Bios show the highest of 55 C. Im using HWMonitor , HWInfo ,Ryzen master to check my temp. I`ve closed msi center and icue. Same thing happen .. Funny thing is .. CPU temp rise to 50-60 while i`m on steam and clicking on store , library , community tabs temps increase .. or when i`m open any program is jumping to high temps... idk if thats normal. On Cinebench R23 doesn`t pass 57 C on multi/single core test.

If it's hot in the bios then it's not software related, the issue is the cooler mounting and/or heat paste

Ive had 3 ryzens - 1600, 2700x and 3600 - and theyve all idled quite high. Thats with different boards, air coolers or aio liquid coolers. Reading up on it AMD say its normal and its the monitoring software making the cpu think its got work to do so it runs hotter.

Mine does the same, just randomly spikes to mid 50s. I just thought it was some background processes doing a short boosted workload.


Spikes are normal but he said he's getting those temps in the bios which is before it boosts and loads windows so load spikes are impossible in the bios

Ok .. i`ve installed a new Cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) / thermal paste (Grizzly Krynoaut) and is idle at 32 C .. Looks fine .. still pop to 50 C while opening a program for example (hwmonitor) but i think that`s normal. Maybe it was the cooler or maybe the paste i don`t know .. but happy now is running cool .. Thanks for all the advices guys
