cpu runs too hot at idle

[ronko ren]

just finished building my first gaming rig, and i think i have a problem with temperatures.

im running 3 exhaust fans on top and 3 intake on bottom (unifans) on 1350 rpm, as well as 2 exhaust on my radiator running on pwm.

while downloading cyberpunk 2077 earlier today, i noticed my cpu temp rose to 55-58C on 6% load.

even without downloading, on regular 1-3% load my CPU runs at about 40-45C with the rad fans running at about 800 rpm.

im really afraid to try and run games in this state.

 

i have 2 suspicions i would like you to confirm or rebute:

1. i didnt put enough thermal paste, or it got smeared too much when trying to add the pump on the cpu.

2. the pump isnt working. i hear no sound from the pump itself so im not sure if its even moves liquid in the tubes.

 

also my gpu runs a little hot at about 45C at 10% load.

temps are 100% normal and expected. The way AMD has tuned Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series is to be AMP'd to the max at idle ready to start a 100 yard dash, but when it starts.. it realizes its running a marathon and dials everything back to where it should be.

Those are perfectly fine idle temps. Also, you should never be afraid to stress a system, even if you're not 100% confident in the cooling. Modern computers are smart enough to shut down before they get too hot to damage themselves.

Probably OK,

What are the temps under full load?

Did you try turning up the pump speed?

thing is, i saw a fan configuration guide by christopher flannigan, where he got CPU temp 38C in idle, and GPU temp 26C. and i saw a reddit post showing that CPU temps above 50C at idle are a disaster. thats why im a little hesitant to accept it so quickly.. but ill try running cyberpunk and see what happens.

havent tried full load after seeing what happened just from downloading

Every CPU has a different heat output,so it varies from CPU to CPU,and depends on the cooler you use as well.

With the CPU you have and the cooler you have,it's impossible without a compromise (Noise for example,lots of noise)

It depends on the temperatures under full load,as long as the idle temperatures are consistent,there is no reason.

65C idle temps and lower is  OK.

I would set the pump to 12V non-PWM mode or if you use a fan profile, to 100 % all the time. If you have the pump set like the fan speed or on auto, you will loose the advantage of the larger radiator because water flow inside will be severely reduced.

how do i do that?
better yet, how do i even know what my pump speed is?

[Heliian]

Just go into your bios and look at the pump controls. 

 

There is a bios info manual here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/PRIME-X570-PRO/HelpDesk_Manual/

 

You should be able to speed it up from there, note the mode settings and configure to your AIO.
