I just got a ryzen 1600 cpu, along with the gigabyte ab350m-d3h motherboard, 8gb*2 kingston hyperx fury 2133 MHz ddr4 ram, 600W cooler master 80+ bronze psu and a corsair spec-01 mid tower gaming case. As u all know, 1600 comes with the stock cooler and from the reviews i have watched, it seems to have no temperature issues even when overclocked till 3.7 GHz. But when i push my cpu to 80-100% usage, like while encoding videos to HEVC, temperatures shoot up to 65 and even touch 70 degree celsius. I have not overclocked anything. Is this normal ? Im getting my temperature readings from HWinfo and AMD Ryzen Master, both read the same. So is it a temperature reading issue, as it is still a new CPU and maybe further updates might fix it? Or is it a genuine problem and i need to look into something else ? Thanks for ur replies :)

I wouldnt say its a problem, my R7 1700 is hitting 60oC nearly, water cooled and overclocked.

What are you idle temps like ?

 

Idle Temperatures are around 45-50C. The ambient temperature outside is around 30-35C.
 


Oh, i see. So looks like i need to set the cpu fans to max in the bios. And hey, isnt 70C hot for AMD? I know intel can run hotter, upto even 90-100, but I dont think AMD can. I previously had AMD FX 6300 and its max was around 70C, not sure about Ryzen though
 




RyZen runs cooler, you could try removing the cooler, clean up, and reapply thermal paste, then reseat the cooler, just make sure it goes down flat and stays flat, 1 turn of each screw at a time until they are all completely done, but your ambient temps are quite high too.

Will give it a try too, if everything else fails
 


75c is it's max. 70c is hot and a bit surprising given your processor's TDP but nothing super unordinary. You can also apply good thermal paste to lower your figure by a bit. The paste that comes with Ryzen is too thick.
