Optimal conditions for Ryzen 5 3600
Optimal conditions for Ryzen 5 3600
You're seeing a high 90°C when you start a game despite having a stock cooler and a Ryzen 5 3600. Your idle temps are only 47-65°C, which suggests the cooling system is handling normal workloads well. Consider checking fan speed settings, dust buildup, or thermal paste condition.
It seems your cooler isn't connecting well with the heatsink. Verify it's installed correctly and that the fan is powered on and running. Edit: Have you performed any overclocking? Updated August 27, 2020 by B1ueskycomp1ex
I experienced consistent temperatures across stocks. I’m confident my setup was correct, but the cooler voltage seems too high for the heat sink. It’s still under the maximum limit, which is acceptable for AMD, but after switching to a budget cooler (around $30), performance dropped noticeably—games slowed from 85 to 60 and stress tests fell from 95 to 80.
Use an aftermarket cooler that fits your vehicle and meets your cooling needs.
