[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600 temps

[bep1995]

Hello !! I just upgraded to a ryzen 5 3600 (from a athlon ii x4 640 😀) and i want know if the temps are OK. I have the arctic freezer a13x (because the cpu it was a tray version) with mx-5 as thermal paste. My room temp is about 30 degrees celsius and the cpu temps are:

Idle: 37-40
Gaming: 66-70
Cinebench r23: 77-79
Prime95: 84-86

1 Are those temps expected with the freezer a13x or they should be lower ??
2 If i upgraded to a ryzen 7 5800x in 2 years (hypothetically) what temps can i expected from that cooler ?? Or I should go for the freezer 34 esports duo

Those temps are about normal sadly. I was going to say if you are using the stock wraith stealth. But I see you are using the arctic cooler. However, I'm running a 3600 myself.

Here's what I've got on my PC.

I did replace the stock fan with that cooler with one of these, I actually bought a second one to do push pull. Don't ask, I've got a black case with red/white alternating LED fans, and so now I'll have 2 blue led fans on the cpu cooler for the red/white/blue effect.

With the single fan on the cooler, keep in mind I have 6 case fans with a mesh case, I'm idle right now at 47. However, the PC has been on non stop for 7 hours at this point give or take doing a download or call of duty warzone. It can go sometimes closer to your idle temp. Haven't tried prime 95 with it, but cinebench I'm usually topping out at 71-72.

Can't speak to the 5800x, but next year there should be new chipsets and ddr5 out, so you may be looking at those platforms anyway. I have no experience with the esports cooler so I'm no help there.

After I wrote the reply, I ran IntelBurnTest for 10 passes on my cpu and topped out at about 74. This thread seems to have a little info.

[SOLVED] - What are good temps for a Ryzen 5 3600 under load?

My temps in Prime95 after 10 minutes were 75.4c and in CPU-Z 69.3c after 15 minutes, and in Cinebench R15 69.1c. I get max idle temps of 42.9 and min of 32c. I just want to know if these temps are safe, and won't hurt the longevity of the cpu. And what safe temps are. Im running at 4.1GHz at...

forums.tomshardware.com

Personally I prefer temps to be lower, but my cpu seems happy.

Idle are more than normal.
Gaming are okay.

Cinebench R23 and Prime arent a good deal to test CPU temperature because its synthetic benchmark and lets say it Over-does the CPU.
In short you are getting unrealistic temperatures with those 2 programs.

Temperature till 80C-85C are still cozy. (Remember those GTX 480 days)

Lol. You are probably right. I guess I remember the older cpus where 60 basically meant your cpu was overheating.

First things first: Ryzen 3000 have a Tjmax of 95C so anything under that is safe. But Ryzen's boost algorithm really likes temperature in the 70's so that it will boost and give best performance. Modern CPU's report temperature differently as what you're seeing is a 'hot spot', the hottest at the moment of dozens of sensors that are located much closer to the actual circuits doing work. If older CPU's reported the same way you'd probably see something much similar.

Those temps look pretty good for a 3600. Temperature staying in the 70's with Cinebench are pretty much ideal for the extremely heavy real-world workload it represents. Gaming temps are also really good.

Prime95 is completely unrealistic but it's also a true test of cooling; temps in the 80's shows it's still controlled even for that kind of craziness. But it also shows you it's at it's limit. That cooler wouldn't do well for a 5800X but what can you expect of a cooler with only 3 pipes. So yeah, definitely consider going with the ESports Duo.

Also take a close look at your case and it's fan arrangement. No air cooler can be effective if it's left to re-use it's own heated air or use the hot air exhausting from a GPU.

Thank you all for your answers, basically gaming temps with 30 ambient are max 67-68 not 70, the rest temps are as I said. I think as you said that my temps are good.

As for the future, I will probably keep the 3600 for at least 4 years and then I will move to the new platform, with new cooler of course.

Well by then you’ll want to update the board etc. But in the interim you could get the 5800x to work in your current board I think, then sell the 3600.

Currently I’ve got a 3600 myself and just bought an rtx 2070. So that should hold until I am ready to move cpu and ram into a new socket and platform in the next year or two.
