Why is my Ryzen 7 9700X idling so hot?

Asked By ChillaxingDude42 On

I've noticed that my Ryzen 7 9700X is idling at temperatures between 54-57 degrees Celsius, and every now and then it spikes up to 65 degrees. Just a few days ago, I updated my BIOS and ran the curve optimizer, which I thought would help. Before this, it was idling at a cooler 47-49 degrees. Under gaming load, the temperatures seem to be fine, averaging around 80 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees. I'm looking for tips on how to improve the cooling system, especially since I've already set up the temperature curves and everything.

There's nothing to really worry about with the temps you're describing. Just make sure your case has good airflow and maybe look into better cooling if you're concerned, but you should be fine for now.

Those temps are actually pretty typical for Ryzen CPUs, especially under certain conditions. By the way, what CPU cooler are you using right now? That might have a big impact on your temperatures.

Honestly, your CPU temperatures seem pretty normal. But since you're using the stock cooler, that could explain your higher idling temps. Upgrading to a better cooler might help, especially if you're dealing with high ambient temperatures where you live.
