Playing games with the Ryzen 3600x 80C+ is a solid choice.
It's unsettling, isn't it? I assembled this system a few months back, and its temperatures were usually under 50°C. Now it's nearing 90°C during gaming—does that seem typical? I haven’t done any overclocking or modifications. Could the thermal paste have degraded? I’m not sure.
Ryzen processors tend to heat up during performance spikes but should stay well below 90°C, with a safe upper limit around 95°C. Verify your BIOS settings and ensure your fan curve is properly configured. You may need a more aggressive fan curve for optimal cooling. In Windows, select a balanced power plan in the power settings. Do you have any case fans installed? Please share their quantity, location within the case, and whether they're intake or exhaust fans. Airflow from the case can also affect temperatures. Finally, confirm if you're monitoring temperatures using RyzenMaster or another tool.
When using a stock cooler and your case lacks sufficient airflow, maintaining the right temperature can still be challenging, even with good thermal paste. You didn't specify any additional components or solutions.
CPU fan operates near maximum speed continuously, activating above 40°C and ramping up to 80% or more as temperatures rise. With four case fans running at low speed, consider switching them to high for better cooling. Removing the top dust filter might also improve performance. You're using a Ryzen balanced plan and are experiencing strong performance in fullscreen games.
Sure! I’d raise the fan speed on your case fans for improved airflow. Do you understand whether your PC has positive, negative, or balanced airflow?
I don’t understand what you’re asking. Can you explain further?
