Ryzen 5 1600AF cooling

[Tronbon]

I am running Ryzen 5 1600AF with stock cooler (wraith stealth). When the cpu is under full load it reaches 80-85 degrees. I have never used before a stock amd cooler, so I do not know, whether these temperatures are normal for it, but they certainly seem high to me considering tdp of the chip.(Also my airflow in the case is not the best). My question is, should I replace thermal paste or there is no point doing it? (now there is thermal paste that was pre applied from factory).If somebody does have experience, suggestions would be appreciated.

Temp is normal, the cpu cooler is small.

If you can find a wraith Prism for cheap, it'll do the job very well at low cost + RGB

I also have a ryzen 5 1600 AF (its super hard to find them lol) and i ran it with the stock cooler in a small Core 1000 case, and while i dont think i ever reached 85c it most certainly reached temps towards 80c under heavy loads. I upgraded my cooler to a Arctic Freezer 34 Esport and it fixed everything. Running a custom fan curve at like 700rpm MAX it reaches around 60-70c (OC to 3.9Ghz at 1.35v).

Now i dont think youll need a big ass cooler as me, but a simple wraith prism should be enough!

I suggest the Prism because there are some times a buddy you know online or local may have one sitting around after a cooler upgrade you might be able to pinch for free.

From any testing I had done, the Prism on my lid-less 2700X (re-lidded) passed IBT testing at 4.3ghz all threads with an 18c degree ambient on the work bench.

You can try wraith prism since it was cheap and sometimes free if you know people that have them sitting around do nothing...

Assuming you still have this part of the motherboard socket (looks image below)

I have used the Wraith Prism on my 1st gen 1600 with a healthy OC (3.9ghz, 1.38v) and it worked fine even with stress testing. Looks cool too.

Yeah, I surprisingly didn't lose them (yet)
