[Solved] Ryzen 3600 temps - new build

[gam3r]

Been a while since a built a PC so want to check if the temps below are normal.

CPU is a 3600 cooled by a Cryorig M9A.

Idle temps sit at 55-60c and when I ran user benchmark I hit 80c.

I was monitoring this with HwMonitor and everything is at stock.

Does that sound right? I may try reseating the heat sink on the CPU as I may not have put enough paste.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi All

I am using HwMonitor - will try Ryzen Master tomorrow. The paste is the one that comes with the m9 in the box, I spread it thinly across the CPU.

Could there be too little paste? What is the rule of thumb?

85c reported by HWINfo is a false reading

MSI board has something there reporting 85C that value doesnt change no matter what you do to the system

also download HWINFO64 - better software.

ryzen master is the correct value.

Mine doesn't stay at 85c. It ramps up to 85c at load.
Going to re-seat the cooler and re-apply paste. I will report back.

Took everything apart cleaned and re-applied the thermal paste and re-seated the M9A Cooler....I had done a poor job of applying the TIM.

The temps are better but not sure if normal.
I've checked the mounting bracket, re-checked the all the instructions and I am sure I haven't missed anything.

I have been running prime 95 for 5 minutes now and the CPU had settled at ~75c but then end jumped to 85c and are now back down to high 70's.

Any ideas? Oh, and this is a mITX build if that makes any difference.

Thanks. Highest temps I see are when playing COD: Black Ops Cold War - basically goes between 80-90 and stays there...

Thanks all.
I am returning the M9 cooler as I believe there must be some kind of QC issue with the unit / heatpipes.

I have ordered a AC 34 eSports after some research. Slightly more heavy duty.
It’s coming tomorrow so I will report back!

Update:

Cryorig M9A removed, boxed up and packed for RMA.
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports installed.

HUGE difference!

Readings from Ryzen Master:
Idle is now: 30-35c
Load on Prime 95: 65-68c

Not tried during gaming but I'd imagine it would be less than the Prime 95 loads.

Fans are all very quiet!

Super pleased with the Arctic Freezer eSports 34!

May go for that myself then! Is it simple to install on to AM4 an socket/board

Really easy.
Key thing you need to do is when you put the heat-sink on you will need to hold up the motherboard back plate from the back, to give you enough thread to put the thumbscrews on.

This is a mistake a lot of people make and they then claim incompatibility with some AM4 motherboards. Once you get each thumb screw on it really tightens up nicely.

Thumbs up from me.

No, I got the single variant (29.99), mainly because my case is very small (Metis Plus ITX).

In hindsight I could have got the duo variant because it looks like it would fit.
