Sudden high idle temp on 5800x

SO I bought a 5800x from the forum and fitted yesterday.

Desktop idle temps were around 40c which was fine.

Today desktop idle temps are 60c?

Any ideas? MY Ryzen power plans have also vanished.

Using a Noctua U12s cooler

I've reseated it and reapplied paste to no effect

If it persists, make sure power slider thingy is set to Balanced, and check minimum cpu state is set correctly in Power Plan options.

I dont have the slider but have set balanced?

Not a Windows update mucking about in the background, was it?

There was one there as im on an insider ring but run it and no dice.

Just realised the latest BIOS Ive installed is a beta so going back to an older one non-beta
 
Thats just it. Not a lot. I have the power plan on balanced but it doesnt seem to be dropping down, if I had to guess it seems to be staying in performance. Using power saver knocks 20c+ off desktop temps and in my mind balanced should be dynamically switching down and up?
 
Cheers guys. I’ll wait to hear your figures if I can to double check mine.

wondered if I need a fresh install of windows at this point…

@jigger crossed my mind. Using noctua paste which might need cure time
 
Interestingly when I quit out the system straight into the bios the temp is 32. No way have I gone from 67 in system to 32 in like 10 seconds?

SO either something is wrong or something is working it on the desktop?
 
Disabled everything. I’d read Rgb software could be a culprit so stopped all that. Cannot find a single thing for the moment. I think the one I picked up is just a hit chip.
 
So, seems the cpu is running as intended given my noctua is classed as ‘entry level’ cooling which is fine.

I now have a decision, accept it’s a hot chip and the fan noise that comes with it. Or switch to a 5600x.

decisions decisions

Something is going on here, I'm sure. That Noctua should be enough, especially considering your load temps are ok.
Personally, my next move would be full Windows reinstall. Something is causing it, I don't believe it's hardware.
The 5600 will surely do you fine if you cba messing about any more, though.

Im leaning towards keeping it. Maddeningly the temps seem more respectable now, everything is back to stock and it seems to be around 40 ish now on desktop. Driving me bonkers.

Im calmer now I found the AMD bumf that confirms being at 90 is expected behaviour by design, just not used to it. Must decide now if I want an albut silent system with a 5600x or trade off silence for performance

I also noticed icue is a big culprit and closing it dropped temps but oddly reopening it and letting it run didnt cause it to sit back at 60.

Are you sure the fan is on when it's idle?

Good point, fan is definitely on.

Ultimately my cooler, a U12s, is rated for up to 125w ish and at full tilt the cpu is pulling in 135w at least.

Im tempted to pop it back into 95w eco
 
Cheers dude. Will give that a watch tonight.

Ultimately I dont think my cooler is up to the task. That said desktop temps are 40-45 and its behaving more in line with what I would expect. Perhaps it just needed a few hours for the paste to cure a bit or something.

Going to keep the chip. Next step will be to see if I can pick up a used Noctua D15s as an upgrade I think

Even with great cooling they run warm. From what I've ready it's down to the very small surface area and having one CCD with all 8 cores enabled. The 5900x has 2 CCDs so double the area to transmit the heat to the cooler but only 50% more cores so it doesn't run as hot.

Think I just have to accept ‘hot’ is my new normal for now for a bit and that is fine as it’s designed to be hot
 
Very nice mate. Will have a play in the week. On the verge of getting a Noctua D15s as an upgrade.

Something is definitely going on here. God a few programs opening, got cctv viewer running and doing some light desktop work and the cpu is at 42. There seems to be no rhyme or reason yet Meanwhile earlier just being sat on desktop, nothing additional running and no activity form me it was sitting at 60
 
Ill take a look at that cheers.

Ive another 16gb of ram coming today, so will in total have 4x8 (32). Hope having all four slots filled doesnt magically push my cpu over the edge!
 
I'm cautiously optimistic I found the culprit. 'Qfinder'. The qnap app for finding nas drives on the network. DIsabling that put my cpu on desktop down to 35-39c. :mad:

Edit: Nope, after and hour or two bobbing along in the low 40's with chrome open watch netflix its now solidly low 60's at desktop. FML


EDIT: After some further testing and rummaging on the AMD pages, seems culprit is definately iCue. Completely removed that and desktop temps are mid 30's.
