So I've noticed that the Ryzen has much higher temps compared to my old i7 6700k. I get that it's new architecture etc
I've also done some research and I don't want to classify this "inquiry" under, bad chips that run too hot. I simply want to create and understanding of what's normal etc.
My system specs from my 6700k setup is exactly the same. I replaced the motherboard, cpu and put in a samsung 970 evo M2 drive. Same fan configuration etc and pretty much the same fan profiles. My CPU idles in the 50-60 degrees celcius, compared to my intel which was in the mid 20's, maybe low 30's if it the ambient temps are higher. During gaming, it stays in the 60's, hasn't hit 70 but I haven't played any heavy games. After exiting the game, the temps don't come back down for some reason.
Maybe some BIOS tweaks would help lower temps?
I also put the thermal paste using the single blob in the center approach, but I've read that for Ryzen a horizontal line that covers 80% of the width of the chip is the way to go? Some say it doesn't matter...
Any suggestions would be helpful. For now, I haven't touched BIOS, other than implementing fan profiles and DOCP for my memory.
Thanks.
