Idle at 60°C with Ryzen 5 3600
Hey i've looked everywhere and can't seem to get the right answer. Long story short my Ryzen 5 3600 idles 60 degree celcius on a stock Wraith cooler and i changed it to the settings as shown in Ryzen Master. Questions: 1. Is idling at 60 degrees and fan speed ramping like a jet engine everytime i turn on the PC normal for this chip? 2. What voltages should i change it to? should i do it in the BIOS or Ryzen Master? 3. my room is quite warm and humid as i live in SEA. is my room hot because of the pc, or is my pc hot because of my room (o_o) treat me as you would a child. this is my first pc and i wouldnt wanna bust it because of my ignorance. thank you in advance. i really need the help.. NOTE : i DON'T wanna overclock. i am fine with whatever i am running at. i just want it to be cooler, thats all..
Yes, particularly in a warm room. Ambient temperatures aren't crucial, focus on the actual readings during load. If it stays below 85, it's acceptable. I'd run everything on auto settings—it should perform better and cooler than fixed frequency/voltage overclocking. Also, adjust the window power plan to balanced rather than full performance. I usually stick with BIOS for stability, as it's simple to reset if issues arise.
Yes, go back to the stock and let it settle. Keep an eye on CPU temperatures while under heavy load, like a few Cinebench runs. It's okay if they stay between 85-90. If the fan noise bothers you, an aftermarket cooler can help.
Thanks! I'm considering a used cooler that fits your mATX setup, possibly a Coolermaster H2-12.
For air coolers I always suggest Noctua. They not only have a stylish appearance but also operate quietly and deliver excellent performance!
