[SOLVED] Ryzen 7 3700x Temperature Issues?

[michealvjosh]

Hi,

Was wondering if my temps were normal since they seemed a bit much..

Idle : 41 - 44 C
Gaming : 75 - 78 C occasionally jumping to 81 - 84 C - even spiking to 90's during longer sessions (Clock speed of 4.3 - 4.4)
Cooler : Kraken M22 120MM

Note: I've had the CPU for almost a year now, average idle temps have had a small increase as well as gaming temps.

My old temps from a few months ago look like this..

Idle : 34 - 37 C
Gaming : 60 - 65 C occasionally jumping to 70 C (Clock speed of 4.3 - 4.4)

Should I try re-applying thermal paste?

Frankly I'm surprised you had those temps with only a 120 AIO. I had hard time keeping temps between 32 and 72/73c with an 240 AIO and only switching to a 360 did the trick.
Slow increase of temps does indicate paste going bad/dry but partial failure of AIO is not out of question either. You can also make sure pump is running at full speed and check voltages.

Those Kraken M22 are hot trash, that's the problem.
120mm AIOs are frowned upon, but any other model would've been better than that one.

What cooler would you recommend for my CPU? Was already thinking of replacing my Kraken but am not very knowledgeable with coolers.

Almost impossible to say, because we don't have an idea what sizes of coolers your chassis can support.
Also knowing what the ram model is helps too.

NZXT H510 for the case, B450 Aorus Pro Motherboard with T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 2 sticks of 8gb 3200mhz

Oh yeah, air cooler. Wouldn't really bother with an AIO in that one. Ram is low profile at 32mm tall.

Didn't even realize there was a "NH-D15S" was looking at the "NH-D15" and was thinking to myself that there was no way that would fit in my case. I think I'll go for the D15S and put a case fan in the rear of the case.
