Extreme heat with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Hey there! Your setup sounds solid, but it looks like your CPU isn’t cooling properly during intense loads. The high temperatures you saw in Cinebench suggest the thermal paste might not be sticking well or could be degraded. Since you changed it, try applying a fresh batch and ensure it’s evenly applied. If the issue persists, consider checking the heatsink fit, cleaning any debris from the cooler, or even upgrading to a higher-performance cooler. Let me know what you try next!
Hello, The readings look fine—no issues there. Many titles depend more on the GPU than the CPU as well.
Yes, you're using the stock cooler—better luck saving for something better! Undervolting might void your warranty. And yes, Master always has those big warnings.
You don’t have to lower the voltage, and since you’re thinking about getting a larger cooler, it won’t be much of an issue.
