switched to 4060 TI, experiencing high CPU temps

LSGio

so here's the deal

my rig was :

5600X + Hyper 212 Black Edition cooler
6600XT Gigabyte OC
32GB RAM
Antec P9 case

Corsair RM750x PSU

I had some problems with my old GPU , it had a constant white LED near the PCIe connector so I upgraded to the 4060 Ti 

my new rig is : 


 

5600X + Hyper 212 Black Edition cooler
4060 Ti Founders Edition
32GB RAM
Antec P9 case 

Corsair RM750x PSU

I'm experiencing high temps on my CPU, here is how i know that:

- Ran AIDA64 stability test , stress CPU only, CPU gets to a max of 80 Celsius
- Lunch some random AAA title like Helldivers 2,GPU is still on fan-stop, CPU is 85 Celsius on 30% utilization

at first i thought the 4060 Ti was frying my CPU with it's top fan, but it's fans weren't spinning

i need help figuring out if one the following is correct

- i have bad or un-even application of thermal paste
- the GPU is bottlenecked by the CPU
- the Hyper 212 is insufficient foe the 5600X 

if someone has a similar rig, i'd be happy to know the temps

Anything under 100 degrees Celsius is generally fine for CPUs, regardless of how high-end they are. If you're unsure, try repasting and rescrewing the mounting screws. Your CPU has a TDP of 65W, and your cooler can handle that.

Don't tell me to upgrade. I would've done so if I could.

80 during "stress test" is good on Ryzen,

 

4060Ti is ~30% faster than 6600 XT, this headroom means CPU can generate/prepare more frames for the GPU to render in simple terms,

 

so the temps will be higher, because fps is higher, because CPU contributes to FPS almost as hard as GPU does,

 

Hyper is a nice cooler for 5600x,

hard to tell, how did you apply it?

no not really, bottleneck itself no matter how big it is isn't a sole reason for high temps,

it's better than stock

decent case, does it have front fans too?

 

it's not mesh case, but it does what it's supposed to do, keep the noise in with a more closed design, there might be worse cases still than this, and getting mesh won't really increase temps by a huge margin, though you are free to try by opening the sidepanel and see how the PC is temp wise without it.

5600x is slightly higher TDP than 5600, but in essence yes, or at least 5600x used to be advertized higher than 65W TDP, but they both are about 88W during boost anyway...
