Hi,
I have Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler. I have high idle temps 50-60c and when i start running some softwares it goes to 75c. Why? This temp are not ok. Other have 40c idle temps.... What should i change?

What is your cpu cooling fan speed set at? What is your windows power setting? How many case fans do you have, and speed settings? How warm cool is the room the pc is in?

What is your cpu cooling fan speed set at?

Its spinning at maximum!

Did you build it? Was thermal paste used for cooler?

Having the same issue, high temps but stuck in boost of 4.1ghz

Is your windows power program set to high performance?

Yes, will changing it lower boost, will it still boost when needed?

I'm getting those temperatures too, the Wraith Stealth is only adequate for this chip.

Dont flap about temps, you are using the stock cooler... Ryzen 5 3600 stays at 4200mhz same as mine (something to do with system monitoring apps), it gets hot, ambient temp is stupid atm here in the uk. get some air flowing in the case, i have 6 fans in mine and im getting to about 72 with the crappy stock cooler, i also used the noctua compound what i got with my cooler (waiting for the am4 socket to be sent to me)

Just curious what ram speeds are you using, i use 3200mhz but is only running at 2400mhz, when i use the xmp the cpu dont boost.

Nothing to do with the CPU, but you should get rid of that PSU asap before it burns down your house.

Window high performance setting keeps your cpu ready at its high state ready for anything. So there is no spin up time to wait for. Thus the idle temps will be higher because it is idling at it's high setting. It will still boost as needed, high performance changes other settings too like higher cooling state etc.

Check your wndows power setting, see if it is set on balanced or high performance. If it is on high performance then your temps are fine. If it is balanced then you need btter cooling.
