CPU high idle

[xtreme1738]

Hello

 

I recently started noticing my CPU (Ryzen 5 3600x) is idling around 46-55°C and running some games at around 60-70°C even if they arent CPU-intensive im using Noctua NT-H2 thermal paste and a DeepCool Gammaxx L240 AIO with the stock fans is this a normal temp range? it seems a bit high to me

capping at 70c is perfectly fine.

 

Idle temps are too variable to be too useful.  Your temps are perfectly fine.  

 

If you want real temps:  
Run Cinebench R23, and track temps and clocks in HWInfo64

I am running on Arch Linux do you know if Cinebench will run under Linux? or HWInfo64?

you can use Prime95 in linux, as for CPU Monitoring? 

No idea.
