Idle Temperature 3700X
Idle Temperature 3700X
Hello, you're asking about potential issues with your system after purchasing a Ryzen 3700x and Asus ROG B550F bundle. It sounds like your i5 7600 was having performance problems in certain games, with temperatures fluctuating between 42°C and higher during lighter tasks. You've tried different software and cooling solutions without much improvement. The BIOS shows the chip at 45°C, and you're concerned about overheating. Make sure your Windows setup is stable and consider checking for any pending updates or driver issues. Also, ensure your case and cooling components are functioning properly. If the temperature stays within safe limits and performance improves, it's likely not a critical problem.
Don't worry, the CPU reaches its throttling limit at 95°C. To check the cooler's efficiency, monitor temperatures during maximum load. However, I don't notice any problems with your temps—everything is normal and functioning well. Have fun with your build!
Thanks for the note, just a little cautious. I've been working with Intel over the last couple of builds, and my first one was an AMD Athlon X2.
Interesting. The performance varies with different Intel models; some throttle quickly at high speeds. Likely you've never faced such issues. The Athlon X2 typically stayed under 60°C, while most 90nm-45nm Athlons didn't exceed around 70°C.
The AMD Zen tends to show rapid temperature changes when idle or under light workloads. This is typical behavior. If the processor frequently restarts and causes discomfort, you can configure a custom fan profile. This ensures the fan operates at idle speed until the CPU reaches around 55°C, then activates only when needed for actual load.
