Hi Dexter9995,
I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x, and AMD recommends and AIO (All in One) water cooler or a good air cooler for this one. I would recommend a good water cooler. I like Corsar. NZXT does a nice job, but their software gives information to them. If you prefer air cooling, I would look at the Noctua NH-U145 (should be compatible). Either will keep your temps much lower. I overclocked all cores of my 3950x to a comfortable 4.2GHz and it runs around 43C just having my programs open. This is with a beefy video card as well (EVGA 2080Ti), which probably contributes to the higher temps. Under stress testing, I don't hit over 74C at 100% on all 16 cores.
Another thing you may want to consider, and I can look it up as well. Some motherboards are running the voltage high on some settings. There are some things I'm not sure apply to your motherboard and CPU, but you may want to look into them. On YouTube Jayztwocents - "Is Your Motherboard Trying to Damage Your Ryzen CPU?", and "Overclocking with a stock air cooler", even if you are not going to overclock, are good videos. He shows (and I has the same motherboard that I'm using. I believe this has been fixed on my motherboard in a new BIOS, but I caught a couple of other voltage settings going higher as well. Check it out and if you have any questions, I would be happy to look into your particular CPU voltage specs and motherboard to see if there may be an issue. I have an ASUS motherboard. I previously had an ASRock motherboard. Those two are my favorite MB brands! So I saw this and thought, check the voltage settings. Your motherboard could be using more voltage than your CPU needs. I don't know, because I would have to see your motherboard work and what it is trying to use.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your response
I'm a newbie, what all info do you need I'll post em .

Is your motherboard trying to damage your Ryzen CPU?
