[SOLVED] Ryzen 3600 Idle Temp

[danishfaridi]

Hi Team,
I Just recently buy Ryzen 3 3600 but i am worried about the temperature of the CPU, on the normal work my CPU temperature is around 40 °C to 50 °C and on gaming it goes to around 65 °C to 70 °C is it normal?
Instead of stock cooler i am using the CPU air cooler (AMD Wraith Prism Cooler)
My System Configuration is
Ryzen 5 3600
GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB(8x2)
RM 850x Power Supply
Cabinet Mastercase H500 Cooler master
with 3 Deepcool RF120 mm fan 2 at the top and 1 at the back of the cabinet
Plz Help Guys

Thanks.

Perfectly fine. The 3600 does operate higher at lower loads due to a boost from sleep that hits a voltage into a very small area to boost a core out of sleep and then stabilise.

Either way, at the end of it all, as long as your final temp is below 85 degrees, you're fine. 95 is the thottle for the Ryzen chip, but below 85 is a general rule of thumb to maximise the lifespan on the CPU.

I think those temps are pretty normal.

Thanks guys for reply so the CPU cooler is work fine and no need for the AIO?
and i did not plan of overclock my CPU.

Are you monitoring it with AMD Ryzen Master or something else? I have 3600X and mine was getting 60 degrees (it was constantly working at 4.2 GHz with 1.4xx V) while I was monitoring it with MSI Dragon Center. Although I realized it is not a big deal to worry about (it was getting max 70 degrees while gaming) I turned of boosts (Core Performance Boost and PBO) and now it gets max 52 degrees while gaming. Also some apps to monitor trigger boost easily so I would suggest you to use Ryzen Master (or CPU-Z if you only want to look at clock and voltage)

You're welcome.....and I would leave it be.
Your gaming temps are very good.

Well AIO isn't necessarily better than air cooling.
(You can see point 6 on this guide: Not so obvious custom PC mistakes)

If you're below 85, you're good and i would leave as is.

Also plz guys can you suggest any best Thermal paste for my CPU and what is best method of putting the paste on the CPU?

1. Big dot at the center
2. X design
3. Spread on whole CPU
4. 5 dots

Just one pea sized dot in the middle.

Overall it doesn't make too drastic a difference. You jsut ideally want it to cover the CPU in as thin a layer as possible with minimal air pockets and no contamination so the HSF can sit flush to the CPU.

I would say the X can often leave room for uncovered area on the IHS.
Spread on whole CPU can leave air pockets.
I've never even heard of 5 dots. But doesn't sound too sensible.

As for which thermal paste you use, doesn't overly matter too much. Just get a reputable brand one. Some people actually use toothpaste and just replace it more often.

I am Using (Core Temp) to monitor the temperature.
Is it a good software to monitor the temperature or I need to use AMD Ryzen Master for that ?

For latest Ryzen I would use AMD Ryzen Master or HWInfo, some other softwares have reported some issues with accuracy of reading the 3rd gen.
