Hi, i have been using ryzen 2700x with wraith prism cooler since 2018 october, and since then i had high temps View: https://imgur.com/a/t9R4t4y
. This is definitely not normal, i cant even stream using obs(1280x720 output) without game(cs:go) lagging. I did not change anything in bios except ram settings. Thermal paste had been changed 3 times since october. Specs: View: https://imgur.com/a/wlVU6OH
Before this cpu i had i5-3450 with Cooler Master Hyper t2 cooler, temps were perfect. Any ideas what to do to fix these temps?
 
Have you manually overclocked the CPU? Looks like it's attempting to hit between 5.1-5.4GHz according to that HWMonitor screenshot, which is impossible on a stock Ryzen cooler - even exotic cooling isn't likely to push 5GHz on a 2700X

What does RyzenMaster show in terms of clock speeds (sustained) and temperatures?

What cooler are you using? Replace with a larger one. You're 2700x is behaving as it was designed trying to boost and then it's warming up and throttling back.

You can try disabling any boost options in the bios, though that will be reducing the overall performance of the system and also I'd be wondering if there wasn't a problem with the motherboard. If you can rule out any hardware problems then update the bios.

HWMonitor could be giving you some false readings on the clock spd. use hwinfo64 instead it's more accurate.

A 2700X isn't going to push close to 5GHz, nor would it do so (assuming it 'could') if temps were getting that high. Has to be a misread in the software, although the throttling would suggest something is going on.

this was default.

Is that a sustained load, 100% stress? If so, it's doing great!

Everything is jumping. Cpu voltage from 0.8 to 1.49, temps from 55-68c, peak speed from 2.2 to 4.2 on idle. I can try to film it.

No need to film it - idle temps/voltages etc will jump around a bit.

Run a stress test, putting 100% load on the CPU - and see how temps/clocks stabilize in RyzenMaster.
IIRC, RyzenMaster actually has a sort of "test" functionality in there anyway.

Just did one with cinebench r20, max temp 85c and were holding on like that, peak speed was ~3.700, cpu voltage ~1.2, but when testing stopped it started jumping again voltage, temps, speed(till 4ghz)
 
I have a 2700X under a Noctua NH-D15 and it boosts to 4.4Ghz all the time, with a voltage of 1.47 trying to jump to 1.5v and 4.6Ghz (but I already capped it at a1.45v, so it tops at 4.3Ghz).

This is to say: if you let the CPU OC itself, it will try to reach melting point, haha. It's cool that it tries so hard, but you may want to cap the OC with the multiplier to 43 or even 44 (if you want to touch 1.5v bursts).

If you're using an Asus board, then enable the EPU to regulate power control so it doesn't shoot itself on the foot.

Cheers!

What software is reporting that? I had a 2700X under an NH-D15, and HWMonitor would indicate it was pushing >5GHz on occassion.
Actually monitoring with software recording accurately (RyzenMaster, mostly) and 4.5GHz was more in line with what it was actually doing.
CPU-Z (Asus' ROG version) and Asus' monitoring software called AI Suit 3.

I stopped bothering with RyzenMaster as it would crash constantly on me, so I went back to good ol' BIOS tweaking.

Cheers!
