I still like those heatsinks better than the Intel push-pin heatsinks!

Intel push-pins are good, but only on Intel's own heatsinks(because they actually use good quality plastic, and have a fixed size that aligns correctly with motherboard slots).
Using those push pins with aftermarket coolers is a PITA.

they dont last long, and they're not durable for multiple uses. I've had to do a lot of really basic repairs over the years from those pins simply popping loose in otherwise functioning office systems (vibration + time) and then the worst ones, users fixing it themselves and smashing the plastic clips off
Wraith stealths yucky screws are at least forever.

Thank you
For now I will keep the system as is until I get money to buy an aftermarket, for now it works fine*

*Except for 2 WHEA_Logger events, I will open a new thread

Many thanks

Hi
I have the stock HS fan plus two intake cases (one in front and other in the side) and one exhaust fan

And when running cinebench the CPU goes to 95ºC with all fans at full blast mode, but never beyond that, the CPU throttles down to 3.8GHz but never below that at least in a Cinebench session.

Has ANYONE been keen on bringing up the fact that the board listed in the above screenshot (Asus Prime A520M-A) is - and I mean no disrespect with this, truly - crap, and therefore could be contributing to OP's heat problem in addition to lack of decent airflow? Not to mention A520 isn't exactly meant for even a mild overclock or PBO.

Why would the MB contribute to heat issues? UEFI Settings?
Also I don't plan to OC.

Insufficient VRM.

That wouldn't cause stability issues?

Except 2 WHEA Logger events the system is rock stable, and limiting power to 65W has solved the overheating issues.

Even if it was insufficient to push 88W PPT, it would thermal throttle and push the CPU down to base clock or lower, thr VRM wouldn't have anything to do with contributing to CPU temps. A shitty setup might run hot but the MOSFETs aren't dumping heat onto the CPU - they're far too insignificant for that

A520M-A has an okay VRM for a 65W chip, all things considered. It sounds like @Derek12 needs to pony up the $40 for a 212 Black or Freezer 34 to solve this problem.

If you had to manually limit PPT on a 3600, of all CPUs, to 65W which is 23W *below* stock, it's as obvious an indicator as any where the problem lies.

What can you say about a cooler when it’s fan shroud is thicker than the actual cooler...

AMD went cheap for the 3600 compared to the stock cooler that came with the 1600. The fan on the 1600 was great. I remember when I got my first 3600 and looking at the stock cooler... Like, geez I guess the Wraith went on a diet or something :roll:

I can't knock it completely though, I guess. On my 2nd go-around with the 3600 (at present) I had to use the stock fan when an experiment didn't go quite right. It did the job, but I was careful not to push the damn thing too hard. Didn't want it to get heat stroke :roll:
