High temperatures with the Ryzen 5 3600
The Ryzen 5 3600 shows elevated temperatures when idle, but the screenshot captures it during idle mode. The peak readings are listed without any gaming activity.
Verify mounting position on the cooler and ensure complete TIM coverage.
From the initial look, have you adjusted your fan curves? Is it functioning properly? Those RPMs appear to be lower than expected. Below are my temperatures for comparison when they run quietly. For context, I’m using 10 MS Edge tabs open—one with YouTube, Discord active, and Chrome with a browser-based image editor running. There’s no heavy resource usage overall. The main variations I notice are the fan RPMs.
