Question Ryzen 7 overheating

[EoinBoyle]

So I just upgraded my R3 1200 to a R7 2700 and the temperature are 78°c - 89°c on idle. Just wondering if there is a solution.

[UPDATE] I was using Speccy to monitor my temps but after running core temp, it told me that I was at 34 degrees at idle.

Properly attach a CPU cooler with fresh thermal paste.

I have reatatched the wraith cooler and applied fresh thermal paste yet the CPU is still at extreme temperatures

You may want to look into a better cooler as I've heard many people saying bad things about stock wraith coolers. Are you overclocking? Stock wraith coolers are generally not powerful enough for overclocking so if you are you definitely need a better one. Something like the Noctua NH-D15 or the Dark Rock Pro 4 would be good options.

Is the fan spinning? What are you using to monitor temps?

Does the CPu cooler you used looks like this: https://www.amd.com/system/files/102426-pinnacle-wraith-spire-led-cooler-1260x709.jpg?

If youre using the old R3 1200 cooler it wont be enough for that new Ryzen 7 2700!

Good catch.

I havent overclocked yet but the temps are skyrocketing. I'll make sure to look into a new cooler but I didnt expect the temps to be that high on the stock one

Is the cooler youre using like the one I linked in my previous post?, Or is it the smaller one wraith stealth (https://www.profesionalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/AMD-Wraith-Stealth.jpg)?

If youre using the small one, you can get something like this (https://www.arctic.ac/worldwide_en/freezer-34-esports-duo.html) it will be enough even if you oc your Ryzen 7 2700 a little.

Try using Ryzen Master to monitor the CPU temps. HWInfo is also good but it's harder to read if you don't know the details.
