HIGH CPU TEMPS

[Albo93]

I've built a pc with the following components :

1. Asus rog strix b550
2. Ryzen 7 3800x
3. 16gb (8x2) corsair Vengeance ram
4. Icue 4000x case
5. Stock AMD rgb cooler

For some reason my idle temperature is high, when I switch it off for a period of time it starts at 35°c (bios) when I get to home screen and go to corsairs icue dashboard it between 45°c - 60°c. 

Would you would guys recommend doing if its not normal?. I've heard the stock cpu coolers for AMD are bad. I was planning on getting a nactua cooler anyway and reapplying the paste again. Would that sort this out or should I be doing something else ?

How are you measuring the temps?

Asus bios and once booted corsair icue application has a dashboard which measures the temps. Would they be wrong ?

I don't honestly know, maybe?

I would try to measure with Ryzen Master just to check that they are correct.

The reported temperatures in BIOS are less likely to be inaccurate vs Corsair iCUE. Have you checked with HWinfo64?? I'd check between Ryzen Master and HWinfo64 to see if both are reporting the same temperatures, then they shouldn't be wrong. Don't use HWMonitor as it's known to report incorrect temperatures readings from the sensors and/or wrong sensors. 

 

Your idle temp of (if correct from iCUE) 45-60^oC is okay for a stock cooler, but it matters more under load if the temperatures are getting too high.

Just download, idle is still better 42°c and 54°c but the jumps in temps are very high, meaning it'll jump from 43 to 55, then back down to 47 etc

So I should get a better cooler and that should drop correct?. I've seen it jump to 65 70 when on a little bit of load so getting a better cooler should be a priority then?

It can be jumping in temperature whenever you open a new application or window and the CPU is doing short turbo boost clocks and going back down, which results in the temp spikes. But those are not very high temperature spikes, unless its going up into the 75-95^oC range.

Those temperatures are not that bad right now, depending on what frequency your 3800X is running at. If you want more performance and run cooler, definitely make your next upgrade to this PC with a better cooler.
