The temperatures are too high for your preference.
The 3800X is generating more heat due to its higher power consumption and possibly less efficient cooling compared to other models. Its idle and browser temperatures stay within a narrower range, while under load they spike significantly. The increased airflow settings help manage heat but can also contribute to temperature fluctuations.
It runs at a higher frequency. The transistor count is slightly increased due to smaller die sizes, which boosts transistor density. Your temperatures remain within normal ranges. Be cautious if you notice readings above 90°C.
Are there alternative methods to keep idle/browser temperatures under 50 ℃ without relying on the Energy Saver Plan? With the Ryzen Balanced Plan, AI Suite, hwinfo, and Task Manager, cores stay at 4GHz+ with voltages between 1.4V and 1.48V, rarely going to sleep with just 2 cores. Ryzen Master suggests running at 1-1.5GHz, which seems challenging at 55℃. The Energy Saver Plan reduces cores to about 2GHz, dropping temps to 40-45℃ with cores sleeping below 1V and up to 6 cores entering sleep mode.
The XFR boosts work on a single core, which can show higher voltages. Most additional SMT threads are halted during these boosts, keeping current limits safe. This means it's secure and usually runs at idle warm with balanced or performance settings. These chips naturally stay warm in idle mode, which isn't always ideal but can be beneficial for some coolers that perform better at higher gradients. You might adjust fan curves via BIOS or manually set them through the BIOS menu. Press F6 to reach the maximum input of 75°C before reaching 100%. The CPU temperature warning triggers at 70°C, causing the fan to run at full speed. There are a few methods to manage this. Consider using power-saving modes or find the optimal setting yourself.
