Should i worry about the vrm temperature?İ am planning on switching to b450m in 1.5 years .Should i worry about the Mobo dying in this time frame?
 
Solution
Thanks for the answer mate.My CPU also stays around 65C at idle.Do you think this is because of overall bad cooling or is there a chance my CPU could be faulty?I got 1 intake and 2 exhaust fans with the stock AMD fan.
65C is not bad at all. Ryzen works a bit different, especially 3rd and 4th gen. It boosts aggressively from 'idle' and when it does the core that boosts will spike up in temp. Since Windows is very frequently running a background process it will spike up with that process. And since it's highly localized (just one tiny part of one core) it's not significant thermally either.
No worry, you can't OC or push 3600 too far on that MB anyway. A decent case cooling should be enough.
Ryzen 3600 doesn't take more power than any APU.

65c at "Idle" is a high but not dangerous. Maximum temp is more important, for best performance should stay bellow 70c at high loads.
Idle is a bit "stretchy" term, I wouldn't consider Idle over 1-2% CPU usage.
If you use Ryzen Master in Advanced Mode, you should be able to see which and how much each core is under load and which drop frequency to some minimums bellow non boost speeds and which ones are in "Sleep" state.
