5700x3d low temps

[atthegates]

Have a thermalright assassin king 120 se cooler running with this cpu and it idles in the 30s and hasn't gone over 65 degrees at load. Thought the 5700x3d is supposed to run hot and didn't think a cheap 20 quid cooler would be doing such a good job so I'm worried I've done something wrong?

I know how stupid it sounds as of course it's high temps that are a cause for concern. Just looking for some info as I don't know enough about this stuff and if I'm just being a moron then that's fine as well lol.

Do you live in a fridge or have you underclocked it? Mine idles around 39 and can hit around 60 under load. This is using an AIO. What speed is it running at in Afterburner?

Where do i go in afterburner to check the speed it's running at? Sorry haven't got a clue about this stuff. Don't have it underclocked either. Just put it in the cpu slot and put on paste. That's why i'M so worried now

I just remembered that I previously turned precision boost overdrive off in the bios because it was making my 3700x too hot. Maybe that's why the 5700x3d has lower temps?

PBO does nothing for the 5700X3D. Only CO and BCLK really do anything. If your old chip was being overclocked then yeah it'll get warmer, the 3700x did have higher clocks anyway.

So basically it's fine and I have nothing to worry about?

You may have only paid £20 for your cooler but Thermalright makes very good coolers at affordable prices, quite often massively undercutting the competition. I have their Peerless Assassin SE120 on my 7800x3d and I have yet to see it pass 65 degrees C with a -28 CO.

Yeah I think i'm just surprised that it's giving me those temps without any underclocking or undervolting since that's how most other people seem to be getting good temps with this cpu. Think I just underestimated how good the thermalright coolers are. I used to use the stock wraith prism one and it's so much better than that it's unreal. Unbelievable for 20 euro. As you said they're very competitive in the market.

You could always run something like cinebench and compare results, just to make sure the performance isn’t being throttled somehow.

Yep, probably a good idea to run that

Good to know, thanks.
