I upgraded the nephews desktop to the AMD 3700x, he uses the stock air cooler that came with his older AMD 2600x. I dont like the temps at the 3700x is at max, it hits 90c.
Is 90c at 100% normal with a stock AMD cooler, air temps in his house is 75F. He is going to study movie production so I plan to overclock it a bit but at those temps its most likely thermal throttling.
I've repasted 2 times with Arctic MX-4 to see if it can go lower but still get the same temps. Should I try a AIO water cooler, I do want to upgrade it later down the road, within 1 year, with the next ryzen 12 core AMD 5000 processors when he gets further into his studies.
