Sudden Temperature Spikes

[Gsayx13]

Hey,

 

I am having sudden Temperature Spikes while playing 4k YouTube videos, idle viewing it is 36-37 degree but sudden spikes to 55-58 degrees. Is this normal with air cooling ?

 

Cooler: Gammaxt 400xt

 

Will upgrading to a liquid cooler improve temps and reduce spikes?

what CPU is it

This is quite normal as playing videos at 4k will put alot of stress on your cpu, 58 degrees (Celsius) is well within safe limits so I wouldn't worry

I know amd uses 7nm so its very compact. I went from a 2700x to a 3600 and I noticed a lot of temp spikes and turns out thats normal. What I did to help remedy it was to set an offset on the voltage since mine was push 1.38 V on the performace tab in Ryzen master. I then ran into a good guide to overclock on ryzen master at 4.3 GHZ and just set the max voltage to 1.2 and that lowered my temps from around 43 idle watching a video to 38 degrees. Might be a good idea

The behavior you're describing is perfectly normal for Ryzen 5000 series. It isn't about air cooling. It's about the way the CPU works. Ryzen will use higher voltages when boosting, and if the load shifts for whatever reason, even if it's as simple as Windows is running an update, then if the CPU boosts in response, you'll see a sudden spike in temperature.
