I'm looking for ways to lower my cpu  Temps. I'm at 45-55C during idle. I rarely exceed 75C under load. I've played around cpu in bios. I started out stock, overclocked at 4.7ghz all core, PBO, now I'm back at stock at 1.45V. Temperatures rarely changed. I cleaned my computer, added more fans, upgraded cooler, changed cases, reapplied thermal paste and nothing is working. If anything my temperatures have risen.

Build:

-5800X

-Noctua NH-D15

-Rog Strix 5600 XT

-(2x16) corsair dominator 3600 cl14

-Meshify Fractal 2 XL

-3 Noctua 3000rpm 140 front intake

-2 fractal 140mm and 1 noctua 3000rpm 140mm directly over the cpu intake

-1 fractal 140mm exhaust back

-2 120mm bottom intake

-seasonic platinum 850w

 

Is it my fan configuration? Is the thermal mass of a bigger cooler retaining more heat?

So in the past (yr ago) I had problems with tempture reporting from the CPU due to the pin having some sort of residue at the bottom. After The cpu was cleaned with 99.98% rummbing alcohol and ensure the residue was gone it startered reporting properly, just a thought.

 

I also have some other recommendations as well like getting a luiqud cooler my cpu (Ryzen 1700) OC to 3.7 GHZ runs at 35c at idle.

You may want to ensure ur fan connections are clean using rummbing alcohol just incase or ensuring ur CPU has great coverage interms of Thermal Paste.

Hope this was helpful

I know its nice to have low temps but why do you want lower? You arent thermal throttling and you have your clock speeds where you want it. The 5800x is a hot cpu anyway. Also youre running it super high on your clockspeed. Thats why its getting so hot. There isnt a cooler or case in the world that can completely combat that.

 

One thing you could try if you havent: Tune your intake fans to run faster than your exhaust. You want positive case pressure. From my experience, I was able to get my temps down more than 10 degrees by just tuning my case fans to have positive pressure.
