Question Ryzen 5 2600 running at around 85 whilst gaming

[jjjay21]

I am using the stock cooler and I haven't over clocked, I disabled the automatic core boost and actually "Under clocked" my CPU to 3 GHz to try to lower temperatures. I have two case fans in a push pull configuration. I managed to hit 91 in gta and lowered distance scaling which lowered the temperature by 7c. I hit 86 Average in rust and 71 in CS:GO.

What is your ambient temp?

It sounds like the cooler may not be installed correctly, the plastic cover wasn't removed or the software your using isn't reading the temp correctly.

Ambient Temp: I don't have anything to measure it but it isn't really hot
Cooler is 100% on properly
I don't think there ever was plastic wrap, I had 5 ryzen 5 2600s trying to fix something with my pc not working not one had plastic
I used ryzen master, HSInfo64, coretemp and MSI Afterburner and they all read the same temp

 

[jjjay21]

could the CPU be damaged?

95 degrees celsius is the max so no.

 

[cone.djordjic]

95 degrees celsius is the max so no.

but it's extremely close and dangerous to the cpu, remove the cooler replace thermal paste and put it back.

I've done that once

 

[cone.djordjic]

try replacing the cooler with a better one, it's most likely cooler issue

 

[jjjay21]

the stock cooler should be able to keep it cool to a point people OC to near and over 4 GHz with the stock cooler.
EDIT: It also gives its self around 3 core boost to almost 4ghz without messing with any settings, I disabled it, to lower the temps.

 

[jjjay21]

Lowest Idle was 44c and highest with prime95 was 91 before I stopped

 

[WildCard999]

The temp is way too high, is the CPU new?

Besides incorrect cooler placement I'm not sure what else could be causing such high temps.

 

[jjjay21]

Yeah brand new and the screws do not go in any further

How are you securing the cooler?
Are you securing the screws in the cross(X) formation(recommended)?
Or perhaps one side at a time(incorrect)?

 

[DMAN999]

What is the temperature in the room where your PC is located?
My Ryzen 5 2600 is OC'd to 4 GHz and idles at 29 to 31C with my Arctic 33 eSports Edition cooler.
But my ambient (room) temperature is around 22 C.
Your CPU should not idle at much more than 15C above your room temperature even with the stock cooler.

Whats your case, if its a bad airflow case like the Coolermaster masterbox lite 5 rgb the ventalation is so bad that all the hot air rises and the cpu cooler cannot disperse all the heat. I reccomend upgrading the cpu cooler or case if thats whats happening

An X

My room temp isn’t 30c or 40c so 50 idle is bad i don’t have a thermometer to measure but it’s 20out side

It’s a CiT prism RGB I moved a fan so I had somebody rear exhaust the top of the case was getting hot but that fixed it

 

[WildCard999]

Maybe the fan on the stock cooler is faulty and not reaching the full speed?

Did you make sure to put it on the CPU_FAN connection on the motherboard and not a SYS_FAN connection?

 

[jjjay21]

I took the fan of and it turns out that there was hardly any thermal paste on it, I refit the fan and now i get max 71 on rust (been playing for 4 hours) and I was able to set it to default clock speeds but I will be upgrading to cooler though.

If your budget is around $40-$50 I recommend the products from scythe(specifically the scyhte fuma or the scythe mugen) theyre like mini noctua nh d15s, just a tad louder

I was gonna buy ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE

Both will cool your cpu nicely
