I have a Ryzen 3600 in a Fractal Design Core 3500 case, a Hyper 212 Evo heatsink with a Noctua NF-P12 a fan, and one intake, one outtake case fans that are Noctua NF-P14 both.
I'm messing around with temp monitoring and fan curves and stuff since the fans are new, it's getting hot and i never cared much about temps before. My fan curves are high, but they are pretty silent and I get CPU idle temps of 38-39 when in idle shortly after boot and until i start playing games. Once I do, though, and turn off the game, even after minutes of idling the CPU never goes back to 38-39, it stays at 42 or so - which is now 48-52 while writing this post.
Why is that? Shouldn't the whole heat caused by gaming get dissipated and the system return to its baseline of 38-39? Is it normal for some heat to not be dissipated (meaning "idle after boot" temps aren't achievable outside of right after boot) or does this mean there's something off with my cooling?
