CPU temps fluctuating... Help, I think?

[_quarterthor]

So I recently installed a Hyper Evo 212 RGB to my Ryzen 5 3600 and the baseline idle temps as well as the temperature when I'm using it are down, but my idle temps are fluctuating from about 30c up to 45c. Is this normal? I have a RX 580 GPU (I want to upgrade it, but we all know the problem with that now) and 6 Corsair 120mm fans creating a neutral zone inside my PC. So, are my fluctuating temperatures normal? Should I worry? Thanks, guys!

Normal Temps.

Probably just the fan curve. You might want to adjust it just so the fans don't have to constantly ramp up and down, but the temps themselves are nothing to worry about.

I have my fans set at 100 while I was testing the temps so the fan curve wasn't a variable, for the most part at idle they will go from about 33c to about 40c. Though they will dip and raise a few more degrees from time to time. I just didn't know if fluctuation was normal or if I should worry about it.

My R7 5800x dose the same on a 360mm AIO but in games it runs in the 60s and benches in the 70s.

My Intel CPUs have a more constant idle but they and the R7 run cool when it counts.

So it is just a AMD thing where they fluctuate while idling? In game it doesn't really get above the 60's, so I guess when it counts it's keeping it cool as well.

No, its computer thing. Temps are reaction to electricity driven through silicon. Cooler/fans will spin up to move produced heat away. More load, more heat, higher fan speeds. Also idle is not truly idle. You will always have background processes.

 

With Ryzen, this is tad more visible than what it used to be, thanks to PBO constantly adjusting settings. But its still how computers normally operate.

Thanks so much! That's what I am starting to gather, that the temps are fine and it is just how PCs operate and that it is just a little more noticeable with my Ryzen.
