Inquiries about Ryzen 3600
Inquiries about Ryzen 3600
Hello everyone, my brother is about to set up a new computer with a Ryzen 3600 CPU. He intends to play games at around 60 frames per second and stream simultaneously (using the CPU for encoding). I’ve started observing some issues with this particular chip. First, with the stock cooler it gets very hot, which is a big concern. Second, is there a way to lower the temps even with the stock cooler? Maybe tweaking something in the BIOS could help? Third, could changing settings in the BIOS affect the warranty from AMD? Fourth, I read about disabling Precision Boost overdrive and Core Performance Boost—it does reduce temperatures a lot but limits reaching 4.1 or 4.2 GHz. Finally, he’s not planning to overclock at all, thanks for your time!
The temperature he's experiencing while gaming remains unspecified in the provided information.
You're asking about the temperature trends you're experiencing. Despite using optimal cooling solutions, your system still reaches around 55°C during intense gaming and streaming, while resting at a cooler 30-35°C. During warmer months, the room can hit up to 28°C. This shows the heat buildup under load is significant.
Ignoring the price isn't the issue. It's just a small voltage drop at most. From a technical standpoint, changing the voltage settings violates the warranty. (People usually don't tell the whole truth) Yes, if you have a regular Wraith Prism cooler, it might not be in use, and you could get a good deal. It'll give a nice appearance and handle the 3600 well.
He plans to assemble this PC without having it ready yet. While watching YouTube tutorials from others who already built it, he noticed some achieve very high temperatures with stock coolers, which worried him. He discovered a video showing significant improvements and decided to try the changes. This is the configuration he intends to use: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Squallypo/saved/bCmqmG. The graphics card will be a gift I already own, just saved. He doesn’t want to overclock it, but he read that the CPU handles that automatically. Is there a way to turn off automatic overclocking then?
