Hello everyone
to start i'll start by saying I've not used a amd cpu since the early 90's but I may have a problem with my cpu.
its a ryzen 7 3800x
not sure the graphics card i want to say like an rx570 or 580
16gb of ram running at 3000mhz
240gb ssd for the os system
8tb drive for everything else.
its using an old thermal take dual docking bay case, the case has been good and still works well (the docking bays had/have issues but I don't use them). there is 3 intake fans in the front, one exhaust fan in the back, and one large 240mm exhaust fan on top.
it worked great on my old pc setup (2600k intel chip) and kept the idle cpu temps in the 30's and full load around 80
due to my lack of usage I am not sure what temps the amd cpu should work at.
idle its in the high 40's to mid 50's which seems very high to me, under load its at 78-80 but its also not over clocking as fast as it should, think their base speed is 3.9ghz and boost to 4.5ghz my boost goes to 4.05ghz but never higher and i think it has something to do with the cpu temps which is then causing it to have to work longer than it should doing video work.
its got the cpu cooler recommended but I am thinking I might need to pull it and reapply the thermal paste, it came with.
its own thermal pad but with those idle temps it don't seem right
the rooms normal ac temp is around 25-26c
what are yall's opinions on this, does my thought sound about right that the thermal pad is just not doing the job good enough?
