5700 overheating

[Felix Wang]

Ryzen 7 5700 overheats.

Amd stock cooler

50+ degree idle

100+ degrees playing games

Cant find solutions

Is this a new problem or has it persisted since you built the PC?

 

Did you overclock at all?

 

Do you have adequate airflow through your case? (What case do you have and how many fans are installed? Are they all blowing "in"?)

 

Is the cooler installed properly, with enough (but not too much) thermal paste and the plastic sticker peeled off?

Nvm i thought its the gpu

I just built the PC few days ago.

i have a termaltake view 170 case and I used the fans that comes with the case

(2 intake, 1 exhaust)

I installed all the screws very tightly and I think Amd stock cooler doesn’t come with plastic peels

I do play on a TCL tv, which is 4k. Idk if that’s causing the issue

This is not the cause of the issue

This should be good, but do double check your GPU isn't also wildly overheating

50deg idle says to me there is a bad mount on the cooler.
I think you're correct that there isn't a film on the cooler. Instead there is a thicker plastic cup that basically doesn't allow you to install the cooler without removal. 
Can you remove the cooler and take a pic of the paste spread?

IIRC this has been debunked. The downside of too much paste is that it's messy to service, not that it negatively affects cooling

I adjusted the fan speed on  BIOS, and it kind of worked a little bit better

Also the gpu is normal for its temperature, it’s just the cpu

Things to check:

-is the cable of the cooler connected to CPU_FAN head

-if you used the preapplied thermal paste (which is fine), was it a nice and plane, did you touch it and maybe accidentally remove some?

-did you screw down the cooler screws completely (at one point they stop clicking and you can't screw them down further, don't force it)

-check the fan rpm in idle and while gaming

Its just a shitty cooler. Replace with anything.

Unless he doesn't mind buying a new cooler, I would troubleshoot. My ryzen 5 5500 sits at 35°c idle and 60°c gaming (1440p ultra 90fps) with the stock cooler and thermal paste, and I put rather low rpm on it favoring silence.

He has two more cores and a higher power budget. When I first moved to AM4 I had to use the stock cooler from my 3600XT on my 5600X while I waited for a mounting kit for my Le Grand Macho RT.  My Zen 3 CPU's idle in the 20s. I have 5600X, 5800X3D, and 5900X. They are not running anywhere near stock though, so load temps vary. I use Linpack Xtreme to test for max temps. Games are pretty easy to run.

Should I get a 240cm aio?

That is entirely up to you. I would just get a Phantom Spirit 120 EVO. That will last you awhile, and you can drop it on a fairly serious CPU later if you wanted to.

Is it overclocked? Clean the cooler and heatsink and reapply thermal paste. Stock cooler should be fine if the CPU is stock.

[akimismo]

Did you try to set the cpu fan to 100% in bios and check again idle and gaming temps? Maybe it's just the fan curve that needs optimization.

Or, its a shitty little aluminum puck made to keep the CPU from killing itself, and that's it..
