Ryzen 5 3600 high temps with Cooler Master hyper 212
Hey,
I recently upgraded my cpu ( ryzen 5 1600x) to ryzen 3600 .
I got a solid idle temp with 34c , ingame 50c at top with the old 1600x but not with the new one...
3600 is running constantly with 1.45 core voltage at 4.1 core speed.
Idle temperature between 45c and 60c , ingame runs with 50c-80c.( sometimes it hits 80c but goes down asap.)
I ran AIDA64 program to stress test it for an hour and the temp spikes were even there... it hit 80c like every 10 min , then immidiately went back to 74c which was like the base top temp in that program.
My thermal paste is mx-4 , I never had any problem with it before.
My new pc case is the cooler master h500 with 3 stock fans. Cpu cooler is the cooler master hyper 212.
Whats up with this cpu ? Is it normal that it runs hot like this with a third party cooler? Do I need to check anything in the bios ?
Cpu: ryzen 5 3600
Mobo: b450m ds3h-cf ( newest bios)
Graphics card : rtx 2070 ( newest driver)
Ram : 2x8gb 2666mhz
Psu : SilverStone Essential Gold ET750-HG 750W
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for everyone all the help !
That's somewhat normal now. My 3900X with a 360mm AIO and Kryonaut paste can spike into the 50s at "idle" state sometimes.

Maybe reseat the cooler:CoC_Pill:

Do you have the mesh or acrylic front panel on the pc case?

Is the cpu fan plugged into the right header on the mainboard?

Have you changed the cpu fan curve in the bios?

Did you redo the thermal paste with new cpu? Meaning you didn't pull the cooler off the old cpu and just stick it to the new cpu.

Your video card getting hotter with the newer video card/windows updates?

Did you overclock it?

1. Reseat the cooler, sounds like a bad mount job. If you didn't clean the IHS and just re-used the old paste, there's probably bubbles in the paste that's causing worse temperatures.
2. Did you remember to plug in the CPU cooler's fan?
3. Check the fan curves in BIOS (if available, otherwise use Gigabyte's SIV app)

I do not use any front panel for my case so there is more airflow coming trough the pc.
I did clean off the old thermal paste from the cooler then seated it with the new thermal.
The cpu fan is set correctly .
My video card is running perfectly fine .

Nope , I never overclock anything in my rig.

I will reseat the cooler if its the last thing I can make with it ( I don't think that anything is bad with it since its not my first pc building)
Cpu fan is running normally at like 1400rpm ( at least in bios)

Other than that, make sure the chipset driver is up to date, and use 1usmus' power plan:
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/1usmus-custom-power-plan-for-ryzen-3000-download.html (Make sure you follow the listed BIOS settings and TURN OFF Precision Boost Overdrive if available, it makes clocks and temperatures worse)

Also, make sure load-line calibration settings are set to Normal or Medium for Gigabyte motherboards. Usually helps with minimizing the overshooting of voltage to be on a medium level setting. Higher voltage = higher temperature

I will get back with infos to you . Thanks for your help !

I did exactly everything like it mentioned , but its still the same- 45-55c at idle.
Where is this exactly?

Make sure you reboot after applying the power plan.

Also, LLC settings in Gigabyte BIOS is usually under the Advanced Voltage Settings, at the bottom of that page. If it's not there, LLC can't be controlled for that board.

I will mention that I got around the same bump in temps when I went from a 1700x to a 3700x so you're not alone. I have a Hyper 212 also, but I'm not worried about it pretty much maxes out at around 80. I don't stress test though, but I have have let it run for long enough encoding video to know it's pretty stable.

Strange btw, if I set it to energy saving (windows) option , the cpu idles at 33c which would be my priority...
Also do you recommend to undervolt the cpu to get better temps?

Look at reducing the cpu voltage, 1.45V is on the high side.
