Don't buy the cryorig h7.

Oh my god. Just because it had good performance and was pretty cheap. I decided to buy it. I didnt realize that this cooler has the weirdest and most annoying mounting systems I've ever seen.
Always take into account how good a cooler's mounting system is. It matters a lot. I've taken it out and tried to reinstall it correctly twice yet it still isn't mounted correctly and my 3600 is at 60 degrees at idle!

Alright I tried the stock cooler. The stock temps were even worse and it even reached 92c for a few seconds while playing FFXV. So I decided to play with the settings.
I changed PBO from auto to disabled in the bios, and went into the ryzen power plan in Windows and set the maximum power limit to 99%. When I played FFXV again, the CPU never went above 68C. I'm happy with the result, but I don't know how and why this is happening, or whether I maybe somehow possibly made my frequencies worse.

I'll check the frequencies and do a few cinebench runs tomorrow. We'll atleast my processor is running cool now. Idle temps around 45C. But I just don't know why it wasn't running cool when stock.

The general recommendation with 3rd gen Ryzen is to just install and run them. Don't worry about voltages and temps too much (unless they're really excessive). The CPUs is given even 1.5V at times and it is fine with it. Make sure you're using the latest BIOS for your motherboard. AMD has been issuing a lot of AGESA updates to fix some issues.

My 3600 idles at 30 these days and hits 58 under AIDA64 CPU stress test, with ambient around 28.

then you got a silicon lottery really food temps and you are using water cooler?

Man lemme tell you all what happened today! I've been on a wild goose hunt. The cooler is fine and the processor is fine. I'm idling around 45c now and while running cine bench, I didn't go above 65c. The clocks stayed rock solid at 4.2ghz in single thread test.

What do I think made the difference? It was changing from ryzen power plan to the windows balanced power plan. Now I can run my cpu at 100% power with good temps. To everyone owning new ryzen chips, don't worry about the high temps! Just get a good cooler and you're good to go! The cryorig h7 plus is not bad! Although I did expect it to cool a bit more (like 59c instead of 64-63c). Thanks to everyone for the help! Love u guys.

I doubt that. Most people on reddit report idle in the 30s. I don't have PBO/AutoOC enabled. I'll wait for that stuff to become stable and reliable before I use it. Processor boosts to 4200 on one core often enough.

And yes I'm using a 360mm AIO. Pumps runs at around 2600rpm but is virtually soundless.



I wouldn't recommend changing the power plans. AMD has tweaked its plan in various ways. I'm not that knowledgeable technically but basically the Ryzen plan reduces the response time of the CPU for queries, kinda like the spin-up time of a mechanical HDD.

I would suggest resetting BIOS to default, only changing settings absolutely necessary (in my case, manually clocking the RAM at 3200MHz @ C16). I'm on a Crosshair VII Hero.

I was kinda obsessed with OMG 5GHZ and OMG 90C stuff in the beginning. Thought several times about selling this package and getting a 9700/9900K but frankly speaking, there is no point unless you wanna do 144fps gaming at 1080p. Anything above 1080p is beyond the control of a CPU since most if not all games at that resolution will be dependent on your graphics card.

This processor has cut down my Android Studio build time exponentially (compared to my previous 4.5Ghz 4670K). That's just one example.

Here's my system in case you're interested. Need some cable management done but otherwise good.

Also how hot does your GPU get in that vertical orientation? @Ask n Ask

you have disabled PBO and auto OC whats the difference between temps before and after it? and whats your manual clock frequencies?

In my case, from what I noticed, PBO didn't do anything for me. It is supposed to give +-200MHz boost but the processors are already maxed out out of the box. I don't expect the 3600 to go above 4200 on more than a single core.

Sucks but it is how it is. For the 3700 etc, there is some difference.
