Need Help on New CPU Installation and Testing (AMD Ryzen)

Hello everyone, good day!

 

I want to ask regarding the testing and installation for new CPU.

Details:

Currently I'm using B450 Tomahawk Max and just upgraded from Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 5 5600. I'm using an Air Cooler (Deep Cool Gammaxx GTE V2). I've used new thermal paste and boot the PC into Windows 10 and it seems to run just fine. But I'm concerned about the new CPU installation (if I did it correctly or if there is any errors on installation) and I'm also afraid if I over-tightened the screws on the air cooler. Is there any ways to know if the CPU and air cooler installation is correct and have no issue? What softwares or other tips that I can use to check new CPU performance?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

cinebench r23 is good for benchmarking, ryzen master for checking temps and wattage and loads and such

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Note: My advice is amateur help/beginner troubleshooting, someone else can probably troubleshoot way better than me.

- I do have some experience, and I can use google pretty well. - Feel free to quote me I may respond soon.

Hello, thank you for the answer! I see, is there any optimal setting for Ryzen 5 5600? Or the apps will tell us if there's something wrong with CPU? If the CPU can be read in system information and other programs (AMD Adrenalin, Ryzen Master, etc.) is it safe to assume that the installation process is successful?

Ryzen Master and HWinfo.

Hello and thank you for the answer! I see, are there any specific metrics that we need to look for in the apps (e.g. core temp)? I tried using HWInfo and it seems to run fine with CPU temp <70C under full load. But the temp for each core is different (+- 3-5C difference). I heard that uneven CPU/Cooler Installation can cause temp difference for cores.

If you did something wrong, you'd have issues. If everything works - you've done it alright.

If cooler is inadquately mounted causing higher core temp on some cores then it will be more than 3-5°. Having some difference in core temp is normal. Here are mine for reference. Column to the left is temps at the time of screenshot (at pretty much idle). As you can see I have a delta of around 6°C. So yeah. Your temps are fine.
