Low temperatures when the computer is idle on my Ryzen processor?
Low temperatures when the computer is idle on my Ryzen processor?
Hello,
I am having the below configuration. my issue is with the temps. my idle temp is in the range of 66+ sometimes 70 as well. even my temp in BIOS 59-60degree. i don't know what's the issue. is it the cooler or the CPU is faulty. my CPU warranty end in July so if that's the fault then i can replace or claim the warranty. kindly confirm the means to troubleshoot it so that i can understand the real reason for it.
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
Cooler: Noctua NH D15 Chromax black
Motherboard: ASUS ProArt X570-Creator WiFi
RAM: 128GB G.Skill RIPJAW V
GPU: ASUS TUF 4090 (NON OC )
Case - Fractal Torrent
I am attaching reports from HWinfo during Cinebench R23, Prime 95 test of 1hour, during gaming and when nothing is on except some background tasks like Hwinfo and all.
I'm also attaching the pics of my desktop.
All are attached in the google links as I dont know how to attach files here directly.
Kindly let me know if i need to send any other reports to dig deeper into this case.

i have reinstalled thermal paste in last Jan 2024, then again in October 2024. now i waiting for some input so if needed i will retry it with a deep clean. but after reinstalling the thermal paste i didnt see any significant drop in thermals. mostly it dropped to 60 from 65 i guess.
i have a cooler master thermal paste and a little of noctua one.
i normally spread the thermal paste over the IHS and then install the cooler.
suggestion to improve or any mistakes if you can find in the installation if any then pls highlight it so that i can improve on it
How busy is your operating system currently? A usage above 1% means it's no longer idle. The specific frequencies and voltages during that moment are also available.
your current usage is 4000Mhz. i understand i don't stay completely idle all the time. my queries begin in bios too, and the temp is around 60 degrees. i see many youtube videos about bios temps being 30-40 degrees, so i'm curious what could be wrong with my setup.
i've attached the hw info stats in the main post.
please suggest:

Temperature in BIOS is not relevant as no power saving is enabled yet and practically with no load. It's used by BIOS just to prevent overheating during POST.
As for 5900x. it's a hot processor. even my 5800x was true idling (less than 1% usage) at over 50c under a 360 AIO cooler and pump running at full speed. What you can try is to control/lower voltages. Ryzen always keeps them higher at idle and drops with load. Use Curve optimizer in BIOS to lower voltages dynamically. For a quick test, enable ECO mode in BIOS. it lowers TDP to 65W-
Sure, having idle time above 65 degrees is typical. The main concern is determining whether the CPU functions correctly without any issues. You plan to repaste the thermal paste and perform a deep clean this week to compare results. Keep in mind these points when checking if the earlier thermal paste application was accurate.
I prefer to utilize OCCT

for testing under stress and stability, while also using graphs for monitoring.
