5600x cooling with a wraith prism?

[Weepete]

Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice on cooling. I Just got a new PC for my daughter, who has discovered gaming in the last couple of years and decided she wants a desktop for her birthday. I specced out a prebuilt and upgraded the parts I thought needed it:

Asus B550-E Gaming mobo (wi-fi)
Ryzen 5600x
16GB Adata 3600 CL18 RAM
1 TB Seagate Barracuda M.2 SSD
Gigabite Vision RTX3060 OC
Corsair icue 4000D RGB case
Wraith Prism RGB CPU cooler

I wanted to check it was running ok before I gave it to her, so after an initial boot identified some minor issues, I flashed the bios to the latest version, turned on XMP profiles, installed the usual programs (cpu-z, hwinfo 64, CB amongst some others) and benchmarked it with CB R23.

Seems to idle a little hot at 38°C but temps while CB was running multi core never got above 64°C.

Turned on PBO and ran it again, this time with temps going up to 81.5°C but scoring increased in CB nicely so looked like it was boosting ok. Score was 11557

From what I've read these temps seem ok to me, or should I get a better CPU cooler?

Seems fine especially for gaming which won't stress it as much as cinebench.

You can probably bring temps down a bit while increasing cinebench scores by setting a negative offset in curve optimiser.

Thanks mate, that's really useful. I've not tried the curve optimiser, though I've heard of it being mentioned. Might be tine to check it out!

You wont have any issues with those temps at all. 38c on idle is very cool. My 5900x idles around 40-50c with an AIO.

If your worried about temps and your case has the space you could always pick up an AIO for not much money.

Is the switch on the Wraith Prism cooler set to H or L fan speed?

Thanks mate, I'd prefer to stick to air cooling for this one as my daughter hasn't had a desktop before and air cooling is very reliable. That's good to be re-assured about the temps, I'll be happy sending it away with her now!

Thanks mate, I had to google that to see where it was. I'm guessing it was on high but I've put it back in the box now, so going to wrap it and I'll check when she opens it!
