Hello, I noticed my Ryzen 5 3600 with default cooler is 60 celsius when WIndows is in idle (not doing anything). Is it too high? Maybe I did something worng while putting the cooler (this is my first build). I also added thermal paste.
Maybe I need a new cooler? Any suggestions? I was looking for this one Cooler Master AMD/Intel Hyper H411R RR-H411
Thanks,
Luiz
60C in itself is perfectly safe, but for idling it seems a little high, though the stock cooler is known to not be able to maintain the 3600 on the best temps. I don't know how it would affect on cooling, but it is general knowledge that you shouldn't mix 2 different thermal compounds.
I'd only get a bit worried if it goes over 85° under full load, its still safe to run it around that but not optimal for the long run.
I also have a 3600, and i personally target anywhere from 30° to 50° on idle, and under full load anything below 80° is great.
You'll probably have to buy an aftermarket cooler if you want to bring the temps down, they're not very expensive (check deepcool 400 if you're on a tight budget, thats what i have) and it'll improve your temps for sure.
