AMD 5600 running hot with H80i v2

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.
 
Better than an H100x?
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.
The EK AIO's are also good if you prefer the look.

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.
 
What does hwinfo show for power deviation under cinebench load.

Seems now that boost modes are handled by motherboards, some manufacturers lie with the power usage reporting to get higher boost clocks. So you end up drawing 50% more power, getting 90C temps and about 5% more performance.

I have 2 x140mm intake fans in front and 3 x 120 fans pushing air out at back and on top in my Lian li case. This is with a Noctua DH 14 air cooler on the CPU. It is all very quiet.
 
It looks like your AIO has got an air bubble trapped in it somewhere.
Ye quite possible, just decided to move on to the AC one but might get it checked out and sell on etc.

Nice, I only have two intake fans, I think I need a bigger case with better airflow plus fans.
 
My setup is in a meshlicious case (ITX), with a glass panel on the CPU side.

The only fans I have are the from AIO (2x 140 mm fans), pulling air out… and the PSU fan if you count that.
 
The Q300L has a reputation for poor thermals even though it seems like it has a lot of ventilation.
My old 2600x (95W) with stock cooler in a Q300L didn't hit the 40/50C with no load that you're seeing though so I'm not entirely sure it's a case issue. Try 1 intake 1 exhaust for now?
