Ryzen 5 2600 running hot?

I have been running my Ryzen 5 2600 for over 2 years with a Hyper 212 evo. The temps at idle were normally around the 28*c mark and gaming or rendering temps would stay around the mid to high 50’s max. This past week the fan on my hyper 212 started making noise so I swapped the cooler for the stock cooler that the 2600 came with (I didn’t have another fan to replace the faulty one on hand). Now my idle temps sit around the 40*c range at idle with steam shut down and 50*c when steam is running in the background. I haven’t tried gaming or video editing yet because I want to make sure that this is just because of the weaker cooler and not an issue with my cpu or other hardware. I’ve never had to use a stock cooler with this cpu before so for all I know this could be completely normal. And that is my question. Is it normal?

That is normal for stock coolers.

Ok. That’s good to know. Looks like I’ll need to buy something new sooner rather than later.

It's perfectly fine, just because it runs hotter than you'd want, does not mean that it is unsafe or will cost you performance.

2600 with stock cooler will do just fine, no performance loss or anything, if I were you, I'd keep the stock cooler.

Unless you could not stomach the noise that it makes.
