Are My Ryzen 5600X Temps Normal with a Stock Cooler?
Asked by

I recently swapped my CPU for a Ryzen 5600X and paired it with an RX 6600. I don't have air conditioning, but my case has four fans. I checked the temps using HWInfo 64, and after gaming (specifically Valorant), I noticed my CPU peaked at 91-93 degrees, averaging around 79-83 degrees. Given that I live in a humid country and it's summer, I'm a bit worried if these temperatures are normal for a stock cooler. I've heard mixed opinions, and I'd love to get some feedback on this situation.

Yeah, those temps are pretty common for the Ryzen 5600X with a stock cooler. AMD made a cost-cutting move by opting for the Wraith Stealth cooler, which is okay for the 5600, but not ideal for the 5600X. If you’re experiencing peaks around 91-93°C, that’s on the higher side, especially after gaming, but it shouldn't be an immediate concern during normal use. You might want to consider an upgrade to keep things cooler, like the Thermalright Assassin series, which is budget-friendly and works well.

I don’t use a stock cooler either, but I have much cooler temps while gaming—typically below 55°C. I usually game at 2K resolution, while my nephew, who games at 1080p, sits around 70-75°C. It might just be the warmer climate and humidity you’re dealing with that’s causing the higher temps!

Yeah, Ryzen 5 CPUs can get hot, and 95°C is where they can operate under load. If you're staying below that, you're generally fine. Just make sure your airflow is good in your case, and consider upgrading your cooler when you can.

InitialPoster123: That’s reassuring to hear. I’m definitely looking into better coolers. I have a Tecware Forge M Omni case and a budget, so I’m considering options like the Peerless Assassin 120 and Deepcool AG400. Do you think those would fit?
ChillThermal99: Those coolers should work perfectly for your build. Just double-check the clearance in your case.
