Normal Temps for Ryzen 9 5900X

[Mel_P]

Just upgraded from a Ryzen 5 3600 and have looked at the standing temps using CPUID HW Monitor. These are:

Temperature 0 44 degC (111 degF) [0x2C] (CPU)

Other items on motherboard:
Temperature 1 35 degC (95 degF) [0x23] (SYS)
Temperature 2 36 degC (96 degF) [0x24] (MOS)
Temperature 3 35 degC (95 degF) [0x23] (Chipset)
Temperature 4 36 degC (96 degF) [0x24] (Socket)
Temperature 5 32 degC (89 degF) [0x20] (PCIE_1)

Cooler is Alpenfoehn Brocken ECO advanced (as bought for the 3600). This has a TDP of 170W (compared to 7900x max out of 105W)

Is 44 degC OK? as "standing temp"?

If I load, say, Adobe "Lightroom", temp goes up to 70 deg C and fan boost kicks in?

It's very hard to get modern multi core CPUs
To be absolutely idle
But that looks pretty OK
Assuming there's a little something going on

I think only Temperature 1 is CPU - the other temps are other items on Motherboard?

In the background to make the first core hotter

Have a play with the fans.

Only one fan on the cooler? Only space for one? Or do you mean case fans.

The cooler body (metal fins) doesn't seem to get warm. Perhaps I didn't put enough "paste" on? Used "Arctic Silver 5"?

Try Cinebench R23, from my experience it is the biggest "boiler" of AMD cpus (not so much for Intel for some reason). If temp will be below 90 degrees there, you have no reason to worry.

I have run Cinebench and the score has doubled over the 3600 (3589 / 7918) - I didnt check the cpu temp though - will do tomorrow - didn't really notice fan speed increasing.

 

[Mel_P]

what cooler?

As above:

I cant recommend the PA120 enough

Not sure I have enough space for 2 fans though.

This, Phantom Spirit is even better. I tested it with 1 fan fitted and on 7800x3d it performs more or less the same as full custom loop.

I have just watched the phantom spirit video and was amazed at the amount of "gunk" they put on (a great glob! - partic see the video on the rainforest site) - I put a few mm mini glob - perhaps I didn't put enough? Should I try a bit more?

Some cpus run hotter is bios as that don’t idle down that sit at full base clock

At BIOS seems to run all the time at 4.7MHz? so runs quite hot?

I ran cinebench R20 and it went up to 79 deg C.

You should set an offset in bios if you haven’t already.

Bit of a novice in this area - what does set an offset in BIOS mean?

 

[Mel_P]

Bit confused AMD BIOS has "GAME BOOST" as an option - do I need that?

 

[Mel_P]

find the "AMD overclocking" tab in there you can set a voltage offset it will reduce the voltage curv of the CPU.
you will need to do it in steps it gos from 0 to 30 in steps one 1, i tend to go up in 5's

my CPU runs at -25 and it drops the temps a good bit.

Not the best video but it as all the info you need

Thanks - I'll try that another day with a clear head!

??

 

[Mel_P]

Probably a default overclocking profile
Usually those aren't great
Tend to push more voltage/heat
Think it's a msi setting
Though other manufacturers can have it with different names

Ta.

IIRC it’s a dynamic resolution scaling tool.

Does that mean something - or is it 3 words picked out of the air! Joking apart thanks for responding but I do not know what that means! BUT looking at google it's to do with CPU / graphics performance in games. I don't do gaming so I will keep it "off" in BIOS.
Thanks, Mel

Thanks all for the info - useful knowledge.
