[SOLVED] AMD RYZEN 2600x too hot on water cooling?

[lon3wolf1ee5]

I just upgraded from a AMD A10 6800k to a RYZEN 5 2600x and a water cooler, but my CPU idles around 36° c to 55° c is this at all normal?

What are the load temps, and what are you checking them with? Ryzen master is the only temp program worth using

Idle temps don't tell you much if anything

im using core temp to see what temp it is but doeing a game test it stayed under 70 degrees celcius in csgo on high settings

thats also task manager saying its at 67%

First thing, a water cooler is not better than a Similar sized air cooler. Until you get the water cooler bigger than what you can hang off a cpu as an air cooler it's not any better performance wise.

With that in mind what watercooler do you have?

Usually with a 2600x you can actually undervolt it a bit and lower temps and keep boost clocks same as usual

Its a cooler master lc120e

I dont overclock fyi

Yeah that's about on par with many $30 air coolers so I wouldn't expect any more than what you're getting.


Basically with a 2600x it auto overclocks to 4.0ghz even on all cores with a good enough cooler.

Ok i mean im glad but i do notice it doesnt go anywere near 80 degrees celcius even when under gaming stress and that in my opinion is a good thing

It won't those cpus basically just pick a temp and keep running faster until it reaches that temp. Id still consider undervolting it some as it'll likely speed the cpu up and also lower temps

Will do thaks for your help!
