It seems there was a mix-up in details. The advice applies to both the Ryzen 3600 and Ryzen 2600. - Look at case airflow (like taking off the side panel to clear any blockages) - Verify CPU cooler installation (may need fresh thermal paste if the CPU is taken out) - Upgrade to a more efficient CPU cooler. Taking off the side panel is simple and fast to do.
It would be wise to repeat the stress test without the side panel.
Poor airflow impacts both idle and load temperatures. It becomes more obvious when the system is under stress. If the idle temperature stays the same even without the case panel, the issue likely lies with the CPU cooler. A faulty mounting or a subpar stock cooler could also be the cause.
You'll check back in 10 minutes, then I'll present the findings.
It's possible for cables to restrict airflow. With a 20-meter length and the side panel taken off, the setup could limit ventilation.
Absolutely. Ensure there’s no cable clutter and that wires don’t obstruct the fans, particularly during intake phases.
