The stress test temperatures for Ryzen 3 1300x are excessive.
I ran a system stability test using AIDA64 for 20 minutes and recorded an average CPU temperature of about 73°C without overclocking. This seems unusual compared to another user's experience on a R3 1200, where temperatures reached around 43°C within the first two minutes of stress testing. If something is amiss, I want to know what steps I should take to resolve it. As a beginner who hasn't done overclocking before, I think it would be wise to address any issues first. Thanks for your patience!
Your stress test temps are normal. There's absolutely no way he is seeing 43°C under any kind of full core stress. Even full liquid loops would be hard pressed to maintain that temp as liquid temps will take @ ½ hr to stabilize and as liquid temps rise, so will the cpu temp as the liquid starts loosing ability to absorb as much energy.
YouTube videos are biased in favor of the video, they'll only show what's possible, not what's probable, and only if the conditions are perfectly matched, which is almost impossible to attain as the video pc is a total unknown as far as ambient temps, current running apps, background apps, airflow in pc, airflow in room, fan curves, power settings, bios settings, voltages, wall voltages, psu efficiency...
The CPU temperature is influenced by several factors. The most critical is the CPU cooler. Other elements include case fans, thermal paste, and ambient room temperature. Take a look at his case—it features three front-mounted fans. Because of this, he uses water cooling, which takes roughly 15 minutes or more to warm up the water. He's also working inside his workshop, likely around 25°C or cooler.

Look at his case. It has three fans on the front. He has water cooling installed because of that it will take about 15min+ to heat up the water. And he's inside his workshop, which probably is about 25c or less.
@ 6:39 he mentions that he's using the wraith cooler (same as mine out of the box). Given that and my room temperature is pretty cool, I'm not sure that would a account for a 30C difference between temps where his overclocked temps (56C) are still significantly less than my non overclocked temp. Maybe something else?
What's your current temperature? Also, keep in mind that you have 1300x which significantly raises the OC compared to his 1200. And your temperatures should hit near maximum within a minute or so if you're using an air cooler. Feel the heatsink as you begin stress testing—how quickly does it heat up? It might be due to a poor paste.
Your stress test temperatures are within normal ranges. There’s no chance he’s experiencing 43°C during any full core stress. Even with liquid loops, reaching that temperature would be difficult because liquid temperatures will stabilize in about half an hour, and as they rise, the CPU temperature will also increase since the liquid can’t absorb energy as effectively.
YouTube videos tend to favor their own content, highlighting only what’s feasible under ideal conditions. They won’t reflect realistic scenarios unless everything matches perfectly—something nearly impossible given the countless variables involved: ambient temperatures, running applications, background processes, airflow in both PC and room, fan curves, power settings, BIOS configurations, voltages, PSU efficiency, outputs, and many other factors.
In short, treat YouTube information with caution; it’s just opinion, not definitive truth.
