Ryzen 5 2600 temps

[GuruJockStrap]

I've just yesterday built a Ryzen 5 2600 based system and my experience is pretty much similar to you.

My rig is in a Micro ATX mini tower case with one low RPM 120mm exhaust fan. Also got a Zotoc Mini GTX 1060 3GB (with a smaller heatsink and fan combo compared to other 1060 3GB's).

My CPU hit 79C under Prime.

As muon said earlier, the Wraith Stealth is to blame.

If I touch the heatsink with my finger during a Prime run, it is absolutely roasting to the touch. This is telling me that:

1. Heatsink and CPU contact is fine
2. Heatsink is doing its job of transferring heat away from the CPU

Unfortunately, the heatsink is so small that there is nowhere else for this heat to go and there is only so much air flow the fan can push.

The Wraith Spire should have been bundled with this CPU imo as there is a noticeable difference in size and potential CPU cooling performance.

Prime is absolute worst case scenario so doubt I'll see those temperatures with normal usage, so I'll leave the setup as is for now. Long term, I'll probably look to replace the Wraith Stealth with a Deepcool Gammaxx 400 or Raijintek Thermis for around £25; either would be infinitely better than the Stealth. Shame, as I probably would have been satisfied with the Spire.

Have a look in your motherboards BIOS to see if you can make the CPU fan run at 100% at 70C and above. I reckon this knocked 5C off my max temps. I'm too tight to buy a better CPU fan and the 74.8C I'm now seeing isn't extreme. AMD says max temp is 95C so its all OK and normal for this chip with the stock cooler. If these temps with the stock cooler were too high AMD would have supplied a better cooler.

If the stealth keeps it below dangerous levels in the absolute worst case scenarios, why would AMD need to supply a better cooler? The supplied cooler does exactly what it needs to do.

I'm happy with it, never said I wasn't. I won't be changing it anytime soon. With a better air cooler it might knock 5C to 10C off if you're lucky but what's the point it doesn't matter if its at 74.8C or 64.8C during 100% load on all cores it will never reach that in normal use anyway. The max temp according to AMD is 95C so with the stock cooler its well under that.

A bit of a thread revival here, but i'm seeing similar, if not worse.
I've just received the 2600x with the Spire cooler, and i'm seeing ~26c 'idle' temps within Ryzen Master and HWMonitor, however these are when the clock speed is 2.2. As soon as it ramps up to 4.25 automatically the temps instantly shoot up to 40c.
With Prime95 v26.6 it easily hits 85c after a couple of minutes, and so i stop the test.

I'm running it in the same case i previously ran a Phenom II x6 1055t, which idled around 30c and never went above 60c even under Prime95 tests.
I've tried applying my own paste and if anything that's made it worse.

This is all after i have set the CPU fan to manual 100% in the BIOS!

Not impressed so far!

What voltage is it running at under Prime 95? Should be around 1.2v with clocks around 3.7ghz.

It should not be running at 4.25ghz in Prime95. That would be a massive overclock requiring a 240mm AIO or a dual tower CPU cooler.

I’m guessing he’s using XFR and not a manual OC. That’s a boost clock, voltage will be auto, IMO.

But XFR only hits those clocks for a few threads, and so the power consumption is actually quite low. Prime95 will stress all cores heavily and so it should be clocking back down to 3.7ghz, at which point the Wraith Spire is adequate.

Please check my temps. I'm concerned that these temps are too high for water-cooled CPU and I'm thinking about the different case where I could accommodate more rads.

It's stock Ryzen 5 2600 with Saphire Pulse Vega56 (Bykskiblock) in the loop.
Watercooled with EK Supremacy, EK D5 Pump, 60mm thick 240mm XSPC rad with 2xArctic P12.
The case is MetallicGear Neo Mini (V1).

I'm concerned that these temps are too high for water-cooled CPU.

53oC? Is that at idle or were you stressing the CPU at the time?

If that's stressed then temps look ok to me.

I have a Heatpipe cooler on mine with 2 x 140mm fans and I'm seeing load temps of around 60oC.

It's stressed with OCCT for ~10 minutes.
Bear in mind that it's not overclocked.
After overclocking, the temperature reaches over ~ 70 *.

I'm no water cooling expert I'm afraid but that does seem a bit high for liquid cooling.

Was the Vega 56 being stressed at the same time? I have the same card but with the stock cooler and that can kick off a lot of heat unless you undervolt. Imagine the heat from that (if stressed) would make it worse.

Out of interest, what temps are you seeing with the GPU when running 3D Mark or Unigine? With an undervolt and S7 set at 0.950v, I rarely see temps north of 60oC.

If temps are high on the Vega 56, I suspect something not quite right with the setup or the kit can't cope with the heat generated.

My Ryzen 5 2600 at stock speeds reaches 78C under full Prime95 load. Is this normal? Seems a bit high. I am using the stock AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler.

sounds normal with the stealth cooler. that's ok as you wont be using all the threads all of the time for usual software

With fans set to 70% (~1400rpm - not quiet at all).
CPU temperature ~58* | GPU temperature ~34* = Prime95 (Small FFTs for maximum hear, 12 threads) -
CPU temperature ~69* | GPU temperature ~67* = Prime95 + MSI Kombustor
CPU temperature ~46* | GPU temperature ~66* = MSI Kombustor only
CPU temperature ~35* | GPU temperature ~34* = system idle, although noticed that CPU peaks to 3,9Ghz (?!)

I've had enough of high temperatures and noisy fans...

I took apart the loop and started by checking the block on the processor - after all, the temperatures on it were terribly high.

I found something interesting inside the block. In the previous loop, I used the blue liquid. There seems to be some dye left in the block.

Check CPU temperature (during load, Prime95 torture test) and fans speed now - the difference is colossal!
With fans spinning at ~1400rpm, the CPU temperature dropped below 50 *!
