5900x running hot

[Gongs]

I recently found out my cpu was running uncomfortable hot under light load and I’m trying to figure out how to lower my temps I tried a few thing suggested to me by some users on Reddit I’m gonna leave link here    To a reddit post which details more of the issue is and some of the thing I’ve tried fixing but ultimately ended up not making difference any help would be much appreciated

turn on ECO mode or get a better cooler??

It could honestly be down to the airflow in your case and the paste application and cleaning job on your cooler. I have 5900X with 2 Arctic P14's on an EVGA CLC 280 and I can keep temps reasonable (below 80C) with a 4.7GHz all-core overclock running cinebench. A 240mm is definitely going to suffer more but not that much more than a 280mm, especially since you have the LiquidFreezer II which is the best cooler on the market. Try running your system with the radiator hanging out of your system, with full access to fresh air, and fans at max speed, then do benchmarks. See what your theoretical best-case scenario is and you'll start to be able to diagnose from there.

they have a LiquidFreezer II, albeit a 240mm, but still, a god-tier cooler.

yeah something else is wrong then. I am using a 240mm be quiet AIO and have great temps never above 80C on cinebench just running stock though. (5900x)

Still link does not work for me.. idk why

 

 

Anyways, I have Liquid Freezer II 360mm on a 3900X and my CPU goes as high as 85*C with this cooler. My CPU is kinda the lowest of the lowest bins because it can't OC at all, basically it needs 1.3V to run at 4.1GHz which is terrible. I'm just using a -0.05V negative offset to not push it all the way to 1.5V on stock which results in a huge temp spikes to avoid fans ramping up quickly up and down.

Unfortunately, this seems a normal behavior for Ryzen, not much you can really do about it besides undervolting the CPU.

IDK what temps you're getting but if you're under 90*C it's perfectly fine.

 

I see no more than 65*C to 70*C when playing games on mine, I only ever see it go well above 80*C when I am using a ton of load with AVX2, otherwise it stays almost always at around 70*C to 75*C.

 

Yes, Cinebench is using AVX2 so it will drive the temps up quite a bit.

 

Also there seems to be a limit to how fast you can decipate the head from the CPU as the heat is usually concentrated in small spots so you're limited by the small surface area for cooling. Going from 50% fan speed to 100% fan speed during full AVX2 load barely makes any difference with my cooler.
