So I recently just upgraded the processor in my rig from the R5 2600 to the R5 5600X. I am running the same everything else, including the Asus X470-Pro Prime motherboard and the NZXT Kraken X52 AIO cooler. With my old 2600 processor, I rarely, if ever, heard the fans on my cooler ramping up. However, since swapping over to the 5600X I hear the fans ramping up fairly regularly. I am constantly monitoring the temps and the highest I have ever seen my processor get to is 61-62 degrees C, and a majority of the time, depending on load, it's running high 40s to mid 50s. So I feel like it's cooling just fine, but it seems to really fluctuate and even in the lower idle modes, I can hear the fans running.
Is this just normal with this chip? Does it run that much hotter that my AIO just has to work that much harder to stay cool? Would a different cooler net me better results?
