Unexpected heat increases Rapid temperature changes observed
Temperature jumps during playback are unusual for air cooling, especially with a cooler like the Gammaxt 400xt. Upgrading to a liquid cooler could help stabilize temperatures and prevent spikes.
I know amd uses 7nm so its very compact. I went from a 2700x to a 3600 and I noticed a lot of temp spikes and turns out thats normal. What I did to help remedy it was to set an offset on the voltage since mine was push 1.38 V on the performace tab in Ryzen master. I then ran into a good guide to overclock on ryzen master at 4.3 GHZ and just set the max voltage to 1.2 and that lowered my temps from around 43 idle watching a video to 38 degrees. Might be a good idea
The pattern you're observing is typical for Ryzen 5000 series processors. It's not related to air cooling but rather how the CPU functions. During performance spikes, Ryzen may increase voltage temporarily. If the workload changes—like when Windows updates—CPU boosts can cause a noticeable temperature rise.
