PC Processors

[Th3Girthquak3]

I have been doing a lot of thermal testing since I got my 5900X.

Ill go ahead and get my specs out of the way.

CPU: 5900X at stock settings. (PBO disabled)

CPU Cooler: NH-U14S (With the Noctua thermal compound that was supplied with the cooler.)

RAM: 32 GB (2x16GB) TridentZ Neo 3600 MHz

Motherboard: ROG Crosshair VIII Hero

Room temp: 70F/21C

Temps were recorded using Ryzen maser for the overall average temperature, and HWiNFO64 to get the readings from each CCX.

I have noticed that while playing some games, the temp for CCD 1 will spike up into the mid to upper 80s.

personally, I have only had MW2019/ CPD Warzone do this, but That's because I don't have any of the other games I have heard people reporting these temp spikes in. The other games were BFV and Red dead 2. I don't have these temp spikes in Halo MCC. From what I can figure out, The games that seem to be having these high temp spikes all have one thing in common. AVX workloads.

Im not 100% certain that this is the actual cause, and I'm also not certain that these temp spikes are entirely normal.

I have had a couple people tell me that the highest temp they get for CCD 1 in COD warzone is in the mid to low 70s.

What is everyone else seeing, and can I get an official answer from AMD?

Same here while gaming I have high temp, described in the following image:



I have a Kraken Z63 as watercooling, I'm asking if this is normal ?

[radu1006]

Well it looks fine, you had 73C max temp. But I think there is more data needed for a proper evaluation.

You can try to answer the following questions:

- How long have you been gaming for? a good interval would be an hour or 2
- did you test it at 100% load? in your tests you had 55% max load. A good test would be a sustained 100% load for at least 10-20 mins.

[ItsAlex]

I have run some test with Cinebench to test 100% load, this is my result with a room a little more cooler:

- Multi thread:



Single thread:



Is it okay ? Is it normal that the 5900x is always aroud 64° ?

Another problem is that my Kraken Z63 is always at 100% even when IDLE. Do you think replacing it by a Be quiet dark rock pro 4 will be good for a better ratio temp/noise ? Without harming to the CPU ?

[fyrel]

66C isn't normal.

It's pretty much stone cold as Ryzen CPU's go.

[ItsAlex]

@fyrel  My config is:

- Case NZXT H510
- Watercooling NZXT Kraken Z63
- MSI B550 Tomahawk Motherboard 
- Ryzen 5900x CPU

What can I do to find the problem then ?

[fyrel]

@ItsAlex The forum seems to have mixed up my replies a little.

At 66C your cooling is performing great.

The CPU has a max temperature of 90C.

I'm not sure of the exact target temperature of that CPU but most of the Ryzen chips tend to run with a targeted temperature of around 70-75C

With regards to your earlier post of the Kraken running at 100% even when idle are you referring to the fan speed or the pump?

The pump should always run 100%.

You should be able to adjust the fan curve depending on temperatures.

[ItsAlex]

@fyrel Sorry for the late answer, I'm refering to my fan speed. I wonder if I wouldn't replace my Kraken with a Noctua DH15S.

[fyrel]

You shouldn't need to replace it.

Check you have the cables connected the correct way round.

Pump to the AIO pump header and the fans to the CPU fan header.

[ItsAlex]

@fyrel  Yes I have it's just that Kraken Z63 need CAM to work and control fan speed (fan is not controlled by motherboard). Two problems:

- Fan noise (Run 100% with default setttings need CAM to override it everytime)
- On Linux CAM does not works, so fan are not working, I need to find a way to cool down my CPU

I think using a Noctua DH-15S or BQ Dark rock pro 4 I will solve theses two issues no ?

[fyrel]

Yes a different cooler would solve the issue.

Kinda sucks that the Kraken doesn't allow the motherboard to control it.

BFV kicks my D15's butt (push/pull 140mm).

PBO is limited to factory settings: 142W, 95A, 140A

Case is R5 Define.
Fans all Noctua 140mm set to 800rpm.
intake (3x)
2 front 140mm, 1 bottom 140mm.
Exhaust (3x)
Side gpu 140mm, CPU rear 140mm, CPU top 140mm.

30mins session, 1440p ultra. 91.5C on CCD1 :/

[AlexWTF]

Your BFV average temps aren't even that high. You wanna see what is high? Here is my 30 minute session:

[uc-willy]

Hey Namster17,

got almost the exact same measures on my 5900x ( around 90 - 91° running CB R23).

case: nzxth 510
fan: be quiet! dark rock 4
2 exhaust fans

i can reduce the temp for about 5-7° when opening the glass panel, which obviously is not a solution.
did you find anything to resolve the issue?

[uc-willy]

seems as if it was fixed by updating the bios to the newest version (currently 3.6 on my asrock X570 Pro4). now its 75°c max when running cinebench r23.

[fyrel]

Those temps may seem a bit high but they aren't at dangerous levels.

Do you have good case airflow?

[lmsae33]

They are almost always down stage. Please set all to default do a Clear CMOS and run Cinebench R23. Please post a screenshot of Ryzen Master (RM) however no longer CB - just inform us the ratingsite. Tell us how a whole lot strength your video card makes use of. I would let others take a look at the brand new BIOS. Thanks and revel in, John.

[thomasi7]

i have fix it by set the fans to run at 100%
