[SOLVED] New Ryzen 5 3600 build cooling question

[DFace1_2]

Hello all, first post here.

Forgive me as I've been reading similar posts to this all day but nothing exactly as I'm asking.

Built this today. First time putting a computer together since 2008.

Gigabyte A320m-s2h
Ryzen 5 3600

Bequiet Pure Rock Slim - took three attempts putting this on and cleaning meticulously each time.

Corsair Vengeance 2x8 3200

I'm using my old Corsair SX750M and my old 2gb Hd7850. I won't be using this for games. At most, very intensive audio production and the odd bit of video editing.

Idle temperature is about 50-60° then as soon as I do pretty much anything beyond just moving the mouse, it starts to circle 70°. Is this normal for AMD? I've been using an Intel CPU for ages.

Bios appears to be F50 and I've changed nothing in it whatsoever. Display is at 1080p. Don't know if I need to provide any more details for help!

Thanks in advance

What are you using to monitor temps?

Speccy. Should I try something else?

Try Ryzen Master

Try Ryzen Master

Will do, thank you. Is this likely more accurate? I can hear the fan changing speed quite frequently. Not loud by any means but noticeable.

Ryzen Master is the most accurate, for Ryzen chips. What case do you have?

Is a cooler master something or other. Cooler Master 500 maybe? Bought in 2008 to be quiet rather than cold. And I've got a 120mm fan on the front and one on the rear.

OK, Ryzen Master says it's idling at 38/39 and peaking at about 60 when extracting archives. Is this a bit more normal? I hope so

Yea, that sounds right.

Brilliant, thanks very much for your help!
