Reaching 82C with 20c Room temperature when playing games after 1 hour.

So what will happen in summer ? I live in Greece i may play in 30Celsius room temperature in summer. It will keep shutting down?

My specs are

Deepcool Dukase V2

MSI B450 Tomahawk

G.Skill RipjawsV 3200mhz 2x8gb

Corsair CX600

Gigabyte GTX 970 Xtreme Gaming 4gb

1 Noctua Fan 120mm on the front, 1 NZXT 120mm fan on the top, 1 cheap 120mm fan on the rear.

Stock ryzen 2600x cooler

Thing is that when i had the 6600k and a Hyper 212 EVO the temps were pretty good...

I use HWMonitor

d1versify, please post a screenshot of Ryzen Master (RM).  It is the only reliable temperature reporting application.  All the others are suspect, especially HWMonitor.  Your specifications:

The maximum is 95C, so at 82C you are still OK.  Another 10C will get close to shutting down.  Enjoy, John.

That's pretty warm. I assume you are using the stock cooler? The stock cooler is great for regular users at stock speeds. You are a heavy user with XFR enabled. It's gonna get hot prepaidgiftbalance.

Now it only goes to 70C after 30 minutes of gaming . If i play for 1 hour it goes more.
I use High Performance in Power Options (if that helps )
I know it's ok , but when Summer comes it will be shutting down with 30 Celsius room temperature , i'm sure.
Could i have a defective stock cooler? I want to buy a new one

d1versify, I think you are OK.  I would suggest you check you heat sink and make sure it is properly seated, tight but not too tight, and does not have any TIM coming out the sides.  You should be able to rotate it back and forth a very little bit (very few degrees).  I always do this after mounting a heat sink.  How is your air flow around the heat sink?  I also suggest you plug the cooler fan into 12 Volts directly.  Please let us hear.  Thanks and enjoy, John.

into 12 volts , which mean ??

d1versify, see here.  Enjoy, John.

thanks! so in other words i connect the heatsink fan directly to the PSU and it gives more power or something?

[elstaci · Accepted solution]

The CPU Wraith Spire Cooler fan is controlled by the Motherboard and BIOS or AMD Wattman/3rd party software. I believe if you connect the CPU Cooler directly to the PSU it will be running at 100% all the time since it won't have any PWM control from the Motherboard.

The Fan works on the same power supplied by the PSU through the motherboard except the Motherboard is able to use PWM to control the Fan speed depending on the temperature of the CPU.

As long as your Motherboard is supplying 12vdc, it will be the same as hooking the CPU Cooler directly to the PSU except without any PWM control.

elstaci is correct.  The fan will provide the maximum cooling possible on 12 Volts.  If it is too loud, then d1versify may need to decide to have a cool processor or a noisy system.  There are so many bad stories about PWM controls not working to expectations that I run all my CPU fans and pump on 12 Volts and am very happy.  Enjoy, John.
