[SOLVED] Having issues with Ryzen 5 2600X high temps

[GavinChoinski]

I recently purchased the Ryzen 5 2600X and have been experiencing temps at 70 C when only at 30-40% load. I tried to take off the wraith spire cooler and reapply thermal paste, but ended up with the same idle temps. My Core Voltage is at 1.3 and my Soc voltage is at 1.1. Also I have the precision boost turned off and set my cpu to a solid 3.6 ghz. Somethings gotta be wrong. Can anyone help please I’m stressing out and I don’t wanna have to buy water cooler because I just dropped $350 and the parts to use this Ryzen. Also idle temps are wayy too high. Around 50 C. My VCore voltage tho sits at auto around 1.4-1.5 V.

Your temperatures are not that high really.
I have a Ryzen 2700X with the Wraith Prism stock cooler and it idles around 45c with between 62-75c peaks sometimes for gaming.
You can change your fan curve in your BIOS to a preset one like Normal of a Manual one where you control the temperature/fan speed yourself.
Try changing it to 30% fan speed up to 50c and about 80% up to 65c then 100% at 70c +.

See if this reduces your temperatures at all.

Also for idling in Windows check you are using Windows Balanced Power Plan.
To reduce it further you can select the Power Saving Plan as that reduces my CPU speed to 2200 MHZ on my PC.
You might want to alter the advanced settings of this plan as it turns the hdd and monitor off after a while.

A good exhaust fan will help to get rid of heat in your PC case as well.
