Hi all, I recently upgraded my system with a ryzen 3700x. However upon booting up, the cpu has been idling around 55-65 degrees c which in my opinion is way too hot. When i stress test it, it goes up into the high 70s and low 80s which is also really hotter than i would like. As for a cooler, i am using the included wraith prism along with some corsair thermal paste. anyone experiencing problems like this? or have found a solution to it?
Thanks for your time!!!
Load temp of 44°C is not possible without sub zero cooling (and there's your somehow 
), that's an error for sure.
You can always make you own custom Power Plan by looking at others and tinkering with them, if i need extra processing power i have my Power Plan set like in image, if i want more cooling i lower the minimum processor state to as low as 0%.
There's some variables too, it will depend not only on the agesa version of the bios the user is running but also if the 1T portion of the benchmark is running on a core that can boost high or not.
For example CPU-Z bench runs on the first core which for me that will only seem to hit ~4250 max on stock, but it will also dip some causing poor performance (still on agesa 1.0.0.2 
).
So by running 4.3 all core OC the CPU is faster in both 1T and nT and runs cooler thanks to lower Vcore.
Stock CPU-Z:
1T= <500 / nT= ~5450
4.3 @ 1.35v:
1T= ~520 / nT= ~5750
These chips are just going to run hotter than previous gen, even though they are more efficient, they're still cramming a lot of power into a smaller package; higher density and lower thermal dissipation area.
Add to that the fact that they seem to be boosting aggressively for even the slightest load, when using anything other than power saver plans, requiring a significant amount of voltage to do so; and you end up with these high "idle" temps.
Here's a shot of RM with manually tuned clock speed and voltage setting of 3600MHz @ just 1.05 Vcore, perfectly snappy enough for tasks that do not require maximum performance. You can see the cores will still sleep when not in use and true "idle" temps will reach sensible numbers (unsurprising with just ~19w total CPU power). Cooler used: Thermalright True Spirit 140 BW.
Any sort of load will see the temps instantly jump ~10°C, so you folks in the 45-55°C range running stock even with decent cooling are going to be looking at 55-65°C "idle" temps.
Load temps with 4.3GHz all core OC @ 1.35 Vcore (1.325-1.337v under load) are 75-80°C max, perfectly fine.
I'm also feeling the heat.
3700x idle @ 39 - 40C.
Ambient room temp @ 14C
Running an Asus x570 Hero with an NZXT Kraken x62 (280mm). At first, I left the default voltages but then I found that they were somewhat high. So I reduced them to the following;
Core 1.35
CPU SOC -1.2
DRAM - 1.355
CLDO VDDG - 1.0
PLL Volt - 1.8
I also set my fan and water pump to 40% @ 40C. Then I set it to spin up to 55% if it gets to 50C. 80% if it gets to 60C.
I see reviewers with temps of 31 - 33C and I always ask how they are getting such low temps, but none of them get back to me.
