AMD Ryzen and heat

I saw the bench tab... but.. errmm.. I have no clue what to do, haha, oh well, never mind

There's a bench button you just click and it does it's thing. Then you can compare it with other cpus.

In anticipation of heat issues, I chose bequiet dark rock pro 4 coolers for both my itx boards, and love them. Overkill, they keep mine at close to human body temperatures, even in socal summer heat. Huge and spendy, but quiet -- you can check their site to see if it'll fit your board and case headroom. One of them was nicely discounted, snagged from Amazon warehouse; presumably returned by someone that neglected to check headroom before purchasing. Stay cool my friends. ~jm
I won't be upgrading the cooling while I'm using this mobo. 65 degrees under load is cool as a cucumber. Too cool really, given that my CPU is underperforming @ userbenchmark.com

How many of you run a modern(ish) Ryzen? They seem to run a little hot. 65C while stress testing, but I read somewhere these chips are good for up to 90 degrees or so. I know nothing about AMD. Am I totally off base here thinking my chip is actually running pretty cool for this series of chips?

Since no one else has asked, is your machine running Win 10 or Win 11? Win 11 has performance issues with AMD systems.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm running 10. I won't touch 11 for maybe another year or so.

yeah I have no clue other cpu. I just got a big number and, mm... I guess my CPU is powerful?

On both my asus boards, the default speeds/timing were really very slow, until I went to the memory manufacturer's to find proper timings, and changed these settings to match the claimed memory timings, and changed from default *power saving* profiles. Perhaps explore the bios to check/adjust CPU speed, Dram frequency and timing, and FCLK frequency,and power settings; and under bios' Monitor tab, to verify true temps? It does no harm to look around enough to get familiar with default settings to become comfortable in there. I cautiously explore each tab and change only one thing at a time, reading the page explanations under each setting as i go to figure things i am unsure about. cheers ~jm

It would be, except I have a problem which might be related. My CPU is performing very poorly on userbenchmark compared to other people's Ryzen 7 4750Gs on the CPU benchmark. It's not anything obvious like slow RAM or throttling by Windows power settings. So it almost makes me wonder if my BIOS is undervolting my chip or something?

It's called HWMonitor by CPUID - the same folks that make CPU-Z HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID[^] Edit: Now I'm hearing that tool doesn't report temps correctly on AMD systems so I'm trying this one: HWInfo64[^]

HWMonitor says the temperature is in the 45C to 75C :suss: with just some browsers and Spotify running, plus a remote desktop connection into my office PC. No games of any sort running. HWInfo has two entries called CPU Termal Trip Limit and CPU HTC Temperature Limit, they are both set to 115C :omg: The processor is AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, I bought it in Aug 2020.
Cheers, Vikram.

Thanks! It seems yours gets up hotter than mine under light load. Mine rests 35C under light load, around 60 on moderate load, to 65 under heavy loads. That's what's getting to me. This CPU isn't being driven near as hard as it can be, and it's underperforming in my benchmarks. I'm guessing at this point that it's a mobo/bios issue. I'm running the latest BIOS which I upgraded to try to fix this, but it didn't change anything. There might be a setting somewhere.

65 °C is very good if the CPU is running with all CCXs under full load. In recent years, for me and for friends and family, I have always assembled machines with Ryzen (from the 1000 version up to the latest 5000). I didn't experience any stability issues, except when the RAM was used out of specification. Sometimes 100 KHz too much on the RAM is enough to make a system unstable: then you have to play with the overclocking parameters to bring the system back to stability, but in my opinion, it is almost never worth it. But, always always always, before buying the pieces, check their compatibility and glean in the forums looking for any problems with certain combinations. Obviously, opinions on the web must always be taken "cum grano salis". For Ryzen CPU / APU with 65W of TDP usually, the supplied heatsink is sufficient. For versions with 105W of TDP, if the CPUs are always under stress, it is better to adopt more performing heatsinks. However, at around 95 degrees (or slightly less) the CCXs slow down themselves.

I have an (I think related) issue that *is* a problem. My CPU is significantly underperforming in benchmarks compared to other Ryzen 7 4750s. It's not anything obvious like cheap RAM, or windows throttling. It's like the board refuses to push the chip to anything near capacity. It's not about the clockspeed - it clocks full under load. The EDC goes to 100% as well. My board can change its performance profile I think but when I tried one of them I got a reboot under load too quickly for me to figure out for sure what happened.

Being a Ryzen 7 4750 I guess the scenario is that of a laptop. In that case, having never owned one with a Ryzen, I can't give you any suggestions. However, 65 ° C on the die is a more than the acceptable temperature for a fully loaded Ryzen 7. You have to see if it is a problem with your unit, or if other models of the same series are running all at that speed. In the first case, of course, your hardware has problems. Otherwise, in the latter case, it's a badly born laptop model built with components that are not harmonized with each other. Speaking of desktop PCs instead, I noticed that chipsets make a difference. For example, the X570 with a Ryzen 5000 has no problem pushing RAM to the max with the most extreme configurations while remaining stable all the time. Other chipsets, X470 and B550, on the other hand, are more sensitive to the type of RAM installed and in some cases, I had to lower the RAM clock a little. Personally, I prefer to mount MSI brand motherboards, the PRO or MAX series, but I also found the GigaBytes stable. However, lately, my experience is limited to AM4 Moterbords as I never mounted an Intel machine again after the first Ryzen 1000 has appeared.

The profile is set to standard stuff. It was already selected in the bios when I bought the thing. I haven't changed anything there other than the one time I set CM5 Aggressive? or something and it caused a reboot as soon as it went under load, so I changed it back. I have all stock cooling and the CPU itself is OC resistant anyway so I haven't really fiddled with overclocking anything.

Checked the bios version? It can be a bit of a pita the way e.g. asus has organised the bios updates, but I do think it is worth it. Esp. when you upgrade your cpu on the same MB, which is often an option with AMD.

Ryzen is spec'd to 95C. However standard practice for silicon is 65C if you want it to last. The lifetime vs heat is not a linear curve, you can kill a chip very quickly as you approach 125C.

I think it probably should run a little hotter under heavy load. My CPU isn't giving me performance numbers I expect of a Ryzen 4750G. The numbers aren't awful - they're within the ballpark(ish), but it's kind of like one of the cylinders isn't firing sometimes. So when I look at the cooling numbers (running cooler than normal) and combine that with the performance numbers (running slower than normal) it leads me to believe my chip is being underutilized by my mobo and/or bios.
