Go to solution Solved by Darkslyr,

HWinfo displayed a max CPU temprature of 102,5°C! I have a Ryzen 5 3600xt and a stock cooler on top of it with the pre-applied thermal paste. My case is a be quiet pure base 500 which came with 2 pre-installed fans.

Any thing I can do to lower the temperature? I dont want my cpu to die.

A few things:
Is the CPU under load?

Are the fans ramping up?

Have you checked the connectors?

What were you doing? What is your idle temperature? The TjMax of the 3600xt is 95c iirc, so I'm not really sure how HWinfo displayed 102.5c

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Try removing the side panel, if the temps are fine, then you need more fans, as there isn't enough airflow in the case. If it is still very high, maybe try new thermal paste, or a different cooler. Also what are the temps when not doing anything?

Are you sure you were reading the temperatures correctly?? You didn't mix up Tj max with the actual temperatures? 

 

What were you doing on the computer at the time you saw this temperature reading? Was it under a load at all? Do you have adequate airflow in your case? Check by removing the side panel and see if temperatures improve. Are you overclocking at all?? What are the VCORE voltages like? Ryzen tends to pump extra voltage at idle which results in higher temperatures. Did you recently just put the build together and saw these temperatures?? Can be bad mounting of the CPU cooler.

I have never seen more than 50% cpu usage while gaming what I do mostly on my pc.

I switched in bios the fan speed to 100% on all fans because I was hoping to reduce the temp so I dont know.

All 3 fans are spinning.

 

I was looking at the CPU (Tctl/Tdie) temps but the other cpu temps ar just as high as the CPU (Tctl/Tdie).

As soon as I start cinebench r20 within ~10 seconds the temps rise above 100°C and as soon as I stopp the benchmark it falls down to 40-55°C as long the pc is completely idle, but it falls slower down than temps rise up. When the side pannel is open the temp falls down a little bit quicker that with a closed side pannel. I'd have to order thermal paste before I could try with new one on the cpu because I dont have any thermal paste at home.

 

Is CPU Package Power in HWinfo the total Watt consumption of my cpu? The max CPU Package Power is 125W.

Judging by the values I think the thermal solution is not good, all fans at 100% and yet is still too high might indicate either the thermal solution or something is wrong with the CPU or its sensors.

Also idk if the stock cooler would be enough, as the cooler which comes with the 3600 gets to about 90°C. But better start with the cheaper and easier things, like replacing the thermal paste

Under load is capable, unless you want to feel sure that it is always cooled you don't need to swap coolers

I swapped the stock cooler with an after market cooler with 190W TDP and under load the cpu now has a max temp of 83°C. And I used MX-4 Thermal paste. Looks like a good choise so far.
