Hi, yesterday I bought a Ryzen 7 5700X, to replace my R5 3600, works great, no major issues.
I have a ROG Ryujin 360mm, which is mounted on the top of a H500P Mesh , cooled by 3x CoolerMaster ARGB MF120 HALO fans, with all 3 of them being exhaust, all 4 (if you include the rear exhaust one) being set to 60%/ or 1950RPM and the EMBEDDED MICRO FAN on the ROG Ryujin is set about 2200RPM / or about 40%, on the front i have 2xCM SickleFlow 200mm fans.
Now the thing that "bothers" me is that my idle temps are going from 42C to 72C, like for example at 12:52 i looked at hwinfo64 and the temp was 45C, at 12:54 it was 71C, then it goes back to normal, while i only have 2 Opera GX tabs open. While gaming, typically FH5 or GTA 5/LoL, it doesnt go further than 70C, which im happy about, but its still weird that it sometimes idles at 70C!?!?
Now this might cuz of the fact that I have a $1 thermal paste on it, just to survive until monday, when i will receive my Noctua NT-H1, which I think will sort things out. But as you might know, the top of a h500p is covered by some acrylic panel, its not open mesh, like in the front for example.
Now im thinking of doing some DYI work, removing the top acrylic panel, and making my own mesh one, like I did on my older case.
Or it could be that the AIO is old and the liquid in it is trash and i need to buy a new AIO 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
So do i need to change my fan config a bit or is it something else??
Thanks in advance!!!
