This is Why Ryzen 5 3600s Are FAILING!

Little bit of confusion in the comments of this video so hopefully I can clear it up here. volt-amps and cooling is what you give a CPU, heat is what you get. No harm can come out of checking your temperatures while you are gaming, and making sure they are, say below 70c. Heat also causes combustion, which is why it's so important to keep it at low as possible in the everyday PC. Ultimately though, on the a320 (without changing our cooling solution), we can reduce these temps by undervolting, and setting in a max temp limit (which also reduces the clock speeds to levels that consume less voltages too).
So I was working more in reverse order in this video. However the video is designed to help people without much knowledge on the subject too.
As for the aggressive voltages, AMD should release a bios update, with the option to select a more conservatively tuned CPU, as we could only really undervolt -.075mv before we reached instability on this setup.

I encountered exactly the same problem when I upgraded my GPU from GTX 1660 to RTX 3080 while using Ryzen 5 3600. First of all, yes, I know that the R5 3600 is not the best CPU for the RTX 3080, but I was planning to update gradually. What happened to me was that I never saw temperatures exceeding 80 degrees Celsius on my R5 3600 when I was using the GTX 1660.


After upgrading to the RTX 3080, my CPU temperatures spiked up to 90+ degrees Celsius even on not-so-demanding games. At first, I thought it was time to change my thermal paste. However, repasting didn't yield any results. Then I considered the possibility that my airflow was inadequate. Due to limited space and a tight case placement, I had only 3 intake fans in the front and 1 exhaust fan at the back. The RTX 3080 was generating more heat, and the stock Wraith cooler was struggling in such conditions. To address this, I borrowed fans to use as exhaust at the top of the case. This effort only reduced the temperature by 3-5 degrees, which didn't satisfy me.

After a few hours of research, my final conclusion was that the RTX 3080 was too demanding for my R5 3600. I initially thought the only problem would be a bottleneck, but the issue was causing my CPU temperatures to rise significantly despite my CPU load being no more than 60%.

To address the overheating problem, I purchased an AIO Liquid Cooler. Now, the temperatures are relatively low, around 70-75 degrees Celsius even under maximum load. However, I'm still not completely satisfied. I believe the temperatures can be even lower with a more suitable CPU.

I have the same shit, MB is X570, nearly 1 year all worked fine, Temps max 50 - 60 C.
nzxt watercooler, no OC, since some Months it raises up to 80-90 ! with only 10% cpu use ! at last also if i'm in bios.
today 2 minutes after start it shuts down.
today i sent it back

i bought the 3600x in 2019. i have the same problem, over 92°C. just bought a new big cooler and put new paste on it.

Looks like I lucked out going with my AIO. With the water cooling I hit max of 65. Guess the 3600 really loves water!

it seems to be doing the same to ryzen 7 5800X mine was just pumping so much voltages with a highest end corsair aio cooler it would go up to 70c!

This video is highly misleading.

OP is trying to improve performance using a crappy CPU cooler.. There's so many videos on the wraith stealth cooler and 3600 already.

The overwhelming consensus is that you need a new CPU cooler. Wraith prism at minimum or something else..for best performance go with an AIO.

Not sure what the purpose of this video is. Only in the last few seconds does he say "get a better CPU cooler"

Smh

I will call it the fault of manufacturer

My self I all ways found the stock coolers that came with processor's complete junk. I all ways bought an aftermarket cooler that's more than capable of cooling the processor in question.

They dont fail, owners fail them.

PBO does not do anything under an all core load. Did you read anything about PBO before trying to advise the public? PBO will boost when there is thread under utilization, not during cinebench. Also, it has been stated numerous times by AMD that these CPUs are designed to run full tilt up to 90C before throttling. You're losing 10% performance because of a little fear of heat. Use a better cooler or run in ECO Mode. Very simple.

OK so. I'm watching this now using R5 3600 with recently changed cooler and thermal paste and general cleaning (circa 2 months ago) and am kinda confused. On the older cooler I reached 80c pretty regularly on games - it was also a really hot summer and my PC does not have particularly good positioning for a PC - which eventually led to me going and opening my wallet for the change. I don't remember the model right now as I'm not at home, I remember though that the tech that was helping me out was either against or really pro silentium coolers, anyway. The thing is. I'm not reaching 80c anymore, not to mention 90. Sure under full load with cinebench and over heavy tests I'm getting around 78c tops, and while gaming that goes to around 72 (was the highest I remember getting), which sounds much lower than what's presented here...?

its kinda odd that he has issues with his amd cpus while its in an asus motherboard.

People made fun of me for getting an aio for my 3600, jokes on them mine is still running great.

I personally had issues with my 3700X on stock settings, as it shut down due to overheating with a Scythe Fuma 2, ended up running it at 4.2Ghz at 1.25V manual, no PBO or XFR and that solved the issue, the spikes of 1.4V where literally killing the cpu by overheating it, even with my high end cooler and thermal grizzly kryonaut.
And after investigating a little bit seems to be a common issue with the ryzen 3000 series cpu's.

i have a ryzen 5 3600 i use a GPU 1060 6 go vram works great bought it 3 years ago the R5 3600. my GPU is 7 years old . i do not get hign temps and that is fine with me. i use a liquid cooler

if you disabled pbo, the second set of changes literally wouldn't change anything since pbo was disabled..

ryzen 5 3600 runs very hot out of the box. just get a midrange CPU cooler for it and won't have such issues.

