Processors

[Czaja]

Hi guys, 

I've got some problems with my ryzen - hight temperatures and overclocking problems to be specific. Processor temperature is very high even in idle (sometimes it's even around 50°). I ran OCCT and Cinebench and temperaturest went up to around 90° extremly quickly on auto voltage and no overclocking done(100% fans speed on cooler and pc case). Overall I have tried to overclock this cpu but even now clocks are not stable at 1.3V and 4.7GHz. I tried to change thermal paste but it brought no result - everything was already fine previously. The weirdest part of all of this is the fact that my cpu cooler is a little bit warm on the bottom and absolutely COLD on the top - it seems like processor cant conduct thermals by himself, maybe it's because processor's IHS isn't soldered fine. What do you guys think? I hope you got some tips for me. Should I send my cpu on warranty?

Your CPU cooler is advertised for 250W, therefore it should have no problems with cooling of 5600x.

Notice installation video for you cooler - TIM applicatoin

This is a lot of paste, it is because almost all coolers have convex coldplate and you must put a lot of paste to make sure there is contact. Since gamers nexus video thermal paste methods comparison I personally put a lot of paste, excess is squeezed out, I do not have problem with that. But anyway try to follow insctructions from manufacturer of your cooler, maybe it will help.

I used A LOT OF thermal paste, so thats not the problem.

Using too much TIM will hamper thermal performance, all you need is a thin layer. Also I assume you are measuring temperatures with Ryzen Master? Post a screenshot of Ryzen Master under Cinebench R23 load, like the one below.
