Windows 10: Ryzen 3600 Idle Temps.

Billy Ball · Jul 20, 2020

Is it just me or does the Ryzen 3600 run a bit warm? Mine fluctuates between 40C-50C at idle and I don't know if I should be worried or not. It's at stock settings and cooled by a Dark Rock 4. I'm even considering sending the DR4 back and replacing it with a Arctic Liquid Freezer 280.

3 coolers for Ryzen 5 3600

Ryzen 5 3600 and air cooling

I was using the stock Wraith when I first set up my Ryzen 7 2700X build and my temps were fine running Visual Studio and even gaming. I had no problems with it at all. It can be a bit loud at high temps, but that's true of all coolers.

My temps never broke 55C when gaming and 60C when benchmarking, but I have excellent airflow in my case. I'm not sure where the negative reviews about the Wraith are coming from, but my experience has been positive all round with it. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Ok, but R7 2700X is a different cpu/cooler. I read about people that are having heat problems with R5 3600. I will have to get a better cooler.

B450 AORUS M (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE U.S.A.

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus M Rev 1.0 supports the Ryzen 5 3600 from BIOS F40 (16 May, 2019) on. The current BIOS is F50 (27 November, 2019).

I don't think I'd call an X570 a "more powerful" motherboard. More compatible, mainly. My opinion is that if you're going with a third generation Ryzen, it'd be worth a modest additional expense to get a board that was designed for it. It can be a modest expense in the US. I don't know what it'd be where you are. I'm using an MSI MPG X570 Plus Gaming, with a Ryzen 9 3900X. (I don't game.) $170US. About double the Gigabyte B450, but not much of a difference in the total system cost.

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus M does M.2. The Ryzen 5 3600 would support PCI-E 4.0 on an X570 motherboard, but only PCI-E 3.0 on a B450 board. (No benefit to PCI-E 4.0 without an SSD that supports it, of course.)

I wonder whether the stock cooler is really inadequate if you're not overclocking? The main criterion is avoiding having the CPU throttle due to exceeding its specified temperature threshold. You should be OK if that never happens, although maybe you'd like to run cooler if you expect to keep the processor for 10 years. (Heaven knows what home computing will look like in 2030.)

I don't want to risk high temps. I must get a better cooler. I have seen people calling the stock cooler "garbage".
I'll think about your mobo suggestion.
