R5 5500 achieving 88c on Cinebench Mukticore
During cinebench r23 with Ryzen Master and background processes, my 5500 reaches 87°C. Multi-core testing shows idle temps between 34-38°C. The stock cooler performs well, though the Wraith Stealth is the least efficient. I recently upgraded to the newer 5500 and haven’t played yet, but my case has solid airflow with four fans and good intake/exhaust. I’m using the original thermal paste now, intending to switch to master paste later. It feels unusually hot compared to my older R3 3100’s 72°C. Upgrading the cooler seems a possibility, but budget and time are constraints. Any advice?
Everything looks fine. There are still two more cores to consider. The 88C isn't risky, and Cinebench is quite challenging.
Stock cooler is supposed to suffice. Avoid spending extra on higher-end paste—it won’t make a difference. Just opt for an affordable 35$ model; a rising CPU performance is typical. You’re getting about half the power of a newer unit.
The spire usually included premium chips with a 95-watt power draw, marked by the higher TDP, whereas any Ryzen model under 65 watts would generally come with the stealth version.
Ah, my mistake. I kinda always thought it went: R3 - stealth R5 - spire R7 - prism Fair enough, thanks.
