[SOLVED] Do i need a new cpu cooler??

[Jakeridgeway31]

Hi, i am currently using a ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler, since purchase i run idle temps of 50-65 degrees and i wonder why this could be? I have used ryzen master and set max clock speed to 3600 and my peak core voltage to 1.125, it has decreased my degrees to a usual 50 degrees.
On a stress test, with 100% cpu utilization, i go up to about 70 degrees.
Few questions:

1: Would a AIO help?
2: Is 50 degrees idle that bad?
3: Is there anything i can do in my bios to decrease the temperature
4: Is my stress test of 70 degrees a example of how hot it will run while playing games like modern warfare or will it likely go higher than the stress test?

1)Yes and no.
Yes, because you should see lower thermals. No, because the thermals you're already seeing aren't dangerous or degrading to begin with.

2)For Ryzen 3000 and later, no.

3)Voltage, or Vcore offset mode, with a value like 0.01v.

4)I don't know what stress test you ran, so I have no idea.

Your temperatures are what you should expect with the stock cooler. Some people go to 90C with that stock cooler. You undervolted so you're seeing better temperatures.

You gimped your chip setting it to 3600Mhz max you want it to boost as high as possible for best performance. 70 C isn't bad at full load, although what test was that?

Better to get an aftermarket cooler than lose 15% clock speed IMO. An AIO seems unnecessary when you could get a Noctua NH-U12S or NH-U14S either of which would be plenty of cooling for a 3600.
