Ryzen 5800x High CPU Idle Temp + Fan Speed

[ehawkins2232]

I've been running my 5800X for about six months now, and I've noticed that it hasn't been as cool and quiet as it should be. During startup and while playing games, the CPU fans really ramps up, even when the utilization is 20-30%. Even though the 5800x is a 95W chip, I feel that the cooler I have shouldn't be running at 1500rpm at low utilization.

 

Here are the specs of my machine:

CPU: Ryzen 5800x

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black

Mobo: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC

GPU: EVGA FTW3 3060ti

RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz DDR4

PSU: Be Quiet Straight Power 11 850W Platinum

Storage: WD SN750 1TB m.2 SSD

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full ATX:

Fans: 2x 120mm (Front), 1x 120mm (Rear)

Windows: Latest Update of Windows 10

(All hardware running at stock speeds)

 

Here is a screenshot of HWMonitor on startup with no apps running  (note the Power Reporting Deviation, might be relevant)

 

I'm not sure what BIOS version I'm running right now, but I would be willing to update if an outdated version may be causing the issue.

 

I repasted the CPU a month ago but this did not remedy the issue (used included Noctua paste which is supposed to pair well with the cooler). I heard that with the underlying chiplet architecture of Zen you have to make sure the thermal paste covers the entire IHS, but the new paste didn't seem to make a difference.

 

Any suggestions or help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I had a similar issue with my 5800x too.

I changed the fan curve in the bios, now at start up temps are approx 50-54 then it sits at 40 C while idling. Didn't repaste yet

While gaming it sits at 60-70 (days gone, metro exodus, Horizon Zero dawn)

I have a 3800X (they both have 105W TDP) and I have exactly the same issue with a bit lower max idle temps (240mm AIO). I'm also having them like 54 degrees and I really couldn't find any solutions to this problem. I just made my curve lower until 60 degrees so PC won't be loud.
