Question Ryzen 5 3600 overheating

[Cybereign40]

My cpu has been overheating for a while now, but it’s been getting worse lately and it shuts down while playing games like Minecraft and rainbow 6
I have updated the bios and the chipset but it hasn’t helped
I am using the ryzen stock cooler
My idle temps are 40s - 60s

Also I have a phanteks case with 3 fans, 2 intake and one out

The stock cooler is plenty enough for that cpu. I'd remove it, clean the heatsink and reapply thermal paste as a first step. Usually sets it right

Ok great thanks

not sure if I changes anything but when I first built my pc it was overheating and reapplying thermal paste didn’t really help
I fixed that when I bought a third case fan

Is good info but I'd still try that first. Easiest first before going crazy in other ways.

Thanks this is really helpful

Is the CPU overclocked in any way, e.g. PBO enabled, manual Vcore increased above stock, etc? If so, disable the overclock.

What speed profile are you running on the CPU fan? Try increasing the CPU fan speed to maximum.

If the CPU heatsink has been installed for several years, are the vanes clogged with dust?

I don’t think I have over clocking but there is a lot of dust in the fan so I’ll clean it out thanks

You definitely need to increase the CPU fan speed profile from its current state. It's way too slow for effective cooling at the setting shown in your screen shot. It might work on a 25W CPU but not on a 65W 3600.

Your current BIOS settings for the CPU fan are like a car driving through Death Valley in mid-summer, with three quarters of the radiator covered in cardboard. You just aren't getting enough airflow through the cooling vanes.

Cleaning dust off fan blades will make very little difference to the cooling. As I said before, check the vanes of the CPU heatsink (not the fan blades). Remove the CPU fan. If a thick layer of fluff covers the heatsink vanes, this will significantly impair cooling.

A few minutes playing with fan profiles in the BIOS should make a big improvement in cooling. If you don't want to touch the BIOS for some reason, spend $120 on a Noctua NH-D15. This heatsink is so big it might even cool your 3600 passively with both fans switched off.

Ok thank you
