Ryzen 5 3600 CPU Cooling: Is Box Cooler Sufficient for 3.6-4.2 GHz Boost Mode?

Question

Good morning,
I am having trouble resolving the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU cooling issue in my new computer. Is it worth buying a cooling box for this processor, or is it going to do it? I would like to add that the processor will be clocked at 3.6 Ghz - 4.2 GHz (in boost mode), which is as stated by the manufacturer by default.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello. You have to judge. It is sufficient, but when loaded it will surely be heard. With a long load of temperatures above 70 degrees quite likely. If you decide that it is too loud, too warm - you can replace it, but if you already get it, you can put it on and see if it will last.

Facto. · Answer

These processors don't get hot like the old ones. My 2600 with Fera 3 cooling is 28-35 degrees with normal operation. The question is what do you use the computer for, because without demanding games it won't heat up much at the moment.

Certainly decent cooling is quieter. Better work culture. The fan does not turn it like that, but in general you have to treat the computer as a whole. You hear the loudest element. I can't hear the Fery 3 at all. But you can hear 3 fans in the housing. I can reduce the revs and then I can't hear the computer at all, but the breeze is weaker and these 3 degrees more. Not a big difference, but I don't play any demanding games.

If you throw in a graphics card, you'll probably hear it.

You can always buy cooling.

The computer will be used for work but also for demanding simulation games (such as, for example, MFS 2020)

So if you want to help him, buy him a Fera 3 (105 PLN) / Arctic Freezer 34 (110 PLN) or even a Fortis (160 PLN). Even for a third party liability insurance, it should be enough. If you were already buying additional cooling, it probably doesn't make sense for the weaker ones. Some expensive ones, I also think there is no need for them. The more so if you do not plan a civil liability insurance.

It is also worth asking yourself whether the housing is sufficiently ventilated? If the oven is made in the housing, no cooling will help.

Facto. · Answer

It's a fact. I have a ventilated one - mesh front, mesh top, bottom for the power supply in the basement and in the back + 3 fans. With the fans turned off, it is a difference of 3 degrees in normal operation, but when you start heavy loading, you can see the difference.

In addition, not only the processor heats up - the card, NVMe drives can also heat up quite strongly, so the airflow in the housing is very important.

I will buy a used graphics card. More on priv

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 BOX - and it is enough, you can hardly hear it.

ITSpec. · Answer

And what? 2700 has the Wraith Spire and 3600 has the Wraith Stealth. This comparison is pointless. Think and write something in return.

Marcin125 · Answer

BOX it is that you get cooling with the CPU. I have always used AMD and have always used the cooling provided by the manufacturer. There was NEVER a problem.

ITSpec. · Answer

Come on, don't you say! Still don't understand what I wrote? Should I write in print for you to embrace? WRAITH SPIRE IS BETTER THAN WRAITH STEALTH. Capable of dissipating more heat.

PS3251 · Answer

It's best not to buy cooling for now, just put on a box one, download e.g. cpu-z and start the most demanding game. You can check if the temperature and volume are ok. Cooling can always be purchased.

mati.ros · Answer

I close the topic. The temperatures on the box cooling are normal.
