Question AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overheating

[Sanideth]

Hey guys,

I have AMD Ryzen 5 5600x with Noctua nh-u12s se-am4 cooler with one NF-F12 120mm fan.

Aorus 570x pro wifi motherboard + CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 + Palit Geforce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming Pro 12GB GPU

I don't remembet my case brand (Deepcool MATREXX 50 ADD-RGB 4F if I'm not mistaken) but it has a glass side and I noticed yesterday, while playing Assassin's Creed Origins that the glass was hot, like really hot, it was uncomfortable to touch.

So I checked the temperatures of GPU and CPU and I think they are too hot.

GPU - 75 celsius (idle: 45)
CPU - 85-90 celsius, even sometimes spiking to 94 (idle: 50-60 after tweaking windows and BIOS settings mentioned below, before was 65-70)

I tried changing the windows settings for power saving and idle temperatures decreased. Plus I changed PBO setting in BIOS from Auto to disabled, but it didn't do anything, temps are the same.

I read lots of threads here and everywhere, but these kinds of temps usually were from the stock coolers, mine isn't that bad I think.

I actually read official AMD statement that 90-95 celsius is ok for these models but I'm still worried...
I mean everything's perfect, every game I tried played flawlessly, without any issues.

Ambient temp is kinda high here, 25, even 30 degrees sometimes but I don't know what to think.

Also I haven't changed thermal paste for an year, but I've read that it's not compulsory to change every year.

I'm thinking to add another fan to the cooler but I've read that adding another fan grants couple of degrees only.

I'm no expert in case airflow, but I have 3 low-end color fans in the front and one low-end fan in the back of the case, maybe that's the case that they are low-end, I don't know what to think anymore.

What do you suggest guys?

P.S Sorry if I made grammatical errors, my English is rusty as hell.

Your temps are fine and will continue for the most part to hit these temps unless your turn off turbo setting/mode it auto oc's the pc as it is used making it run faster and better for certain tasks

Can you elaborate on this turbo setting? Is it similar to BIOS PBO setting?

Wrong.
- The chip's maximum temperatures go up to 95 degrees(exceeding this value will damage the processor)
, it's not healthy for a chip to constantly be at extremely high temperatures. Ideally, the processor would remain between 60-80 degrees while playing games.
If we are going to use the processor at 100% it is completely normal that the temperature values are high.
Besides, it shouldn't even be at those temperatures since we're talking about a 5600X, don't compare that with a 5800X3D they are completely different.
The logic of the 5800X3D due to the 3D technology the processor reaches very high temperatures up to 85 and 90 degrees without problems, the 5600X has no reason to reach these temperatures.

What is your ventilation circulation that you have in your case pc?
- It is important to have a good circulation to cool the components, have something unbalanced that can harm its cooling.
- Maintenance? What thermal paste do you use?
- Is the Air Cooler properly installed?

Your Air Cooler is enough to cool the 5600X.

I would also be in agreement with @th3reaperskullpt here. Spiking up to 95C on a Noctua tower cooler with 2x120mm fans and 5 heat pipes is not within expectations unless the computer is sitting in the middle of an Iraqi desert at the peak of summer under solar load.

I had an Arctic 34 Duo cooling a 5600X and the most the CPU got up to was 65-70C even when my room was approaching 30C.

With its max TDP rating of 129W, the Noctua nh-u12s se-am4 cooler with one fan should be fine for a 5600X with nominal 65W TDP (although this may increase with boosting/overclocking).

I suspect part of your cooling problem is you don't have enough fans sucking hot air out of the case. If your PSU turns off its own fan below a certain power output, you're relying on just one rear panel fan to shift all the hot air out of the case. If the GPU is dissipating 200W (max) and the CPU 65W, with other components that's nearly 300W.

As a temporary measure, simply open the case or remove the glass side panel. If your room gets very hot in summer (above 35C), aim a large desk fan into the computer. Check the temperatures with the case open and if they drop considerably, you haven't got enough air flowing through the case.

Rather than leaving the side open, a good aternative would be to replace the exhaust fan with a high airflow version. They're noisy and expensive, but will shift a lot more air. If you can add a second exhaust fan anywhere on the case, that's even better.

With three (low end) fans on the front, you might have enough air coming into the case.

I assume all four case fans (3 front, 1 rear) are all running at 12V to provide maximum airflow?

In comparison, HWMonitor (not very reliable) shows my 7950X peaked at 233W this morning and 85.5C with a Noctua NH-D15, but it's dropped back to 120W and 80C now. The GPU is running at 160W at 80C and hotspot 91.5C (RTX 4060 at 95% power with MSI Afterburner) and should finish the video render in another 8 hours. I'm not overclocking with CPB or PBO and RAM is stock (no XMP).

Thanks guys for the replies!

I fixed the problem temporarily, by changing in the CPU power management - maximum processor state to 99% (found some post on reddit) and temperature decreased by 20-25 degrees. I mean this sounds ridiculous but it worked and I couldn't tell the difference in performance really.

Did you just modify that parameter, didn't you choose any specific plan?The Energy Plan specifically is to provide more energy to the components + performance, but it does not justify this abysmal increase on temperature.

I've tried that but didn't work. I had to manually change the percentage of maximum processor state
