You've just assembled your new setup and noticed it's getting quite warm. The temperatures you're seeing are typical for a stock cooler under light load, but the noise level is bothering you. You're considering upgrading or replacing the cooling solution. Based on what you've shared, it might be worth checking if your current cooler is indeed the right fit for your case and workload. If you're open to it, swapping it out for a quieter model like the Noctua NH-U12A could make a big difference without breaking the bank. Let me know if you want more details!
if your CPU cooler produces excessive noise, consider researching quieter fan options that maintain optimal temperatures. otherwise, you might want to temporarily silence the case fans to assess whether the sound persists.
I think those readings are typical or even great... how do you actually get this data? If it's the junction temperature then it's perfectly normal... if it's the CPU temp then it's a bit warm but still fine, right? Probably means your junction temp is higher too, so that's likely what you're seeing. Got it, you've probably tried adjusting the fan curve settings—Ryzen's default can be quite frustrating... hehe.
I understand. I considered making that change and went through the BIOS settings, turning off all the case fans and applying them. But they didn’t shut down properly—maybe I needed to force the PC with those adjustments? Not sure.
If you're not capping your frame rate, it’s likely a heavy task. In those situations Valorant should perform at its maximum speed until your CPU restricts it. Under that scenario I’m not surprised it reached 75-80 with the Wraith Stealth cooler.
To identify the noisy fans, gently silence each one individually while the computer runs. For fan suggestions, feel free to ask.
I almost didn’t notice the stock cooler, especially at 3500rpm. Your machine should be running smoothly.
The low temperatures aren’t typical. Your 5800X runs between 29-33°C. What’s your idle frequency? Mine drops to 2.196. Don’t stress about 75-80 during games. An engineer mentioned the 5600X can handle 95°C by design—it’s a concerning figure but something we’ll need to adapt to.
