Ryzen 7600 (non-x) runs too hot and seems to crash system and applications

[GiganticBiceps69]

Hi! I recently bought a 7600 non-x cpu and run it with the standard cooler, but it seems to run too hot (105°), causing crashes. I can't seem to find anything online on this subject. Do you guys know if this is a known issue or something on my end?

did you apply any thermal paste before putting on the cooler?

Seems like you need to do some more heavy lifting in terms of cooling performance. Either you didnt take of the plastic cover on the standard cooler, the mounting pressure is not there, or something else like the fan isnt plugged in. The chip shouldnt be getting anywhere close to 85c let alone 105c.

 

Could always get a better cooler though.

Good question. Didn't apply any myself, just the paste that was already there. Could try to apply some new paste.

Well... Unfortunately we checken for stickers, none. We checked if the cooler was mounted correctly, it was. The fan is plugged in, all fans in the tower are working and even without sidepanel the cpu runs at the same temperatures...

do that and see if its the same

Wraith cooler has a high-Low toggle in the side you have to change that to get the maximum RPM of that fan (it will be noicy and it is hardware switch, You might be able to tune fan curves for lower noice)

Which motherboard? Does it have the latest bios?

Latest chipset drivers and using Ryzen balanced power plan?

You don’t need to do that for Zen 3 and up.

Have you made sure that your motherboard isn't set to use PBO and that the thermal limit is set to 95C? If you're allowing the chip to run unchained with no power limits and raised thermal limits, the stock cooler won't be able to handle it.

Yeah, the AMD stock cooler is "good enough" for the stock 65 watt power schedule with eco mode and good case air flow.

However, it is a free cooler that came with the CPU right?

 

Over the years I had a box with about dozen of the AMD stock coolers that I kept wanting to see if I could find a place to recycle them.

 

There are dozens of air coolers from 50-100 dollars that will do MUCH MUCH better job of cooling, and be MUCH MUCH more silent.

Pick one and all your troubles with be gone.

You shouldn't need to spend $50+ to cool a 7600. A $20 tower cooler can do it just fine as long as you don't blow out the efficiency by running it with no power limits.

You are correct. 

But my time has value. If I am going to open a case, remove and re-TIM a cooler it is going to achieve a night and day difference.

You feel the pain of spending the $50 once but enjoy the BLISS of a quite fan for the next 5 years.

 

Also, the average person posting here for help is not going to read the reviews on every 20-50 air cooler to filter out the chaff from the wheat.

 

Here are models that I KNOW will make a 100% solution to both temps and noise. There are many others indeed. But these are no fail solution.

Someone making $7.25 an hour that has managed to just scrape together the money to build a new PC could easily feel a lot of pain by spending $50+ on a new CPU cooler. Such a person is the sort of person who is going to try to use the box cooler. You should not apply your own standards universally - you should try to judge each person's circumstances and give advice accordingly.

 

The OP has not said what their budget is like for fixing this solution - there might be no available budget for it at all, or they might be willing to drop $300 on a fancy 420mm AIO. We don't know.

[mdk777]

Again, I am going to give the advice from my experience.

I have tried to go cheap many many times.

The cost of the DO OVER makes the initial decision to save $25 seem very penny wise and pound foolish.

 

So, yes I have tried to use the stock coolers many times. Every time I encountered the dissatisfaction of having a solution that if pushed sounded like a fighter jet taking off.

So, having tried every CPU from the Intel 386 to my current AMD 5800x, my advice remains the same.

Don't use the stock cooler. 

Spend the money for a quality solution and you will not regret it.

If you can't come up with $25 ....you should be spending your time working over-time and not building a computer.

IF you NEED a computer, there are less expensive options than building your own.

 

That is the hard reality of life.
