Running at high temperatures is becoming a concern.
Running at high temperatures is becoming a concern.
Finally achieved a 3800x resolution and it's operating much hotter than expected. Idling at low 40s is fine, but under load it reaches around 79°C, and during stress tests it hits 82°C. Is this typical or am I making a mistake? I own a 3800x (obviously) MSI B450 Tomahawk Cooler Master Masterliquid ML360R RGB with RGB fans on the front and two on the back for exhaust. If you need further details about the setup, just let me know.
It's strange how it shifts back and forth between 42c and 53c without any clear reason.
The temperature spikes are typical during idle, even if slightly elevated... It looks a bit warm there. You might want to reposition the waterblock. Perhaps the thermal paste is too much or too little? Adding a fan near the VRM area could help spread the heat away from the CPU socket.
The Ryzen 3000 line is recognized for its marginally higher idle temperatures. As long as you stay below 50°C, it should be okay. The quick temperature increases are mainly due to their boosting performance. This is completely typical. I'm using the identical cooler with a 3700X. How do you manage your pump and fans? Speed of the pump is the key factor in efficiently cooling the CPU, followed by the radiator fans. What stress tests are you running?
It's typical with PBO activated. Software tools and background processes can increase its activity. Temperatures may be fine during gaming or other tasks. It probably stays manageable unless under heavy load.
