Question AMD Ryzen 5800X idle temp 55-60C

[piepkicks]

Hello Guys,

Lets get straight to it my CPU idle temp. is at 60 degrees and that is not normal i think.
I switched case yesterday and thought it might be good to renew my Thermal Paste and thats what i did.

Iused ARTIC MX-4 and have a ARCTIC Freezer 34 but specs follow below.

I'm just wondering if i did something wrong in the process.

MOB: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX
Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 34
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
GPU: 8GB MSI RTX2070Super ARMOR OC

Thank u for listening

Do you have PBO enabled?

 

[piepkicks]

Not to my knowledge.
Where can i check that?

 

[Misgar]

Precision Boost Overdrive is an option in the BIOS which aggressively boosts the speed of the CPU, consistent with the capacity of your cooling system to cope with additional heat. The bigger the cooling system, the higher PBO can raise the clock speed when required.

On modern Ryzen CPUs this means they'll sit at 95C (or 90C for X3D) when you're running a stress test. The Intel i9-13900K runs at 100C.

Check your motherboard BIOS manual for the PBO setting and see if it's enabled. If so, switch off PBO and see if the temperatures drop slightly. There will always be background tasks that heat up the CPU.

I don't have the figures for the Arctic Freezer 34 or the nominal TDP of the 5800X to hand, but some CPUs need a large air or 240/360mm water cooler to tame them. Small coolers result in higher temperatures. If you enable PBO, the 5800X will dissipate more than its standard TDP.

Which CPU are you reffering to? The 7800x (as in the the title) or the 5800x (in your post)? Either way your cooler is a bit light for those CPU's.

You need stronger cooling as mentioned by @Misgar

The 7800x will run as hot as it can to give max performance. If there's thermal room, it will boost higher and for longer. They get hot.

What ambient temp where you are?


What PSU are you running?

 

[Misgar]

The Arctic Freezer 34 is a lightweight cooler with only 4 heat pipes and one fan.

I suggest a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 or my favourites, the Noctua NH-D14/D15

sorry im just dumb i meant 5800x not 7800
im using be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 11 PC Netzteil ATX 750W PSU
as yo @Misgar i checked it and just couldn't find the setting in my bios
i may look forward to buying a new cooler

Yeah, it's just too light for the 5800x. Agree with above, on Noctua. Quality air cooler, if not one of the best out there. You could also go with a decent 240 AIO.

ThaeArctic is a 150w rated TDP cooler. The 5800x is 105w TDP, but can pull as much as 142w at peak boost. You see where, it just falls short of keeping your CPU cooler.

 

[piepkicks]

okay thank u already for the help.
another thing im concerned with is that the spot between CPU and GPU is pretty tight.
Could it be a problem as well ?

 

[Misgar]

Define "tight".

Do you mean "not much room" or "clamped down hard"

It's normal to have high mounting pressure between cooler base plate and CPU IHS.

Most CPU coolers ensure you cannot over tighten the mountings to the extent that something breaks (unless you're clumsy).

its around 2 cm between both components

its around 2 cm between both components

That's not a problem
A good cooler for a good price just make sure it fits over your memory.

[Misgar]

My NH-D15 heatsink gets a lot closer than 2cm from the back of my GPU, if I remember correctly. It fills most of that corner of the case. As long as it's not actually touching anything, I don't worry too much about the sheer bulk.

Okay many thanks to you guys for the quick response and everything
