high everyone, im using a ryzen 5 1600 cpu overclocked to 3.8 ghz 1.32 volts of course my temps are higher now, temps range from 32c to 39c idle, and around 50c to 60c under a load. im using a corsair h60 aio liquid cpu cooler. my motherboard is a asrock fatal1ty ab350 gaming k4. I think these are decent temps, but im just double checking. the reason im asking is because I was using the ryzen 3 1200 cpu before and temps on that cpu were cooler, that cpu was also overclocked as well.

Basically your idle temps will be higher even with AoI cooler in order to have a quite machine. It starts to speed up only when ur CPU is under heavy LOAD and really needs to cool down.

Ur idle temps are that high because your cooling pump and fan are going at very low speeds within 30-50c as these temps are completely OK - it is called silent mode - you can have maxed pump and fan settings even when you have 30c (it would result in improving idle temps drastically - maybe under 30c, but that is not necessary and it would only make your computer very loud in every situation even when your CPU is doing nothing), so even if ur idle temps are about 50c - it is completely fine. Only what matters are top long term temps under stress tests /...

Only what matters are top long term temps under stress tests / benchmarks - good CPUs can handle even over 80c. My can handle even 100c when I am testing something, but I have a great chip, I am a lucky one.

50-60c are nothing when under load - good CPU can go between 65-75 without no lifespan degradation. For CPU, risky temps are over 80-90+. So in your case, you are completely okay.

Actually its a shame you cannot OC your CPU. 60c under load is a huge temperature reserve for OC. You could OC until you would get 75c under load and then it would be best you could get out of that CPU.

lol, my cpu is overclocked.
