CPU running hot after upgrades

[AidanBoy132]

Hey everyone, I just upgraded my CPU, Motherboard, and Ram. The specs are a ryzen 5 3600, Asrock b450m steel legend, and XPG Dual Channel 16gb ddr4 ram. And my pc booted up fine after the upgrade, but as soon as I stressed it at all, the temperatures would get really high, like I was in cinebench and my cpu went from 50 degrees, to 88 within 30 seconds. What do I need to do to fix this? my computer sounds very quiet after the upgrades and the fans don’t seem to be spinning very fast. Thanks,

What's your CPU Cooler? 

And what does your fan curve on it look like?

[SavageNeo]

what cooler do you have?

also when swapped board did you reapply thermalpaste or use the old one? Try to reaaply thermalpaste and remount the cooler

I have the cooler that game in the box with the ryzen, I think it’s called the Wraith Cooler it has pre applied thermal paste

Yeah. That cooler sucks. These temps are exactly what you should expect. Get a good single tower cooler. Now, you're not thermal throttling or anything (though you still could under then right conditions), but if you want it to run cooler, you're going to have to get a different cooler. It's already doing the best it can.

Thanks, but is there a risk if I continue to use this for the next little while before I get one?

No. There's no real risk either way. The worst case scenario is that you thermal throttle, but that's the CPU protecting itself from overheating. You lose performance, but the CPU will be fine. Definitely don't do anything like OC or remove power or thermal limits until you get a better cooler, though.

Ok, thank you

One more question, is it ok for vr? With the included cooler?

The pre-applied paste is only useable once.
After you've used it and then remove the cooler, you need to reapply more paste, or TIM (Thermal Interface Material) as it's referred to.

If you just stuck it back on without reapplying more TIM, that's probrably the problem.
BTW you have to clean the cooler and CPU of any old TIM each and everytime you remove the cooler, just how it is.

To be clear - This is done each and everytime you remove a cooler from a chip, regardless of what cooler, chip or even TIM you've used.

Yes, I just installed it out of the box the other night and haven’t removed it.

That's good.
You said you was running Cinebench, TBH those kind of temps doing such a run with Ryzen are normal, Cinebench uses the CPU to render the image so it's working hard during the run.

You're OK, no real need to worry about it but I would suggest a better cooler for it whenever you are ready.
Just don't forget to get and use new TIM when you do.
