Ryzen 5 3600X temps

[Sootchucker]

Hi guys, I know there have been a ton of threads on CPU temps, but I just wanted to know if what I've currently got is OK.

Basically I've built a new system (my very first Ryzen) that consists of:

Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi Motherboard (ITX)
Ryzen 5 3600X Process
Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 CPU Cooler
16GB DDR4 Ram
1TB NVme drive
1 TB 2.5" SSD

All of this is in a small Fractal design Core 500 mini desktop case.

The core 500 only came with a single 140mm cooling fan at the back (exhausting), and I've added a corsair 140mm fan sitting right over the CPU pulling air into the case. I'm running the CPU stock at the moment.

Using Core temp and AMD Ryzen master software (though not a the same time), shows after about 5 minutes of booting and everything loaded and settled down, my idle temps are reported at approx. 42-44°C

Does this sound about right ? I know the case is small, but on my other system I built earlier in the year (mini tower Intel Core I7 9700K with a Noctua cooler), it only runs at idle at around 30-32°C, but I heard these Ryzen's run hotter ?

Does everything look OK. This won't be a gaming PC (don't even own one), just a desktop for general office duties, internet browsing and the occasional Photoshop etc.

I recently switched from 4790k to 3700X. The temps on the 3700X were higher then I was expecting. I’m running a 280 AIO and it was idling very high 30s - low 40s. But would spike quite a lot as well. The 4790k ran a lot lower in the same setup.

Just swapped the 3700X to a 5600X and that runs low 30s and doesn’t seem to have the spikes the 3700X had.

So is it this particular processor that runs hot ?

The load temperature would be a much more useful thing to check if you think there’s a problem. The idle seems fine.

My 3600X is currently idling at 42C under a CoolerMaster 412R.

Idling here at 31 with an Arctic liquid freezer two/240. Hits 70 deg in cinibench r20.Ryzen master For reference.

Ryzen idles all over the place. So long as your temps under load are fine and your CPU is boosting don't worry about it. Perfectly normal.
