[SOLVED] Wondering if this idle temps are normal or if i should be worried ?

[wachon1992]

specs:
rx 570 4gb
ryzen 5 2600 ( with the 1600 cooler ( wich i believe is better ? ) )
16gb ddr4 3400 ram
psu evga 60w bronce
motherboard prime b350M-A
hdd1tb ssd 500 gb ( i dont even know if this stuff matters anyways )

so the issue i was having is i google from time to time the temps of other ppl setup and their idle temps are waaaay lower than mines so it started to concern me. my gaming temps are " fine " i think for my setup and the cheap cooling system i have.

this are the idle temps with nothing open, no discord no chrome no games and i left it like this for couple hours since i had to leave

this are my temps playing my main game world of warcraft, yeah game is old af but its still demanding as hell and very hard to get stable 60 fps in raids or content with alot of stuff going on.

Idle temps are very much influenced by environment temps and GPU even more with temps in the case. While case temps also influence highest temps (parts can't be cooler than air they are cooled with) it's percentage is lower with higher parts temp.
If your GPU (like mine) has 0% fan speed under certain temperature (mine for instance starts at 55c, otherwise it's stopped) and it doesn't start at your idle temp then everything is fine.

well my case is quite cheap in terms of cooling i think, it just has 1 to push air in and 1 out, they are quite big though. the top part is also all open with holes and some magnetic thing that prevents dust from coming in and if i put my hand ontop i can feel a breeze of cold air.
outside temps are around 10-20 depending on the day, inside its probably a bit higher i suppose

the thing i was concerned is my fans seem to start when gpu goes to 50° and at idle its around 50-51 wich makes fans be on all the time till i shut down the pc but idk if thats no biggie or i should do smthing. the gpu has few years now and i havent actually changed the thermal pads or paste, i was afraid to open it up and <Mod Edit> up something

No biggie if fans are running, specially at slower speed, they are made for full speed and years of use. Main reason for stopping them is to cut down on noise. Only red flag is overheating at full load or gaming. .

You are fine for temps. Ryzens run high at idle, 40 is quite normal, and 63° under a gaming load is quite decent. I would lower some graphical settings a little, at 100% utilization your fps limit is stagnant and changes with spell affects like bloom or lightning will drop fps like a hot potato.

so i tried again with another game and i also added record/streaming. it seems like the cpu starts to work more with genshin impact but the gpu stays very close.
first image is just playing the game and second one is recording/streaming.

i watched some other ppl streaming/recording the same game with medium presets and their temps were quite similar as mine, would it hurt any of my components to be recording or streaming for long periods of time at this temps ? i really dont know wich are the highest temps and when its danger zone temps, i tried to google but ppl say different things

82.5 is a little warm for a Ryzen, but not dangerously so. The Ryzens protect themselves at the expense of performance.

For example, in the first pic, your cores were seeing 73° and if using 4 cores they'd be at max boost 3.9GHz, all 4. In the second, that's 83°, so you'd see 1 core at 3.9GHz, maybe 2 cores, but the rest would be at 3.8GHz or 3.7GHz. The Ryzen will downclock the boost slightly in order to keep temps in check.

That's the biggest reason for keeping a Ryzen cool, not because of dangerous temps, the stock cooler guarantees that'll not happen, but the loss of performance as temps rise past 60°.

Your temps are fine, you can run stuff like that for months, ppl often do with folding@home projects etc.

Those look like pretty normal temps to me. And no, no damage to be expected there.
