High CPU temperature? Ryzen 7 7800X3D

[Zem1akk]

Hi guys

Yesterday I've built my new Pc. Today I have been testing it for a while and wanted to keep it running all night(to download few games while I sleep).

Before I thought I would go to sleep I turned all my fans on silent preset (4 fans around 500RPMs and CPU water Cooler-NZXT Kraken 280(Pump was 1800rpm and fans 550+-)) Then I checked temperatures and noticed that my CPU was on 50-65C; GPU on 45-50C; and Liquid around 30-35C. Aren't these temperatures too high for just idling and downloading steam game in the background?

We literally know nothing else besides what you told us. No mention of case, no mention of ambient temperature. 

 

It might be a bit warm? X3D is pretty easy to cool. But CPU is a bit busy, ambient is doing its thing, quiet systems are usually the warmest.

The case is the NZXT H9 Flow; the 4 fans I was talking about are prebuilt in the case(some NXZT fans). My room temperature is around 25C and wasn't more then 30C today.

AM5 chips tends to idle around 45C, and jump +10 to +20C on any load, with 3D chips getting up to 20C hotter, so your temps seem ok with a pump at half speed and slow spinning fans...

Thank you so much for the reply, I wasn't really able to find any info on what my temps should be. 

Do you know what Liquid temp I should aim for when idle-ing as well?

In the 30s is fine with 20-25C ambient

I'd put the pump at a constant faster speed, up to when you find it makes an annoying noise if it happens, never had much issues with pump at 90%+ personally

Okay, thank you so much . Have a nice day!

Idling and downloading steam games are two completely different things. Idle usage must be verified by actually looking at usage, not just assuming because you're not actively doing anything, the CPU isn't. Steam downloading can hammer a CPU if your internet speed is fast enough. 

 

Additionally, you should never have to adjust fan speed from activity to activity, doubly so with a water cooler. A low, static fan speed for the AIO fans should be more than sufficient for 95% of tasks and be dead silent. 

 

I can't hear my air cooled 7800x3D unless I do something that induces a full multicore load which for me is rare. Video export/encode or a game doing a shader compilation for the first time, for example. Then its just a low hum. 

 

(I feel like I've posted this exact thing in 3 different threads about the same CPU in the last few hours lol)

Steam uses compression, its VERY hard on the CPU, especially if you have fast broadband.

 

Downloading from Steam heats up my 7800X3D more than any game I've played since owning it, since I have Gigabit fibre.  Its extremely common for the CPU to actually be the bottleneck for download speeds rather than your broadband.
