Just wondering if there is an average I should be seeing.

Since installing Windows and using the PC more, I have changed to the Arctic Freezer 36 CPU cooler, sitting here downloading a few games, browsing the forum, and seeing the CPU sit at around 80c seems a little high. Fan settings in Bios were on silent, GPU was around 41c.
I upped the motherboard fan settings to standard, now hearing the fans but temp still seems high at 75c-80c while a game installs. Now the game just completed install the CPU has dropped to 46c and system is near silent again.

Fitted the Freezer 36 with a pea sized blob of Noctua thermal compound. Case is an H500 with two Arctic P14 PWM up front, an Arctic P12 PWM in the rear, Arctic P12 PWM in the roof just behind the CPU cooler.


Bear in mind I have came from old 4770k CPU's running idle at around 30c odd with Noctua and BeQuiet coolers. So is this simply normal for AMD systems on air?

Yeah, is normal for new AMD users from old Intel PCs to think they're too high.

What do you get when running Cinebench and gaming?

They can boost aggressively during game installs and even just browsing, so you really need to know where it tops out under realistic load and make sure it doesn't throttle under max load.

Will need to wait until the weekend and try a few synthetic benchmarks.

Only downloaded a few games, not actually been looking at temps as it's really just came together. Now that the PC is sitting where I can see it, well the motherboard display shows CPU temp hence me noticing therefor checking temps.

Been some years since I ran any sort of benchmark, think the last time is when the GTX 1070 came out. Apart from Cinebench, are there a couple of others I should run?


I should add, I bought a Sapphire Nitro 9060 XT 16gb, I got impatient, but could not justify a 9070xt or 5070ti when we may have Supers after Christmas, therefor some lower prices on mid tier, as well as new GPU's rumored for the second/third quarter next year. So it may be a short term GPU, it may also be all my old games need.

Nah, Cinebench is good, it'll tell you the max temp you're likely to see ever, so if you're well under throttle with Cinebench you'll be good.

Yeah, downloading can use a surprising amount of CPU, so that's probably what was happening.
 
The newer CPUs boosts there clocks untill they hit there temp target when under load.

I have a 7600x under a 360 AIO and with general interneting with soe music in the background its hitting 45-49 degrees.

You'll see high temps downloading w/ fast internet because your CPU will be decompressing files at the same time.

As stated already above as long as your load temps in stress tests are fine, then there isn't an issue with your hardware/cooling. Everything else is just setting your fans to ramp up/down at a level you're comfortable with, or checking that some software isn't preventing your CPU from idling if you're concerned about idle power consumption.

Pop a negative curve optimiser on if you haven't already. Install and Ryzen master and let it do the check for you what it thinks can be achieved. Takes about 45 minutes. Then pop that into bios and see how it looks again. I remember 7600 (none x) would happily do negative 50 on all cores.

i don't think Cinebench is that good any more, my CPU cap's out at 68c, but in games i see 80c
cpu is a 9700x

Is that single or multi?

It could be your graphics card venting upwards contributes too, since Cinebench doesn't increase case temp.
