Temperatures on high-end Ryzen processors can rise significantly under heavy workloads.
Hello, your setup is performing well under typical usage. The temperatures you're seeing—50-60°C during light tasks and 70-92°C while gaming—are quite common for a Ryzen 5 3600x with a Scythe Mugen cooler. These values suggest the cooling system is effectively managing heat, especially at higher loads.
What's the highest temperature? 92°C max? My 3700X on 280mm aio doesn't hit 92°C during games. Turn off PBO update, latest BIOS and chipset driver from AMD. Check Amd Ryzen balance power plan, verify cooler fit, ensure it's properly seated. Raise CPU fan speed. How do you apply thermal paste on Ryzen 3600X? Center peas no longer works on Ryzen 3000 because the die placement has changed compared to Intel CPUs and Ryzen 1000/2000. What's the ambient temperature? Apply offset voltage -0.05. You might lose a bit of performance there.
@TTwerty Hi, I have the same problem as yours. I buy new mobo: Gigabyte Auros Elite on B450 Chipset and Ryzen 5 3600X . I installed Arctic Freezer 34 eSports duo cooling on it. Temps on idle fluctuate in the following ranges: 38 - 48 'C. When running benchmarks or an application that requires a lot of CPU, temps reaching 82 'C. I also have a sensor installed on the heat sink - it is inserted into the third rib in the heat sink - looking from the processor base. Here, the maximum temperature is 34 'C. I know that the temperature of the heatsink has nothing to do with the processor itself, however, there is no possibility for such a difference. At 100% cooling is installed correctly. AMD issued a statement about the change in temperature measurement on new CPUs but I can't find it anywhere. And I know I've read about it somewhere. I also have a second computer with Ryzen 7 2700x CPU with same motherboard and here, even though the processor is more power-consuming, temps under maximum load during rendering do not exceed 67 'C.
According to the article, increased temperatures in the third generation aren't a major concern. Another way to cut heat is to turn off PBO and reduce PPT by 5-15 watts. This approach will cause only slight performance loss while saving between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
