AMD 5600 running hot with H80i v2

Hi all, so I was running an i7 5820k under an H80i v2 and temps were great - idling at mid 30s.

I have just switched over to team AMD with a 5600 (non-X). To use the H80i, I changed the the retaining bracket and put the standoffs on my motherboard. Running under my H80i I've been getting poor temps. It was running at high 50s.
I figured I put too much paste so I cleaned it off, reapplied and tried again and it was even higher.

I have put in the stock AMD cooler and it's running at like mid 40s (with case door open).

Any ideas? Very weird that the H80i could cope with a higher watt chip and would struggle with the 5600. Seems I'm doing something wrong.

Sounds like the mounting kit is wrong, are you sure you are running the AM4 mounting kit on the H80i?

Good to hear that the AMD stock cooler is working.

It is possible, I got a 3rd party mounting kit for AMD, because the one that came with the AMD kit that came with the H80i didn't actually work (mounting holes in the bracket were off).

Using this mounting kit, I left it in the bios and the chip was gradually rose to 80C (idling).
The cooler seems to be making good contact with chip from.ehat I can tell.from.tue thermal paste.

Very frustrating, I might just sell up TBH. Time I dont have at the moment.

If it hasn't got the correct mounting kit then it's unlikely to have the correct mounting pressure which is why your temps are getting that high whilst idle in bios.

It's an authorized 3rd party kit, whereas the one "correct one" didn't even for correctly (spacing was off). From what I can tell the standoffs are exactly the same height. However you could be right, because these temps are ridiculous with the case panel off.

Weird part is, with the included cooler, it is also hitting 70+ C when idling in Windows (case panel on).

All just seems.off

There's reasons why they provide a diffrent Backplate you should use it.

It didn't come with a backplate.
Also the official one (albeit spacing was wrong) also says to use the motherboard backplate (in the instruction leaflet), so I'm thoroughly confused here.

Will add that the stock cooler is not cutting it at stock either (panel closed), so something isn't right.
Same setup with my 5820k worked pretty well.

Then it's either a really hot cpu mite have to send it back , bad mounting maybe the motherboard bracket is misalighned or settings in the bios making the cpu run hot.

Send it back that’s far to hot with the standard cooler.

Yeh sending it back. Motherboard had everything on auto so assume it should be okay. Maybe it needed a bios update.
 
Sigh, put my old CPU (5820k) and board in and seeing high temps with my AIO. :rolleyes:

Looks like my pump might have failed.
Anyone recommend a good AIO for AM4 chips?

The 5600 is a 65W TPD part like my 5700x, therefore I could get away with using a budget CPU air cooler. I use the Vetroo V5 which costs £ 32.99 and it keeps my 5700x at 57c under Cinebench R23 and up to 64c in Battlefield 2042 at 4K medium settings.

There are better more expensive air coolers which will knock a further 6c or so off those temps but those temps are already decent enough so no need to spend the extra money.

Yeh I could get away with something cheap but thinking I prefer the AIO setup in case I decide to get a higher wattage chip in future - 5800x3D as an example.

I went from a H100i v2 (240mm) to a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm and it was a good improvement but the H100i was a few years old. The 280mm is the sweet spot if it fits in your case, also the price has gone up quite a bit, the 360 was £90 when I got one.

I'm in a Cooler master Q300L so unsure about clearance with a 3080Ti FE.

I think it'll need to be the 240 one or the single rad version.
 
Frustration continues.
Installed the AFii 240mm and while it is better this still seems high.

In the bios from a cold boot I've seen it as low as 32C (side panel off), but more like low 40s (panel on).

Within windows however Core Temp is reporting high 50s, low 60s when idling.

Anyone got any last ideas? Could Core Temp be misreporting the temps anything else I can try?

I am using a 5800X3D and idling in the 30 or 40C’s range (readings using HWiNFO64), with a Arctic 280, using the offset mounting and the TG Carbonaut pad.

Are you using enough thermal paste?

I put quite a bit on, An 'X' across the CPU and then a couple of dots in the gaps too.
Super strange, feel like anymore would be too much.
 
Small update, I think it's a case issue.
With the side panel off I'm able to get as low as 35C idling in Windows. As soon as I try to put the cover on I'm seeing that rise to 50C idle really quickly.

Will do some load temp testing but looks like my case has far from adequate air flow.

I get ~50C in BIOS and 30-50C Idle in Windows depending on room temp. Run CineBench and use HWiNFO64 to get max temp, if it’s under 80C after 3 runs then you should be ok.
If closing the case increases temps, try increase the exhaust fans. I also noticed having the cooler fans too high gets me higher temps as the pump and fans are on the same cable, I have mine @1000hz at @50C and about 1350Hz at 70C, That’s with a 3900X and 360mm though.

Thanks for the tips. Will do some benchmarking tomorrow.
