Hey,
I recently upgraded my cpu ( ryzen 5 1600x) to ryzen 3600 .
I got a solid idle temp with 34c , ingame 50c at top with the old 1600x but not with the new one...
3600 is running constantly with 1.45 core voltage at 4.1 core speed.
Idle temperature between 45c and 60c , ingame runs with 50c-80c.( sometimes it hits 80c but goes down asap.)
I ran AIDA64 program to stress test it for an hour and the temp spikes were even there... it hit 80c like every 10 min , then immidiately went back to 74c which was like the base top temp in that program.
My thermal paste is mx-4 , I never had any problem with it before.
My new pc case is the cooler master h500 with 3 stock fans. Cpu cooler is the cooler master hyper 212.
Whats up with this cpu ? Is it normal that it runs hot like this with a third party cooler? Do I need to check anything in the bios ?
Cpu: ryzen 5 3600
Mobo: b450m ds3h-cf ( newest bios)
Graphics card : rtx 2070 ( newest driver)
Ram : 2x8gb 2666mhz
Psu : SilverStone Essential Gold ET750-HG 750W
Thanks in advance.

Those temps are not high - 80C is not bad.
Temperature alone is not enough with those cpus. You have to monitor frequency as well.

Compare:
-thermals and frequency with the stock cooler - if you still have it.
-thermals and frequency with the Hyper 212.

There's been too many threads regarding thermals on these chips even with aftermarket coolers, because they keep getting compared to Intel cpus.
They have more in common with Nvidia's gpus than they do with Intel's cpus.

The voltage may be your problem, 1.45 is really high for a 4.1 overclock. I run 4.1 at 1.325.
