Temperature remains high even when idle.

Ryzen 5 3600x stock configurations Gigabyte A320m sh-2 latest BIOS Here are the issues: I power on the PC → idle temperature reaches 45°C → when watching videos or tasks it jumps to 65°C+ → I stop all tasks but the temperature stays high. Once it hits 65°C+, it doesn’t lower even when idle. I switched the power plan and reduced processor power rate to 5% but it still doesn’t work. All other settings like core clocks, temperatures, and fan speeds are normal. It helps! https://imgur.com/a/B6SEnjw

Use the application named HWInfo64. Select sensor only when you open it. The arrows at the bottom left will reveal more columns. CPU temperature readings are precise to the core level.

Check your passive cooling once it reaches 65°C. Does it continue to run hot without cooling down?

TY for a fast update. HWinfo displays the same 65c. The peak temperature reached during the workload is 77c, then drops to 65c and remains there.

audience is revving at full speed while idling at 65c. It's running hot.

YW. OK 77c is a great temperature reading—no cause for concern. The CPU cooler is just handling a higher temperature difference, so it will remain warmer during idle, though the rise with a full load test is small. As you mentioned before. Ideally, tweak the fan curve in BIOS or via the software you installed. A more aggressive idle setting might help.

No, I don't use a stock AMD cooler.

Do you know it lacks strong cooling capabilities? You might want to consider an aftermarket air cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212. I bet you won't encounter this issue with it.

I believe adjusting the fan speed when CPU usage is low would have resolved this problem. It seems you don't need to purchase a new cooler for it.
