Hello all,
I just built a pc this past weekend with a ryzen 2600x and an AsRock B450M Pro 4. I am seeing idle temps of around 50 degrees celsius. That dosen't seem normal to me. My computer at work (with an i7 4790) is running at below 35 degrees at idle. For context, on my new build I am running on old gpu (gtx 760 2gb), 2 ssds, 2x8gb of ram (I enabled xmp in bios and they are running at 3200) in a Rosewill FBM-X2 case with one 120mm fan at the back.

- What do you recommend generally besides pulling the cooler off and re-applying thermal paste?
- What should a good temp for this machine be? Just my own feeling is that I should be aiming to keep temps below 70 degrees celsius at all times. Any tips on achieving this?
- I realize I need to buy more fans. My case can support another 2 fans at the front and 2 at the top besides the 1 rear fan already installed. After some research I thought it would be good to achieve positive pressure inside the case. For this I need at least one fan at the front with high CFM. Am I correct about that? I was looking at getting this one https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rfa-120-k-case-fan/p/N82E16835200048 and mounting it at the front of the case. Does that seems like a good idea?
