[SOLVED] CPU Temp Spiking

[coneil3822]

I have just completed a new build and configured the fans for PWM, after i installed windows and drivers i kept hearing the fans rev up so i installed hwmonitor and it shows that every 30 seconds or so the CPU Temp would jump 5 or 10 degrees and causing the fans to speed up, any help? Thank you!

CPU Is 3800x

I think for Ryzen 3800x jumping 5-10C is normal, you should change your CPU cooler Curve, not to be spiking suddenly too much. But with such a CPU i'd always go for aftermarket cooler!

That's normal for Ryzens, but use Ryzen Master instead of HWMonitor to monitor temps.

Thank you! You have eased my mind, im using an aio cooler, should the fan on the radiator be using the cpu and a temp source?

I set static voltage profiles for my fans so they always spin just below audible sound...I think 7.2v for each fan. You can set a dynamic profile for the CPU fan that gives a different fan speed based on temp...for that I set mine to 100 at 70c and a scale down from there that has a 50% fan speed at 60c. It's user choice really on the fan speeds...having an AIO water cooler helps if noise is an issue.
