High temps

[Joshua muldoon]

Hi, I’ve recently upgraded to a 3900xt. I’m having idle temps of around 60c and 70/80 while gaming. I’ve got a stock cooler at the min, case has plenty of air flow, and I’m sure I’ve seated the cooler correctly. Is there anything else I could do to cool it, or is the temp ok? I’m reading online I should be getting less. Thanks for reading

I’ve just ordered the dark rock 4 pro, hoping to see an improvement, in the meantime, what should I lower my voltage to? It’s currently on 1.375. Cheers

I also have the tuf b450 gaming mobo, is that good enough? I’ve got a 3080 on pre order also. Cheers

I already put it to 1.25 and temp has gone down roughly 5/10c. That will do for now until the new cooler arrives on Monday. Just want this chip to last as it was bloody expensive! Thanks guys.

Is the motherboard good enough for the 3900xt and rtx 3080 do you think? Don’t wanna replace it really as I’m afraid I’ll mess it up

No I won’t be, I’m not clever enough for that. Thanks for your help
