Question Ryzen5 3600 temp

[rotary616]

I have Ryzen 5 3600 and the idle temp is around 55c, temp during gaming is around 78c.
My question is, is this too high?
It has stock cooler that came with the cpu.
MB is Tomahawk 450 Max
Case is midtower atx
I have 2 intake fans and 3 exhaust fans.
No overclocking
I would like to upgrade the cpu cooler, any suggestions
would help. I would Like to keep price to $50 usd and below.
Been looking at the Vetroo v5, but open to suggestions
Thanks

No, it's not too high. Keep in mind Tjmax rating for the CPU is 95C so it's running well below the maximum temperature.

That's not saying it's great, maybe not even good, but then you're still using the 'stock' cooler which was only ever meant to be "just enough". Moving to a better cooler may help keep temps even lower. Running lower temps means the processor will perform even better because of the way it works.

The Vetroo V5 may be enough but also make sure your case is well ventilated. It's very common for tower CPU coolers to take in GPU exhaust which kills its cooling efficiency.

The vetroo v5 is definitely decent. I’m actually cooling a 5900x with one and it stays in the low70s under load. I have two fans and am using a push pull setup on mine, and that works pretty well.

Replaced stock cooler with Gammaxx 400 cooler.
Idle temp went from 55c to 34c
while gaming went from 78c to 69c.
Decent budget cooler.
Thanks for the replies.

Haven’t used the gammaxx 400 but those seem to have decent reviews as well.
