Recently installed an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo, replacing my Ryzen 5 3600's stock cooler. I use this machine primarily for work and gaming. There were several improvements:
(Temperatures measured with Ryzen Master on desktop and MSI Afterburner while gaming)
Stock Cooler:
Browsing the web / desktop: 55c
Gaming: 80-85c range (94c when compiling shaders in MH: Rise)
Cinebench R23: never ran it, as the temps were already sky high
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo:
Browsing the web / desktop: 39-45c
Gaming: 65-73c (in particular, Dying Light 1 runs at 63-65c; RDR2 runs at 65c, but has random spikes at 72c)
Cinebench R23: 75-80c (multicore test)
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo's fan curve: currently set to run at minimum speed to 50°C, then slope to 100% PWM at 75°C .
That said, I'm not sure what the ideal temperatures are supposed to be, as not many people use this cooler. Should I be worried about these temperatures? Are there any other ways to determine whether the cooler is working correctly?
