High CPU heat and slow performance
High CPU heat and slow performance
Hey, your new build looks solid. The temps you're seeing—around 60°C for memory, 70°C for the GPU, and 60-80°C for the CPU—are typical under load. With XMP disabled and no voltage adjustments made, it's normal for these numbers to stay in that range. Your BIOS showing 2137.42 MHz at 1.236V is also within expected limits for a 3200MHz DDR4 RAM setup. Just keep an eye on the temperatures during intense gaming sessions, but they shouldn't be a cause for concern unless they spike consistently.
Consider turning XMP on since your temperatures look acceptable. I’d eventually search for a quality aftermarket cooler. You haven’t experienced memory reaching those extreme levels during load, yet it’s still within acceptable limits. Are the top fans directed toward exhaust, and do they operate at full speed while you play?
I was planning to enable it until i seen my memeory hit around 60°c, sometimes low 70°c. I was unsure if this was safe operating temps for ram? Couldn't find much about it online. I've got a spare cooler master evo 212 but waiting on a adapter for my motherboard. As for fans I have 2 intake at the front and 3 exhaust, 1 rear two top all at max speeds when at those temps.
I recently replaced this machine with a Ryzen model. I’m using a 12-year-old Noctua NH-U12P cooler. They provide upgrade kits for almost every socket, making the process straightforward. For my setup, the fan is drawing air right above those Ripjaws, and when you touch them while gaming, they’re actually quite impressive at this point.
Sure, that helps calm things down. Appreciate the understanding.
