[SOLVED] Are those temperatures decent? CPU stress - Aida64

[footballvideosofficial]

I ran a CPU stress test with Aida64 (CPU/FPU/cache/system memory at the same time) for 15 minutes.

The first 5 minutes the temps were slowly going up, however the last 10 it capped at 83-84c. Max was 84 celsius.

My question is, is that a safe temperature? I have got a non-OCed Ryzen 2600 with stock cooler. I also only have 1 exhaust fan and soon will be installing two more intakes at the front. Do you think that might help?

And are those temperatures OK?

What are you ambient room air temps? That max temp looks fine for that stock cooler. You could see what temps are when gaming or regular tasks, both min and max. Make and model of your case and the sort of fan mounting locations the case has? Perhaps you can benefit from adding a case fan to the front of the case, set as an intake to bring in cooler ambient air for the innards.

I mean I guess it depends on the game, but I have never exceeded 73c when gaming. Average is 55-60 but CPU is not being used fully, perhaps 50% or so.

Not quite sure about the ambient temps at that time, perhaps like 23? 24?

The stock Ryzen coolers weren't designed for that kind of abuse. Get another cooler if you want to play with these kinds of applications further.

Aida64 (CPU/FPU/cache/system memory at the same time) for 15 minutes.

Too many boxes checked. Aida will run through one test at a time, and each one will run for several minutes at a time.
You stopping the test at 15 minutes means only the Cpu test had a chance to finish.
Aida64 isn't that good for testing cpu cooler thermals. It's best to run only one for 15-20minutes, but:
-the cpu only test is rather light, and so is cache only.
-FPU only is a bit too hard, but it's the only one that actually pushes the cpu.

Both Prime95 and OCCT are better for testing cpu cooler thermals, but I wouldn't worry about running any of the 3 apps for now.

You think I should run only FPU then and see what I get?

I could get a new cooler but my budget is a bit tight currently. I ordered some new intake fans though, hopefully that helps a bit.

Ι don't plan on overclocking my CPU at all in the future (have had it for 2 years now and never thought about it to be fair), I just game.

To answer the original question, any temperature is safe as long as it's below 95C, which is the maximum limit AMD defined for the processor. Even if it gets there, the processor will start dropping clocks until the temperature goes down.

No, you shouldn't do it at all. The cooler wasn't intended for that kind of use.
Your gaming thermals are fine and acceptable with that cooler. Game on!

Ideally, downdraft coolers should have a side panel intake, or at least a vent over them, followed by rear and top exhausts.
But with the trend of tempered glass side panels, downdraft coolers get screwed; they end up breathing in the gpu's exhaust instead. It's usually not an issue, but most downdrafts don't have a high capacity for heat.

Less temp readings and more gaming. If we only had a dollar for every TEMP CPU thread..................

I personally have no glass at all, just mesh. I have got Cougar MX330-X:

Thanks everyone for the responses regardless. I guess I will be fine for now.
