Ryzen 5 3600 with Dark Rock Pro 4 cooling solution
I built my new rig today: B450 Tomahawk Max R5 3600 Dark Rock Pro 4 Cooler 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 GTX 1060 3GB (my RTX 2060s is still on back order) However while just rebuilding the files, and installing programmes and games the CPU managed to reach 69.5c, and Cinebench R20 pushed it to 74c! Now im new to AMD chips, always had intel, and this is my first build myself - but is this normal for this CPU+cooler. Or have I done something wrong?
Hello there. Your temperatures are all good and within range. 74°C is a comfortable setting. The CPU throttling temperature is 95°C, giving you a solid 21°C buffer from your reported values. Everything looks fine—enjoy your setup!
It's normal for the setup to behave that way. The 3700X works well with a Dark Rock 4 non-Pro, though it can spike into the low-70s occasionally. It stays around 65-66°C during games and even when rendering in Davinci Resolve. Compared to the average 80°C on laptops during gaming, that's quite cool.
