Are my CPU temperatures normal for light usage?
Asked by

I just finished building my PC yesterday, and I'm using a Ryzen 7800X3D with a Tryx Panorama AIO cooler. The cooler came with pre-applied thermal paste, and I also have extra paste for future use, but I didn't add any more since I thought it wasn't necessary. I've closed all my background apps, yet my CPU temperatures still average between 40 to 65 degrees Celsius while I'm just browsing or doing work. Is this normal?

Honestly, those temps seem totally normal for your setup. As long as they stay under those limits, you're in a safe zone. So nothing to worry about!

65 degrees is pretty solid. The 7800X3D is built to handle temps much higher than that, so you’re doing great!

Seems fine to me! Just out of curiosity, are those temperatures when you're idling or under load?
CuriousCreator42: They’re mostly when I’m just browsing or opening driver software.

Those temperatures are good! When under load, it's perfectly safe—maybe a bit warmer at 40 when idle, but still fine. Don't sweat it.

SkepticalSally: Thanks! I just saw some posts about people having temps in the 30s and 40s and thought mine should be lower for everything, especially during gaming.
