My Amd Ryzen 5 3600 gets hot up to 90 degrees in warzone at low settings. My cooler is the standard Intel / Amd Boxed cooler. Why is the CPU so hot?
Maybe the cooler is just bad?
In Fortnite, for example, the CPU is only at 70-75 degrees.
Please help me, thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the PC is very new.
Yes, that's pretty hot.
I would take a cooler for the CPU like a Bequiet Dark Rock or Noctua NH U14s.
That is far too warm. I would check whether the right amount of thermal paste was used or whether the cooler is sitting properly because normally the supplied cooler should cool well enough.
Could you be overclocking your CPU?
AMD processors can't have Intel boxed coolers.
The boxed cooler from the Ryzen 5 is good and should cool sufficiently.
Have you ever opened the PC and checked if this is really the standard boxed cooler?
I can't imagine that it cools so bad.
Do you do overclocking?
Otherwise, the thermal paste may not be applied correctly. But since the thermal paste is pre-applied to the boxed cooler, this can almost be ruled out.
Where do you read the temperatures?
Does thermal throttling occur?
95 degrees are really close to the limit. Did you overclock the processor? You shouldn't overclock with the boxed cooler. What does the airflow look like in the housing? Would definitely buy a new cooler, for example a tower cooler from Be Quiet for around 30 euro is enough.
It is too hot.
Check the correct fit and the WLP, of course no OC.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't do overclocking. My PC is only 2 weeks old.
I determine my temperatures with "TechPowerUp GPU-Z"
I've already considered opening the pc but I really don't feel like it will invalidate the guarantee of 2 years if something breaks…
And maybe you can see something through the ventilation slots in the housing?
So AMD is definitely on the cooler.
Thanks for your answer.
I really have no plan of that. In the end, I still break everything. Of course I would like to have a new one.
