Hey guys, I bought my ryzen 3600 (love it!) with the stock wraith cooler and an Asus tuf x570 but I noticed my cpu was running very hot and even peaked at 86C while gaming Cod and wow for 1-2 hours (nothing hardcore). Temps while gaming where constant at 70-77C which is not comfortable for me.
I got a bit worried since even on idle it was at 50C (I find this way to hot coming from an i5 4690K).
Disclaimer and possible problems:
1. I removed the stock thermal paste from the wraith cooler (it had a lot btw from out of the box all ready applied), all the cooler plate was covered with it and replaced it with a pea size amount of Artic MX-4.
2. My mobo is missing the extra 4 pin power connection (750W old psu that only has an 8 pin CPU cord)
3. Need to update my BIOS
4. Set ram to their 3600mhz speed in current BIOS
spare evo 212 heatsink:
I have an hyper evo 212 but lost the AMD bracket (only have the intel one) and was wondering where I can buy the AMD bracket only instead of buying the fan again. Having trouble finding it online in the first place.
Also I wish to buy an extra fan for my evo 212 but I also can't find online just the fan with the brackets to attach it to the metal radiator fins in order to have both intake and exhaust set up on it.
FYI: This was my previous post which made me go with the amd and x570 asus tuf plus wifi mobo: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...-6-year-old-PC
Thanks!
