[SOLVED] Ryzen 7 3700x spiking to mid to high 70s when gaming, should i be concerned?

[Blavikn]

Ryzen 7 3700x and RTX3070TI.

Cooler: H60 Corsair Hydro Liquid cooler.

CPU intensive games such as Fortnite and New World. Temps will average in the 50-69 range then spike to 71, 74 or 76 for a second then drop. This is especially evident on New World.

I never let my game spike to 80s and it has a few times hit 81 or 82 on New World and then back to a decent temp. I understand Ryzen chips turbo when doing processes when doing tasks but is this something i should be concerned about?

Perhaps a repaste is needed or is it fine to spike to 80 for a second but just not constantly?

This is my first PC, any help will be appreciated

Still perfectly safe temps and the H60 is a weak cooler so no big surprise it’s hitting 80’s.

What cooler would you recommend?

Really depends on budget, available space in the case and if you want an AIO or air cooler. As you already have an AIO if you want one that can equal a mid range air cooler you want 240mm, something like a H100i.

I'm not so down on a 120mm AIO, not since I put one on my 3700X. It's running a tweaked PBO so it does put out a lot of heat but the cheap and no-name (or nearly no-name) Id-Cooling 120mm AIO I got it under keeps temps in the 70's even encoding long videos.

But then the Corsair line...especially the H60 it seems... is pretty well out-dated too. There are better options out there.

But I agree a 240mm AIO would be best if your case can fit it.
