Ryzen 3800XT, Cooler Master MA612, 60°C+ idle

Hey guys,

 

I just built a PC out of used parts for a colleague and noticed the CPU is running quite hot. The BIOS aswell as HWinfo are reporting 60°C+ at idle.

I've noticed that the CPU cooler doesn't really get all warm, but it seems to be mounted properly. It doesn't move and I've also checked that I didn't forget any plastic covers or the cooler.

 

Are Ryzen XT models generally quite a bit hotter than their X counterparts? Or could this just be another example of Cooler Master building crappy coolers?

From a quick read online it seems like 3800XT is a hotter Ryzen yet should still be easy to keep it around 60C on full load. Apart from mounting gone wrong, have you checked the cooler itself. Not sure which big brand it was a year or two ago but one brand had their tower coolers crack inside the pipes which then failed to spread out heat to the rest of the fins further up.

 

Try maybe a different cooler?

They do run hotter but the ma612 also has some issues with mounting pressures

Thanks guys. We ordered a Dark Rock 4. If that won't fix it then I don't know what will 😛
