Hello everyone.

I just built my PC a few days ago and been fiddling around with the OC.

Part list:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JKx9Bb

Only problem I noticed are my temps.
Running the 2600 at 4Ghz 1.35V with the kraken x62 my idle temps are around 45-50 C.
While gaming it only rises to around 55-60 C though.

I'm guessing the main problem is that I have three 140mm intake fans and the radiator at the front, and only one 140mm exhaust fan at the back.

Ambient is around 21-22 C.

Are these temps fine or should I get better paste and remount my cooler?

Ryzen Master should also report Tdie. Run a CPU stress test, Prime95 small FFT or OCCT small data set are very good, to see if your CPU temperature stays tolerable. If they run under 75C you are good and shouldn't have problems in games due to thermals.

A game wonl't load up more than one or two cores heavily. While those cores' temperature may get pretty hot and possibly lead to a crash, overall CPU...


If that's a temperature while running a stress test with all cores fully loaded, 45-50C looks very good; AMD recommends limiting CPU temp to 75C for sustained, stable operation. So you've a lot of margin, especially so since Tjmax is 95C.

But what are you using to report temperature? My recommendation is get a utility called HWInfo64 and look for a 'Tdie' temp. That is the one reported by the processor and is the most accurate for non-'X' CPU's.

I was using ryzen master, I noticed CAM shows rougly the same so I was using ingame, playing ME Andromeda at 1440p everything at max settings, my gpu is 72 C and the CPU is around 55 C.

55 C ingame at 4 ghz seems pretty fine to me, Im more surprised that idle its around 45-48 C now, only 7-10 degrees of increase under load.

A game wonl't load up more than one or two cores heavily. While those cores' temperature may get pretty hot and possibly lead to a crash, overall CPU temperature won't rise nearly as much. So people sometimes wonder why it crashes in a game even though temperature isn't way out. They need to test the CPU with a heavy all-core load to determine if temperatures are OK and it will stay stable.
 
Solution


While it is true that a benchmark or burn in program should be used to test thermals and stability under load, that does not directly relate to games functioning properly or games crashing. In addition to benchmarks and burn in programs it is important to play games to make sure the CPU is stable.

I set the voltage today to 1.22 from 1.35, that was the lowest stable, I tested running cinebench 10 times one after another. Highest temp was 65 degrees, ingame now its around 45-47 degrees.
