[SOLVED] System temps

CPU, Ryzen 5 3400G
GPU, ASUS ROG STRIX RX570 OC 8GB
X570 I Aorus pro wifi
PSU, Corsair CX500
2x8GB (16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM 3200mhz
500GB ADATA M.2
500GB SSD

Not being a massive gamer, just had a couple of hours playing pubg and had HWiNFO64 running in the background and it says that both CPU and GPU maxed at 75 C, sound about right?
 
Solution
Temps will depend on 3 things.
Load distribution. How heavy or light is the load on the cpu and gpu, that'll be determined by the actual game itself.
Cooling capacity. Some coolers are just more effective than others, more efficient or just plain bigger.
Airflow. You can have awesome cooling potential, but lousy airflow will ruin the potential, or having lousy cooling can be boosted by excellent airflow.

Most games, mid 70's on the gpu is about right for basic cooling and airflow, they'll range from 60ish to 80ish.

A 3400G is a little undersized for most newer games, it doesn't have the Lcache or threads to easily deal with the code, so tends to work a little harder and therefore warmer. A better cooler than the stock can help...

Start by verifying CPU temps with Ryzen Master. Many monitoring tools are not accurate with Ryzen.

A better cooler than the stock can help. But mid 70's in a basic setup is pretty normal. Ryzen runs better when cooler as the boost is determined by voltage and temps.

Thanks for explaining. I only use to run the 3400G as a home pc/htpc and bought the GPU as I wanted to do a little light gaming. Id like to upgrade it to a 3600 sometime in the near future.

Not a bad plan. Even stock, the 3600 has much more versatility than the 3400G, but for what it is, the 3400G is untouchable, the vega graphics leaps and bounds beyond anything Intel has to offer. Having system ram run the memory side of things is a bonus in that respect.
