to start I have a 3600 and my aio is ml240 RGB v2 by cooler master I have a slight overclock to 4.2 GHz and I noticed when like on chrome my MSI afterburner max temp is 65 is that ok also it spikes while gaming whatever temp then slowly goes down then spikes
 
ok and when streaming at 1080p 60 fps with uncapped in game fps with max graphics I get like 80 should I be worried btw I use x264
 
How much voltage for that 4.2GHz?
 
i never changed the voltage
i just set clock to 4200

my friend did it not me but he didn't touch the volts
 
If you like download HWiNFO and open sensors window in full view. Minimize it to systray an leave it there for a few hours and use you PC. Then post a screen shot here.

Like this

Not that, the sensors window. You must close this, re-open HWiNFO and select sensors only mode. Enlarge the window and use blue arrows to the bottom to expand colums and to show as many sensors as possible.
 
@Zach_01 I will leave this to you but just point out the RAM speed is 2133 :D.

Look closer down below...
Says, Clock memory: 1800MHz

What you saw is the type 2133 nonXMP profile.

Here is mine:

Right you are. I opend HWINFO once in the non-sensor mode so....
 
As I thought...
The voltage is on a fix setting around 1.35V

See the:
"CPU Core Voltage (SVI2 TFN)" in the middle where the red dot is.
It may be too much for certain work loads.
If you want my opinion, to OC this CPU is not worth the trouble and the risk. Just for 5% more clock on allcore load.

Anyway (ON topic), the temp spiking thing is normal for the "CPU (Tctl/Tdie)" sensor value. All ZEN2 have this behaviour OCed or not. This sensor reports always the highest point inside the cores aka: the Hotspot. All ZEN have dozens of temp sensors inside each CCD and the Tctl/Tdie report always switching to report the highest sensor.
The "CPU CCD1 (Tdie)" value is a report of 1 specific sensor on a specific place inside the cores. Its more steady than Tctl/Tdie. Past generations of AMD CPUs report only 1 temp and that was a CPU CCD (Tdie) equivalent.
This jumpy Tctl/Tdie (hotspot) report was firstly introduced by AMD on ZEN2 and RDNA1 GPUs.
 
This thread is confusing AF.

Title says CPU spikes, OP says his card temp. Continues discussing card temps while everyone is trying to help with a non-existent CPU temp issue.

I think that you got it wrong. x264 and GPU? MSI shows CPU temps as well FYI.
 
See my edit. OP didn't use or didn't know how to use HWINFO before now.

Hw info shows 70c, I just think OP is confusing everyone. I know it will show CPU, but you also assume he knows how to work that but not HWINFO? These apps are not rocket science.
 
do you have all latest chipest drivers installed and the ryzen power plan on balanced?

then will appear a slider which can be put to maximum energy saving (has no influence on performance but the vcore stays at around 1.1v even under light load without aggressive core waking for opening a browser)

Sure, OP needs to perform a standard test to obtain a value that we can evaluate. But as @Zach_01 wrote OP should drop the OC and live with the fact that a 3600 will spike.

Good catch, I think OP is confusing his CPU and GPU temps.

As @sneekypeet mentioned, max temp for CPU is shown as 70C in hwinfo. MSI Afterburner is measuring GPU temps. Depending on what 5700 XT model he has, it's not unheard of for it to hit 80C while gaming with uncapped FPS and streaming.

Please "experts" open MSI Afterburner and see that it does CPU as well.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just that things are not lining up, and without an AB screen shot in the OP, we are all left guessing still.
 
Just did af MSI B450 Mortar Max build with Artic Liquid Freezer II 360 build in the Lian Li Lancool - with an 3600x and a Gigabyte Gaming OC 2070 super. it never went above 65 c - did a 8 ours burn in with the CPU-z stress test and the cores never came belove 4225MHz. During gaming and test it was impressive silent. It was set to 1900MHz Infinity fabric and 3800MHz memory, CL 14 timings, with PBO enabled.
