Ryzen 3600 performance at 360mm AIO setup
Hey! Your readings look pretty typical for an AMD Ryzen 3600 with an AIO case. The temps you mentioned are within the expected range for that configuration, especially after a couple of weeks of use. The setup you described should help maintain stable temperatures despite the higher airflow from your exhaust fans. Just keep an eye on things if you notice any unusual behavior. Good luck!
Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: Asus B550 Strix-F Gaming Wifi ID Cooling Zoomflow 360mm
WiFi: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL18 (2x16)
These readings indicate very cold temperatures paired with a high clock speed for a 3600. It suggests you have a high-quality component. 50° and 85° are typical values. The main challenge comes from 7nm processes and chiplets, which increase density and cause heat buildup. You might achieve comparable temperatures with a smaller cooler. If you worry about metal connections, always consider polishing them.
These figures are a bit higher than expected. It really depends on the workload you're using. Are these readings from something like prime95 small FFT or a more typical benchmark such as cinebench, gaming, or editing? I'm seeing around 65 degrees under cinebench with the same chip at 4.3ghz, 1.325v set (1.294-1.3v under load), using a 280mm AIO as an intake at 20-22 degrees ambient. Considering your chip operates at a lower voltage with a 360mm AIO, I think you'd get better performance. It might be worth trying the AIO as a front-mounted intake if your case permits it.
Thanks for the input! The typical temperatures come from Prime95. For gaming and cinema setups, you'd likely be comfortable around 63 to 68 degrees. The case would help, but I'm avoiding placing my rad in front as suggested in the GN's Rad placement video.
If that's the case, you have nothing to worry about. Those are good temps considering the higher ambient temp. On a side note, according to GN's AIO Mounting Orientation video, there is nothing wrong with mounting the rad in front, as long as the tubes are placed on the bottom, not on top.
I feel really insecure about these temperatures, but honestly they might not be the worst. With the clocks in play, it’s pretty cool. Your 3700X stays steady around 4.2 GHz at 1.275V, your chip is amazing!
