Extremely high CPU temperature detected during BIOS mode and when the system is idle.
Extremely high CPU temperature detected during BIOS mode and when the system is idle.
Hey, your new build is progressing nicely so far. The CPU temps are hovering around 50-65°C in both BIOS and idle mode, which isn’t ideal but not out of the ordinary. The service staff mentioned a similar issue with your motherboard’s cooling performance. Your specs look solid—Ryzen 5 3600, stock cooler, decent RAM, and a good GPU. Consider checking if your motherboard supports higher thermal performance or upgrading to a better cooler if needed. You might also want to monitor temperatures closely and ensure proper airflow.
What case? Stock cooler with the 3600 is decent, so temps should be lower. Are you not getting enough airflow to vacate the hot air? When you say idle, have you checked background processes to see if the CPU is truly idle or working still?
You're right, checking BIOS temps isn't always reliable. You're aiming for a stable Windows session without fan activity, so focus on system stability instead.
The setup with fans and airflow helps by moving hot air away from the CPU and pulling in cooler air to cool the fins. Your room temperature is important, and you're sure the cooler was installed correctly with proper thermal paste? You seem to have used the paste beforehand. Stress testing pushes the CPU to its limits, but your model only reaches 94°C during the AIDA64 test—still within safe bounds.
Yes, the team there even replaces the cooler to investigate the issue.
