success comes in the form of technical solutions to problems, not appeals to our emotional side
50C idle is normal for a Ryzen 3rd gen with a stock cooler. Ryzen 3rd gen is roughly the same powerdraw as 1st gen but they since downgraded the coolers (the cooler R5 3600 is shipping with now is roughly the same they used to ship 1st gen 4 cores with) due to 2nd gen being considerably less power hungry.

You must screw the cooler evenly tight to the mobo/socket.
If you give a few screws 5 turns and a few 8 turns the paste does not spread correct.
Use paste the size of a little pea in the middle.
Edit: My 2600x with BeQuite Dark4 is 35 on idle and max spiking to 75 on load (70-75).
I do have OC all cores 4.2ghz all the time.
So if yours spikes to max Ghz for some reason (playing on 120hz/fps for example) it is not strange you get 75 degrees.

Hey guys OP here sorry for the delay in responding but today is sunday morning so I am taking the day to tinker with the PC. Just removed the amd stock cooler and the CPU came off with it lol (the cpu left the socket even though the lever was in the lock position when I pulled off the cpu fan. Now I am having a hard time removing the cpu from the fan without damaging its pins. Will update soo. Posting on my phone and it is a bit of a struggle to upload the pics to share with you guys but will try
edit 7pm EST time: I removed the stock fan and cleaned old paste and put new artic MX4 past and spread it out with the spatula they offer. Still peaking at 82C and high temps in the low 60s (high 50C) with minimal things running.

What are your ambient temps? People saying its too high might be people living in alaska. Using an h150i/full front mesh case my idle temps are also around 50c, but my ambient temps is around 35c. Playing games is also 55-70c. Ryzen idle temps is just weird. 70-77c while gaming with that thin stock cooler sounds normal to me.

Thanks. will try to swap to the evo 212 and see. waiting on the amd bracket for it.
Yeah, I live in the Caribbean so hot AF ambient temps of 30C+ now in summer. If once I put the Evo it still is hot then I will keep tinkering around and see what it is. thanks!
