Ryzen 3 1300x stress test temps too high?

I did the system stability test with AIDA64 over 20 mins and got an avg cpu temp of around 73C. This is with no OC. I feel like this isn't normal since this guy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olwn2JfpIWM&t=1m39s
, on a R3 1200 seems to be getting around 43C 2 mins into his stress test whereas mine quickly ramps into 50s then steadily into 60s and 70s. So if there's something wrong, what should I do to fix it? Total newb considering overclocking so I feel I should try to fix any problems before attempting. Sorry for the long post and thank you so much!

Your stress test temps are normal. There's absolutely no way he is seeing 43°C under any kind of full core stress. Even full liquid loops would be hard pressed to maintain that temp as liquid temps will take @ ½ hr to stabilize and as liquid temps rise, so will the cpu temp as the liquid starts loosing ability to absorb as much energy.

YouTube videos are biased in favor of the video, they'll only show what's possible, not what's probable, and only if the conditions are perfectly matched, which is almost impossible to attain as the video pc is a total unknown as far as ambient temps, current running apps, background apps, airflow in pc, airflow in room, fan curves, power settings, bios settings, voltages, wall voltages, psu efficiency...

Your CPU temp depends on a lot of things. Most important one is CPU cooler itself. Others are case fans, thermal paste, room temperature,....

Look at his case. It has three fans on the front. He has water cooling installed because of that it will take about 15min+ to heat up the water. And he's inside his workshop, which probably is about 25c or less.

@ 6:39 he mentions that he's using the wraith cooler (same as mine out of the box). Given that and my room temperature is pretty cool, I'm not sure that would a account for a 30C difference between temps where his overclocked temps (56C) are still significantly less than my non overclocked temp. Maybe something else?

What's your idle temp? Also, do note that you have 1300x which automatically OC's much higher than his 1200.

And your temps should reach near max in a minute or less if you're using an air cooler. Touch your heatsink as you start stress testing, how fast does it get hot? Maybe you have a bad paste.

Simply put, take YouTube with a grain of salt, they are opinions only, not Gospel fact.
