Question AMD 3950x High temps?

[TheSwashbuckler]

Hi, I seem to have on average about 60-66 celcius of CPU temp. I am assuming this is way too high and am wondering what might be causing it? I was thinking of taking the case off, taking off the CPU cooler and re-applying thermal with Artice MX-2 but will only if it's the issue

SETUP
Case : Define R6
Motherboard : Asrock Taichi 570
CPU : ryzen 9 3950x
RAM : Corsair 32gb 3600
PSU: Seasonic Ultra Prime Platinum 80w
SSD : Samsung 500gb Pro 2
Sec HDD: Seagate Hybrid 1tb
CPU Fan: Noctua D15 CPU Cooler

Thermal paste usage : Noctua one that came with my CPU cooler....applied with the pea technique. I do have some Artic MX-2 but didn't use that. Should I?

It was very hot the other day (meaning outside my house) but I had the aircon and about the same temp it normally is inside, but the CPU was running at 78-82c

Attached screens for your reference and I average about 5-7% cpu usage.



Thanks

Installed that power profile what do I look for? Can't see a difference so far.

...oh yea has anyone else noticed the latest version of RM doesn't tell you what your best core is with a star next to it?

Do you see a speed and temp difference at idle?

No but I have a 3700X on 280mm rad, changes might not be so obvious. I'll run the profile for awhile see how it goes. On clock speed differences I haven't watched clocks that closely, I do run After Effects a lot that loads the CPU up and down like crazy.

Maybe use Ryzen Master to set all cores at a lower clock than boost?

I don't have any issues with how my system is running except the Asus fan control in the BIOS could have better fuzzy logic.

i haven't had those AMD power plans for a little while, i believe after a certain windows update. Can others confirm?

If i'm wrong here, how do i get them back and are they even useful?

Pretty sure the official AMD power plans are part of the AMD Chipset Driver.

omg... have i been running my windows without my chipset driver? (not joking) how do i check? Which do i need for my system? MB: Aorus B450 Pro Wifi

Check device manager to see if you have an "bangs" if not then you're using the Microsoft certified driver set. Which can be fine most of the time.

just downloaded the B450 drivers off amd's website and installed it. Got the ryzen power plan, and probably an update to a bunch of random small stuff too.

I would hope Microsoft properly understands your motherboard and processor by now. Wait what am I saying this is Microsoft.
