Is this normal for CPU Temperature?

[Tech Reprise]

Is it normal for CPU gaming temps to be higher than CPU stress temps?

Gaming temps ~60°C

Stress Temps ~50°C

Ambient Temps ~20°C 

 

Didn't check Idle Temps of CPU but motherboard was 25°C so CPU should be around the same mark. Stressed the CPU using AIDA64 CPU+FPU+Cache for 15mins and CPU-Z stress test also for 15mins. 

 

On my Ryzen 3500 this was reversed, stress temps were higher than games. Cooler was and is the AK620 Dual tower White with fan set at 50% for both the CPU's. Temperature monitored on HWinfo64 on the Maximum tab.

yes.

60 degrees under load is fantastic.

Check the temps while using Cinebench R24. Most likely the reason gaming temps are higher is the way your cooling/fan curve is setup, could also be usage related. Regardless of the discrepancy in temps they're all within normal ranges. I don't see anything to worry about.

That is really good!

This doesn't make sense and makes me think you should be checking more stats. Just looking at temperature alone doesn't ever give you a full picture. Along with temp and just as important for determining what's going on is clockspeed, package power and usage (across all cores). A true CPU stress test (well, its really a benchmark) like Cinebench R23 will load all cores to 100% and should absolutely result in the highest temperatures vs. something like games.

@Shimejii no ofc not.. but 60c is nothing to worry about

stress test is normally for one part well a game can use multi parts. unless you used more then one stress test at once i guess
