Question What kind of CPU temps should I be seeing with a 360mm AIO? I am sitting around 50 C currently with a Ryzen 5

[xnick101]

Do my CPU temps seem high? The current room temp is 25-26C. I have a Lian li Galahad 360mm AIO and my temps are somehow worse than they were when I had an air cooler. The current temps in the picture are after 1 hour of playing call of duty but sitting on the desktop with the game closed now. I previously did not go above 65C with my cooler master CPU cooler which was $25. I was expecting it to be a max of 50c but it normally operates at 50-60C.

Build:
Ryzen 5 3600
32 GB of Corsair Vengence Pro ram
Lian Li Dynamic case with 6 fans as intake
Lian Li Galahad 360mm AIO with fans pointed as exhaust facing up
Gigabyte RTX 3060Ti

I am sure someone will ask. Yes, I peeled off the sticker on the AIO and put fresh thermal paste on the CPU.

You need to give PC more space, if its got intake fans on its right hand side it helps if its got more than a little gap between it and wall. especially if you put AIO on side facing wall.



I don't find any reviews from places I know, or trust. That probably tells me all I need to know.
wonder what GN doing with their fan tester... but I digress.

They aren't Noctua, thats for sure.

Yeah, there's about 5 feet between the wall and the side of the PC.

These fans... kinda suck, don't they?

Any suggestions on good led fans that aren't going to be $200 for 6 of them? Corsair LL120 would be my choice but I don't see any reason to spend $200 on just fans. These cost me $45 and work really well.

Corsair... Hah. They got some pretty(subjective) fans, but they too are on the weak side - excluding the high(2000) rpm ones.


Good and cheap usually don't mix together too well with LED fans; either they perform well and are expensive, or they're cheap and perform poorly. There are not many that strike a good middle ground.
Heck, for brands that have LED and non-LED versions of the same fan model, the LED version is a little weaker and louder than its non-LED sibling.

Here's a couple of recommendations. Hopefully they're available to you: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/FCvqqs,4zxRsY/
