Recently bought NH-U12S SE-AM4 along with:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT 12-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM4 105W 100-100000277WOF Desktop Processor
and a
MSI MEG X570 ACE Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Wi-Fi 6 ATX
It doesn't seem to be pressing very hard onto the CPU, saw temps of 175F ..under light load, max temp for CPU is 200F ..according to AMD, 175F is a bit too high, was expecting like 80F idle and 120-140F loads ..it's Hovering between 110 and 130F at idle, doing nothing but opening web pages..
I shut the PC off and took the heat sink off and it didn't appear that it was fully touching to cpu, based on the way the thermal paste was spread, it wouldn't tighten down any further, im using the brackets provided and tightened it as much as possible..
Also using arctic cooling mx-4 thermal paste, which is what I normally use.
But is it normal for it to not seem to be tight enough on the CPU?
Is it normal to get those high of temps with that CPU?
Im not OCing it ...but I had it on normal/auto settings for the CPU.
