Hi all,
Today I installed my new Ryzen 5 3600 with the stock wraith stealth cooler. I did some benchmarks in GTA V and played a little bit of Assassin's Creed Syndicate and I've noticed that the CPU temperature tends to jump quite high. In AC it stayed on 75 Celsius, but when I did the GTA benchmark, it jumped up to a whopping 87 before settling to a fix 78.
I installed a new thermal paste on it instead of the stock one (Arctic MX-4) and followed every procedure of the cooler installation. My room temperature is roughly 25 degrees. The ventilation of the case is okay, I have both an intake and exhaust fan installed (120mm). I have no idea why it could be this hot. Maybe I need a better cooler? (Which is weird given the fact that I only heard positive about the stock AMD coolers..)
After this, now that I've started playing for longer periods, the PC shuts down unexpectedly. I have a new Corsair RM650x, so I doubt that the PSU would cause it. I started monitoring the CPU temp after the first shutdown, but I haven't noticed anything extremely high (like 90). For whatever reason, it shut down a second time as well. That was when I decided to remove the side panel and put a ventilator next to the PC. It didn't shut down ever since (~40 mins in-game), so I think it will be a temperature problem.
What could it be? Is there any way to monitor other devices as well? I have a 1070 FTW from EVGA, which never goes above 70-75 degrees, so that's out of the question as well. What could I do to fix/investigate this?
