AMD Ryzen 5 1600X high temps on idle 65+ degrees

Just completed my ryzen build, and I am slightly worried about the temperature readings I am getting.

My Build
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600x standard clock
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - M9a 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler
GPU: R9 280X
Mobo: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK ATX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
PSU: Cooler Master - 750W Semi Modular
I have 1 intake fan at the front, 2 exhaust at the top, and 1 exhaust at the rear

The Temperatures
My BIOS is reading between 45-50 degrees Celsius

When idle on Windows 10:
AMD Ryzen Master is showing temp of around 45-55 degrees Celsius
HWMonitor is showing between 70-75 Degrees with voltages of around 1.28v
CoreTemp is showing around 45-50

I played on PUBG for a while and HWMonitor was reporting around 85-100 degrees

I haven't tried any benchmarks yet, neither have I reapplied thermal paste.

I live on the 5th floor of a very stuffy, sun facing apartment with poor air flow. Its been hitting highs of 30 degrees Celsius.

I read somewhere that Ryzen X series CPUs have an offset of 20 degrees? Would this be the case for my Ryzen 5 1600x?

What do you guys propose I should do? Should I try re-fitting the CPU Cooler? Should I run some benchmarks to see if they bring up any fault?

Thank you in advance

EDIT:
I ran GPU : OCCT for 36 minutes. Here is the temperature graph

Solution
Yes the 1600x has a 20c offset.

The bios & ryzen master (if its the latest one ) will allow for this & show correct temps

Hwimfo/monitor/core temp will not .

If you're ambient temps are close to 30c I would fully expect 50c in bios & at low load in windows - ryzen does not run particularly cool compared to previous amd chips.

Id argue the m9 is probably only just up to the job in all honesty.

Really? ah shit maybe I should have gone for a more powerful fan. Could you recommend any fans that would be suitable for me? bearing in mind my apartment is always super hot and acrid.

I have altered fan speeds in BIOS so they spin up faster at a lower temperature and Ryzen master is reporting around 47 degrees when CS:GO is loaded (in main menu and tabbed out). At what temperature should I be starting to worry?

Thanks for the help
 
That temp is fine mate , if you're happy running the m9 fan faster then you're good


What case are you using??
If it allows for 2 front intakes I would personally take the top front exhaust out & fit it as another front case intake.

2 exhausts is plenty , 1 intake is barely enough.
You'll get better general case airflow with 2 intakes & 2 exhausts.

I'll run the M9a faster for now. I can always purchase a better quality fan in the future if any problems arise.

I have a corsair carbide 400C case (space for 1 rear, 2 top, 2 front)

Wouldn't having the same number of exhaust and intake fans get rid of negative pressure? Correct me if i'm wrong but I thought negative pressure was the key to good airflow.

I can stick one the top fans on the front as an intake if that's the right thing to do.

I t

 
Negative vs positive pressure has little impact on actual temps mate.
More a way of removing the chance of internal dust build up.
4 fans ?? Always balance them 2 intake , 2 exhaust mate - you'll drop internal temps by 5c straight away just doing that.

Also a top/front exhaust actually drags air away from a tower cooler before its actually had a chance to use it & can impact the cpu coolers fan performance detrimentally.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Ill chuck one of my 140mm from the top onto the front, which will give a slight positive pressure.

That makes sense. The air is drawn away before it passes the CPU... probably should have thought about that :p

I'll change the fans around and run OCCT again for 20 minutes and get back to you on the results

cheers

Hey guys i have the same issues, temp at idle around 45-50c, but hwmonitor says it's 70ish, and my fans became loud when i do nothing, but in bios the fans are not loud
