[SOLVED] Brand new computer has 90 degree CPU when booting up for the first time

[chrvejvad]

Hello

I just bought a new desktop (prebuild), it has a Ryzen CPU and a watercooler to make sure that it would run fine.
The first time I turn it on I install speccy to see that the CPU is running at 85-90 degrees. I haven't touched anything, so I'm kind of lost. Is this caused because of a building mistake, or could it be some setting that I don't know of?

There are three things I would look at and I would bet one of them isn't happening.

Either the heat exchanger isn't snug on the CPU (screws/pins loose or not aligned correctly) ....or...

Water isn't flowing through the lines (pump not running....clog etc)...or

Fans on the radiator not running.

And how do I control those things? I just looked at the BIOS and it said CPU temperature to be at 33 degree. Then I downloaded AMD Ryzen Master program, and it said 95 degree again. Programs arent really giving me the same temperatures either, so I'm not sure what to trust.

I trust CoreTemp and HWiNFO64 to give me the right temperatures.

Which Ryzen CPU is it, and what is the motherboard model?

Use OpenHardWareMonitor to monitor your temps you can also control fans with it

I agree with the above. Try new software. Afterburner will work as well and gives you a graph over time so you can see what it's doing.