undervolted is great , my 5800X3d dropped 20c with minimal performance loss ,even with a good cooler it was sounding like a hair dryer and running up over 80c in some applications , it is more useful on this part with the v cache but even so , for those with weaker cooling solutions this will really help , just be sure to drop it in small increments and monitor stability , if you go too low and wont boot just clear cmos and set to the last stable voltage

I think your unit is defective and that's that. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with 74 max temp in synthetic tests, furmark etc. I do have some good airflow in the case and the CPU has an Arctic tower cooler

The A320 (In my case, an AsRock 320M) motherboard does indeed work well with a R53600 (Although it started to crap out when using 3 pin extension cables for my fans) I used this combo myself for a while.

i just order it online and this video is recommended
OMG i hope it wont fail

5600x here and i never found a problem with it even at 4k gamin

I see around 65W of energy, I see 90 degree temps, I see crappy cooling! Since the 3600 uses Indium as a TIM (no crappy cheap stuff that degrades), up the fan speeds/get a bigger heatsink; simple.

If you use a stock cooler you are dumb. If you sell a cpu cooler with a cpu like amd and intel than you are dumb. If you run a cpu over 80c you are dumb. Lol

90 bucks I’m coming from a 2012 ivy bridge 3770 and have a 2070super aio 360 for a cpu mb and 16gb ddr4 would that be a huge upgrade for me?

Who the fuck doesn't have a delete key?

4 GHz locked, PBO and CPB off, voltage is at normal setting in BIOS so it is 1.1V. Works fine and stable for me temperature doesnt go above 51 degrees in games. But! If i go above 4GHz it starts to freeze and crash whole system no matter what voltage i set. Also when i go above 3200MHz on RAMs it fails again. I think CPU's IMC is also failing.

My 3600 isn't failing

Idk my 3800x is holding up fine.

every beats down on the 4500, but it is a bare bone CPU that will run games decent in my experience!

Got an upgrade chose the 5 3600
Temps 🤞 are normal even perfect id say I have the a320m gygabytes version, temps are like 50-60ish when gaming, 35-45 idling

Edit: although it’s been a month only

u need a cooler and new ( very good) thermal paste, why to do thiw changes ?

I was using a 5900x on A520M for many months with no issue :) used a 240mm aio and it was perfect for gaming at 1440p

Reseat the CPU, Likely a air pocket between cooler and CPU. Stop using pea size method and do bagged finger so as to make full coverage of chip.

Well, reduce the voltage, raise amperage and watts ( PPT / SOC / TDC / EDC ) limit all the way to the max and you will have the best performance possible with low temps. Do this via AMD Ryzen Master, it's very easy. My R5 3600 is completely 200% stable on all games at 1.125V 4.2GHz, the temps never go above 55°, this cpu is very good for real.

But the default settings are completely garbage for some reasons, very high temps and the amperage/watts limit is way too low and is always at 100% limiting the performance of the CPU, but at least AMD give us the software to change that easily.

been running my R5 3600 at 4.2-4.3ghz, sometimes undervolted for 3yrs now. 0 problems

i have r5 3600 with wraith prism cooler and my idle temps is 40c and while playing league my temps goes 55c - 58c, are those temps okay?

Ik have only 65 Degrees under load when i play the outher worlds spacer edition on my Ryzen 5 3600 .. so its more a cooling problem if you go higher. Or you try to ask more what the cpu can deliver, then you get high temp too.. Or you psu is a silver line piece of junk.. etc etc.. you only made this video for clickbait

As someone using a 3600 (Stock Cooler) in a not so well ventilated case i can say that undervolting is everything with Ryzen CPUs. Have been running with 3.8 ghz locked @ 1.1V for a while now without any issues

I have this issue since launched, i fixed it by getting a beefy ass cooler and overclocking it at 4.3ghz @ 1.25v lmao. Hovers around 70c+ under load

i have r5 3600 that i brought 2 years ago and mounted on gigabyte b450m-ds3h(updated bios).Using deepcool gammaxx 400 ex, I got 78c when i cpu stress test using prime95 and in gaming mode i got 56c-58c which is good result for me. Then i try to turn off core performance boost so that the clock locks at 3.600ghz, i got 43c maximum while gaming and using emulator and i had no problems with the peroformance.

Peel of cpu cap and repaste it, not supposed to but can be done

i got this MB and Processor im hitting 78 in my 4.2ghz all core. 9500score. slight undervolt at 1.3v everything else disabled. no boost no nothin cstates off. i got this processor running perfect at its Turbo clock and low heat 65's in games all day for 2 years straight. 100% fans always on CPU cuz im COOL like that.

Thanks, I had to disable PBO and CPB because it goes over 80c in gaming, There's no voltage off set on ASROck B450 HDV R4... Running at 3.6ghz and it's about 10c cooler than my ryzen 5 2600 with stock cooler

I have a stock 3600xt with a Noctua NH-U12A. I get a 76°C in Cinebench R23, and I'm rarely getting over 60°C when I'm gaming. I think the max temp I got while gaming was like 65°C in a 28°C room.

Get a Noctua U14-S. Or an IDTech SE-224, which outperforms ALL coolers less than $75. Wraith anything is crap.

Thank u very much kind sir!

MY rizen 5 3600 works great with my RTX 1060 i get close to 100FPS not fully gigh end more medium my temps never reach 70 degrees never i have a corsair IAO 2 fan. I never overclcok.

My r5 3600 failed and now it works with only one memory stick. Can I fix this issue? Mobo Gigabyte a320m s2h.
