Overclock idle temperature for Ryzen 1600X
Overclock idle temperature for Ryzen 1600X
Is this a typical idle temperature for this overclock? I've been testing this configuration for a few days and both Ryzen Master and CAM display the same readings. The setup uses NZXT 440 stock fans with a push configuration. The cooler is new, but after replacing the thermal paste today, temperatures remain consistent. The room temperature is around 21°C. During stress tests, the CPU reaches about 70°C, while gaming stays near 60°C.
Thanks, I was just surprised by these temperatures since they only drop a few degrees from OC. I know the Ryzen CPU is different from others, but still it feels pretty high. What voltage are you using when you're not overclocking? High voltage at stock clocks can cause higher temps even with low clock speeds. If you increased the voltage for overclocking and then returned to stock clocks without going back to the previous setting, your temperatures might be elevated. Also, the default V-core voltages in the BIOS could be too high. If you're running at base clock speed with the default voltage, consider lowering it to see if stability improves and temperatures drop.
46C is a bit too high for temperatures at 21°C. However, since you're doing a 4ghz overclock, your temps during load are okay. I wouldn't be concerned.

Also, the default v-core voltage in the BIOS could be too high. If you're running at base speed with the default voltage, try lowering it and see if things stabilize—stable temps usually mean lower heat. Your readings don't indicate a cooling system or CPU failure; they're consistently around 90°C or more. It might just be a good chip. The CPU doesn't need many volts to handle high overclocks, so reducing voltage can help with heat. Couple that with a great cooler, and you should see improvement. As a Kabby Lake owner, I'd really like to see peaks at 70°C during a stress test.
