![]() ![]() My memory isn’t great but I’m almost positive the cpu came with thermal paste already applied, I just bolted the stock cooler on. My computer is less than a year old, checked a month ago and no dust build up anywhere. After optimizing the PBO settings (there’s youtube videos how to do this) I now normally run in the low 70’s while also getting improved performance.įirst, thanks for all these responses, more than I expected. For example, initial testing of my 5800x with stock settings I was getting temps around 90C. Undervolting with definitely lower those temperatures. You probably can get acceptable temperatures with the hardware you already own or by adding another fan or two to your case.Īnother alternative is to optimize your PBO settings to make the CPU run better where this often happens when you undervolt the CPU. Maybe improve the case fan placement as well. ![]() In addition, make sure you have good airflow in the case. I would check my fan curves in the bios and make sure the fans are running at 100% when you get above 85C. But you don’t have to lower it a lot according to AMD. With that said, you seem to be on the limit so I would try to lower it some just to be safe. So the newer CPU’s have different design temperatures than past chips and you therefore can’t evaulate them according to old rules. I want to be clear with everyone that AMD views temps up to 90C (5800X/5900X/5950X) and 95C (5600X) as typical and by design for full load conditions." (Possible next step: Redo your cable management - on one of my first systems the cabling was so bad it actually prevented airflow)Ī quick google search turned up this article with an inteview of an AMD guy. (Possible next step: Add another case fan, either intake or outlet, depending on your case’s shape and the most likely dead spots where air is not moving) Next step is to re-apply thermal paste (clean it 100% and ensure full die coverage - watch some vids if you’re not practiced) If it is jammed with dust that alone is enough to raise temps. Next step is to remove dust from your stock cooler’s radiator fins. Both scenarios will prevent airflow over the CPU and increase temps. It’s totally possible you have all fans pointing in, or all fans pointing out. The first thing to do to improve your thermals is check your fans. ![]() Thanks for any comments/suggestions.Ĭinebench 23 stabilized at 66’C CPU package temperature on my Ryzen 7 3700X as measured by HWMonitor.ĥx 140mm intake fans (three of which PWM) I hope this is clear though it took me quit awhile to formulate this question. This seems to imply my cooler didn’t transfer the CPU heat to the inside of the case as one would expect (wouldn’t we?) and therefore suggests I do indeed need a new CPU cooler. But is it over stressed or not, since it’s still capable of running? Strangely however, although my CPU fan (on the stock Ryzen cooler) was also maxed out the entire time, all three case cooling fans hardly rose at all (even though on default program curves). When I ran the test, my computer quickly reached 95 degrees and stayed there the entire 10 minutes by throttling down to 4,200MHz. How then is this a stress test? More precisely, how does this tell us anything about whether a computer is overheating (because of insufficient cooling) and therefore slowing down when subject to high loads in MSFS when we’re trying to maximize performance? Wouldn’t a real stress test increase the demand on the CPU until it at least reached its max temperature and started throttling? It never even approaches the 95 degrees limit where the CPU would self-throttle and the clock rate decrease. What he shows is that the CPU quickly speeds up to the boost clock rate but the temperature NEVERS rises above 72-74 degrees and it continues to run at the boost clock rate. At about 7 minutes he tests a Ryzen 5 5600X, the same CPU I have. In the video JayZ describes the Cinebench program as having the ability to stress “any” system but that’s not what we see. I came away with more knowledge and confusion. Mainly in the interest of knowing more about my computer’s capabilities in order to improve FlightSim performance, I conducted a stress test on it per the instructions in by JayzTwoCents. ![]()
