Checking performance at 60 degrees in idle mode. Looking for ways to boost it.
Hello, I just assembled a PC with an ASRock Taichi X570, Ryzen 9 3950X, and Kraken X62. My cooling performance is around 60°C, which feels a bit high. The hook-style bracket isn’t working well here—it even scratched the copper. I had to remove the lower pre-installed one during another try for it to fit. Do you have a 4 screws bracket version for AMD? Did I do something incorrectly? If I’m unsure, what should I do next?
I'm not sure about the 3950X, though I think it should be cooler and more efficient than my 3900X, but temperatures above 90°C are a worry. I don't use Prime, but mine stays around 38°C during gaming sessions (after hours) at about 70°C. My 3900X is connected to a 360mm AIO with room temperature near 24°C.
If you run your usual games that use around 25% of your CPU, you have a temperature around 70°C. You've tried all the different AIO top options—basic models and more advanced ones. The push-top model gave you strong vibration but didn’t actually improve cooling; it just used hot air from inside instead of fresh air. It seems like your setup might be faulty.
