Sorry if this is beyond the usual scope but I need some help and all you out there have never let me down.
I've been having hi temps at idle of about 52 degrees C and can't seem to bring it down. Now mind you
it seems to game fine with temps reaching mid 60's playing Doom 2016 and such. Tried messing with
voltages/clock speeds but that didn't really do anything . Adjusted windows power plan to balanced
and therein setting cpu at 5% minimum/99% max. That also didn't affect much. Opened the case
to check out the cooler and noticed the lever wasn't closed all the way so fixed that but no change.
Tried Ryzen Master a little bit but it's a bit much for someone just getting their feet wet with the
modern tech. Should I re-seat the cooler and reapply the paste? Read a bunch of the forums and
those that tried it for the most part didn't notice a change in temps. Maybe it's just the nature
of the beast being a hot cpu but have seen some out there reporting idle temps at 28-32c.
Would an upscale cooler be warranted?
The system is as follows:
Cpu: 3700x
Cooler: Wraith Prism stock
Mobo: MSI MPG x570 Gaming Pro Carbon
Ram: 16gb Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz ddr4
GPU: EVGA 1050ti 4GB
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01
Case Fans: Corsair LL 120 series 3-pack
Sorry for the wordy post, any comments would be greatly appreciated thanks!
