Question ryzen 5 3600 temperatures

[Mockss]

after putting in my ryzen 5 3600 with the stock cooler ( wraithe stealth ) i noticed my temps were kinda high. when on my home screen the temps are around 50 degrees and when i was playing rainbow six siege it would be sat from 70 to 85 with a random spike hitting 93 which really caught my attention as this is stupid high. when i was playing Fortnite it sat around 70 degrees which i thought was normal. i have resat my cooler twice and it stayed the same. is there anything i can do because even though im considering buying the hyper 212 im sure i would need a new motherboard for it.
i will leave some pictures so someone can tell me if it will fit.

This is 73 with the front panel still off? That's not terrible for the stock cooler, and a better cooler will certainly yield results. But without good airflow, a good cooler cant properly function, as you've already proved with your current setup.

If worried about kicking your case, dont get a case with a glass panel. Plenty of good airflow cases on the market with plain aesthetics.

yeah i was just looking at nexus and the case reviews are good , ill consider buying a new one , ill just have to push my case as far back as it will go for now

Moved my case , My panel is off and im going to try and use my cpu under load too see if it helps

Update , temps are cooler for sure.

Problem with case is it has little airflow cause of plastic front instead of mesh.I personally had a similar problem with the stock cooler on my 2600.Even though i had mesh front the stock cooler would go up to 82c so i got a cheap aio and she's good now.I have never seen her go over 51c when i do intense gaming which are not a lot though.

so your suggesting i get an aio instead of a new case and i will be okay?

I had the same problem with my Ryzen 5 3600x. Turned out that updating my BIOS and especially the chipset drivers vastly improved my temperatures. The config that came with my board (MSI b450 Tomahawk MAX) was pumping voltage too high.

It won't work miracles; the stock cooler isn't great, and if you have restricted airflow in your case then you still want to address that. But I'm blown away by how much difference I got from software in this instance. AMD's implementation of its boost mechanism on Ryzen 2 (and/or its interaction with the Windows Scheduler) is still a little raw.

Newest chipset drivers for b450:

Good article on and discussion of boost clocks and power plans: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-plan-for-ryzen-3000-zen-2-processors.260768/

You also most likely want to turn off Precision Boost Overdrive, as the potential benefits don't seem to be worth the cost, even with excellent cooling.

For context, I'll give you a breakdown of my temperatures, before and after updating the software:

Old, stock cooler (Wraith Spire), PBO disabled:

• Idle temps = anywhere from mid-40s to high-50s degrees Celsius, with small bursts over 60. There will always be fluctuations because of the way Ryzen boosts.
• Prime95 Small FFTs Torture test: ~90 degrees Celcius after about 5 minutes (I was too chicken to keep going)
• Encoding a video in Handbrake - ~82 degrees
• Cinebench: ~81 degrees multicore, ~65 single core

New drivers, same cooler, PBO disabled:

• idle temps = mid-30s to high 40s.
• Prime95 Small FFTs Torture test: 82 degrees
• Encoding in Handbrake: 77 degrees
• Cinebench: 77 degrees multicore, 61 degrees single core

Performance is unchanged. The Cinebench score actually went up a little bit, and average boost clocks appear to be identical under various loads. I'm still going to upgrade my cooler, but the new temps are at least acceptable, whereas my first reaction was that the stock cooler is trash.

(There are also a number of people out there complaining about super high temps on Zen 2 with aftermarket coolers; I imagine this voltage/boost clock issue is the culprit, not the strength of their cooling solution.)
