Hey, I purchased a Ryzen 5 2600 back in December 2019 and it arrived on January 4th, 2020. It was a big step up from my Ryzen 3 1200, allowing me to handle rendering and other tasks until the CPU started acting odd. On the first day I used it, it hit around 97°C while exporting media in Premiere Pro—surprisingly, the system didn’t shut down or throttle, just kept its speed. When I tried to close Premiere Pro, it didn’t respond well and ended up finishing the export without closing. That’s when I decided to upgrade to a cooler. I installed the Deep Cool Gammaxx 400 and the same problem continued—overheating persisted, with temperatures staying between 60-90°C unless I left the PC idle for an hour. Even then, it never dropped below that range. After a short break, the temps would rise again around 60-90°C and stayed there. Monitoring tools like HWInfo, MSIAfterburner, Ryzen Master, and BIOS confirmed consistent readings. It seems this temperature issue might be related to a driver or cooling software problem, not just hardware failure. From what I’ve seen, the heatsink stays cool during idle, and the GPU stays under 65°C even at full load (around 55°C). The VRM idle current is low at 30-35c. The screenshot I took shows me playing Dota 2 at 1080p60fps, and those are the readings. Note: I’ve also added a new image to demonstrate how the temps behave after a cold start and during normal operation. Specs: CPU - Ryzen 5 2600 (not overclocked), RAM - T-FORCE Delta RGB 2666MHz 8GB x1, Board - Gigabyte A320M-DS2, GPU - RX 5700XT.

Check if similar temperatures appear in Ryzen Master. Ensure you have the newest BIOS and chipset drivers installed. Likely the issue lies with the motherboard—A320 models tend to perform poorly and were designed for budget components.

Times appear identical across Ryzen Master, MSIAfterburner and Bios. Yes, I've installed the newest chipset drivers and applied the latest BIOS update F50a. This problem only occurred with my Ryzen 5 2600 and not with my Ryzen 3 1200, though both have the same TDP. It's hard to say for sure if the issue is real or just a glitch—uncertain about what's going on with this situation.
