher then your idle temperature. Linpack Extreme is pretty hardcore.. Run it for 30 seconds and you will see what we are on about 👍

 

Maybe look into some more case fans, or maybe a new case, or both.. and then a cooler lol. But not a 212. Only because I despise them. Or if you don't care.. just let it ride..

You dont need to upgrade your cooler to reduce your temperatures, especially idle temperatures. OP, if I were to guess either fan profiles are changed or voltage curve is, either way I really wouldnt worry about idle temperatures, particularly if you are running your case with minimal fans.

I've got 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan. I'd still like to see lower temps

3 intake and 1 exhaust fan - thought this should be fine. Case is a Corsair 400d Airflow.

Why the hate for the 212?

Start by changing your fan profile if you can. I honestly think your current 40s idle temperatures are just fine.

Nothing wrong with a 212, especially for mid range cpus like the 3600

60c isn't right for a 3600.

 

When I was stock it was about 36c - 39c

 

With the noctua it's about 33c to 35c

 

Even bigger difference is under load
