I would say you did something wrong unless your case has horrendous air flow or your room is really hot.

If your case has that bad of airflow, you'll have to figure out a different cooling solution, or case.

My room is cold and im using the nzxt h510

The other option is the fan is set to low on the cooler. I don't know if it would make that much different but worth a check.

 

[tabascosauz]

Temperature and power control on the 65W Matisse parts is pretty much impeccable at this point. 90C under load is pretty much a guarantee that you've messed up on cooler mounting or paste application. Take the cooler off again, clean the CPU and cooler off, then apply your own paste.

If the cooler is a dud, I think you would already know by looking at it.

Much less likely is the possibility that your CPU is a dud and a RMA is in order.

How do i check

How do i check if its set to low

 

[moproblems99]

How do i check

If you referring to the switch, on one edge of the fan is a little switch that says H or L. Put it on H if it isn't.

Ok let me check

I cant find it but heres a pic

My mistake, doesn't look like the same cooler. You likely need to do what Tabasco said.

Was there any plastic on the cooler?

 

[PandaH05]

You mean like on yhe thermal paste

 

[Rowsol]

While the wraith stealth isn't known for it's prowess, it should be doing better than that. I don't think AMD puts a sticker on the cooler. I think it just sits in a plastic shell with the paste already on it.

Have you tried taking the side panel off and seeing what the temps are? That would be a sure fire way of knowing if it's the case or not.

Otherwise, I'd guess the cooler isn't tight enough on the chip, or one side was tightened down harder than the other. With that said, don't go crazy, too tight and you might break something.

It's also worth noting that ryzen tends to heat up more when monitoring tools are open, or at least that was a common complaint when they were launched.

This, plastic or a bad mount. That chip must be throttling like crazy.

Obbserver effects from crap monitoring tools wouldn't make it idle at 60c.

Yea it is

I use the same cooler on my 3200G and it's fine on that.
The paste is pre applied as mentioned and no plastic to remove, just remember to tighten the screws diagonally and evenly.

Ill try but yeah ots throttling like crazy on mz i only get like 110 fps instead of the 144 to 150 im suppoed to be averaging

Shut it down, check your mount asap.

 

[PandaH05]

Ok btw i have a 5700xt red devil also i was wondering is that why i stutter and have fps dips

The real secret is the use of an excellent Thermal Compound.
The ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal compound is EPIC !!!!!!!!
Put the paste on it like the picture: Use medium thick dots and 2 big ones in the center. Put the cooler on it and slightly spread the paste moving the heat sink in circles, then fasten it with the screws.

BUY AND APPLY FIRST THIS THERMAL PASTE BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW COOLER. THIS THERMAL COMPOUND WILL AMAZE YOU!!!!!

 

[joemama]

that temperature is definitely not normal for a 3600
should be something wrong with the installation or thermal compound

Putting paste on like that puts you at risk of an air pocket, unless you have a thread-ripper or other lge cpu an amount the size of a piece of long grained rice is enough, even top end pastes like thermal grizzly pastes wont drop your temps by 20 degree`s unless its an upgrade from using mayonnaise as thermal paste, its also worth pointing out that mx-4 is conductive and using too much is likely to ooze out all over the motherboard. Im running an R7 3800x and i get idle temp of 42c atm and around 50-55c using google chrome and im using a Corsair h115i platinum aio on a balanced fan profile and thats enough to keep my gaming temps under 65c and still be quiet enough, i also have good case airflow....2x140mm fans intake(on my rad) and 3 out in my Corsair Air 540 case, if the op`s friend has poor air flow then its not going to help the current cooler he`s using.

 

[PandaH05]

hey guys so basically i talked to amd they recomended that i replace my cpu and cooler and that thell send me a new cpu and cooler but its gonna take some time should i try and turn the speeds up on the fan and if so how do i do that lol

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Do you have a decent fan curve set up? Go into the BIOS and see what the fan profile is set at. It sure seems like weak contact is going on with the CPU.

The Wraith Stealth isn’t exactly a great cooler, but it shouldn‘t be letting things get that far out of hand. Still, even a basic tower cooler will make a big difference, plus they are quieter under load.

 

[PandaH05]

The thing is im using a msi b450 tomahwak max and the bios are really confusing so im not seeong amy graph

 

[vMax65]

Have you actually reinstalled the Cooler? I would think that the Cooler is not installed properly as that is what the temps would look like with a bad install.
