hows my cpu temperature?

[uncommonusername]

It sits around 48 °C while on minimal load. It seems rather hot to me or is that temperature fine? It's a ryzen 5 1600 and its part of my first ever PC build that I finished recently. Also the mobo is usually a few degrees hotter than the cpu. When i put my fans to full speed the lowest the cpu got to was 42°C (45°C for mobo). The hottest I have seen so far is 58°C for cpu and low 60's for mobo. I got 3 fans running (2 are intakes) so im thinking about replacing the stock fan and getting 1 additional fan (my PC case supports 4 fans). I have already spent a little too much more than what my original budget was so im not trying to get a cooler/radiator or anythinhg like that. And one last thing, I did remove the stock thermal paste and used arctic silver 5. Anyway I may be just overthinking it but any help is appreciated, thanks.

Those are good temps I think. I'd wait for another reply

Is it running stock or overclocked? What are your temps at idle? If its 48c at idle then thats a tad high. Check your voltages to make sure they arent high for no reason

Running at atock. 48 at idle and 58 after playing games (but this is most likely higher during gaming). The way I have been checking is by rebooting and checking temperature in BIOS right after gaming, so I say 58 because that is the highest I have caught it at so far.

Also im not really familiar with voltages if you can please explain what you mean. Or are you refering the the psu, maybe I have a larger psu than needed? Its rated 550w

Use something like HWinfo64 to check your temps. It will also list your vcore (cpu voltage). I'm guessing there is something amiss with your setup

Hwinfo64 is showing 45C on cpu while idle. Im still not sure what voltages I should be looking for but found VDD at 0.969v and NB at 0.988v but of course im not sure what any of that really means

Disregard that after reading your msg again did i realize you asked for Vcore, haha I feel dumb

Anyway the Vcore is showing current- 0.520, minimum - 0.472 and max - 1.208
