CPU 70-80 degrees and

Hello

Installing a water cooling on a Ryzen 5 5500 .......... it's going to cost more than the processor itself or just barely less....

A good little Pure Rock slim will be perfect and not too expensive.

As I asked above, will it damage the part?

For there to be a real risk, temperatures need to be much higher, around 95/100° and the thermal protections of either the CPU or the motherboard must be faulty. No chance, it won't risk anything.

Waiting for more responses; I'm attracting trolls....

Hello

Indeed, with the basic fans provided, people complain that they are not very effective.

But players who use overclocking software.

So in this case, yes, it is possible to put a more efficient cooler. It's never a requirement, it's to push the limits.

It should be noted that while AMD loudly states everywhere that the warranty does not work if we overclock, it is the first to provide and promote all the software that allows it to be done.

The most important thing is to never turn on the power if there is no thermal paste and the cooler is not installed and its fan connected of course.

This is the main cause of CPU failure; one must have disassembled the PC to make this mistake.

In the case of overclocking, it's true that the software allows bypassing the usual normal protections. It is always a risk that overclockers take knowingly.

Everyone can make a handling error.

This can cost a processor. around €100 if I saw correctly.

So avoid getting carried away by everything we read on gaming sites and the videos that often show what nobody can achieve without having problems.

In normal operation, by leaving all normal protections, one realizes that recent processors are very well protected.

And the temperatures you indicate, well, no serious problem, you will experience slowdowns or crashes of the game or the PC if it lasts too long, at first.

The official limit is 90° so yes we are getting close, but the processor can last quite a while to become obsolete without dying if we remain reasonable.

There you go

Hello,

80°c is still acceptable.

It's not just about the CPU cooling, but also the case ventilation; what do you have for ventilation?

Two intake fans at the front and one exhaust fan at the back or top is pretty good for most mid-range PCs.

Thank you for your responses, but I don’t really know much about this, what does “not putting in the current” mean? So I shouldn’t boost my fans? And the fans are the stock ones from the Ryzen 5500, so the Wraith Stealth.

So if I understand correctly, it’s not too risky. I just hope the CPU lasts me 2-3 years, that would be great.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,

I recently built a machine somewhat equivalent with a 5900, and with this kind of processor, there are no miracles if you want to significantly lower the temperature; you have to switch to water cooling. In my case, I have a Cooler Master ML240L, and I'm at a maximum of 70°, around 50° when idle.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I have a friend who is knowledgeable about the subject. He tells me that it's not really normal for it to heat up so much, especially since it's only a week old and everything is new. He thinks there might be a fan installed backward, so I'll check that, and if not, I'll buy better fans in a few months.
