5600x running at 96C

No, use the one in bios. You can use ryzen master as well but bios should be better overall. Also some motherboards don't have undervolt setting in the bios so for them Ryzen master is the only option but not for you as your motherboard does have curve optimizer.
 
Post some pictures of your computer.
It looks like your airflow is restricted causing the high temps. 60 degrees plus at idle is very high.

How have you installed your cabinet fans? How many are pulling air in, and how many are pushing air out?

Who installed your cooler? How much, and which thermal paste did you use?

To see what the best temps you can achieve with your current setup, run the computer with the side panels off, and keep it on top of your desk where there's enough airflow.

Turning on eco mode does limit the temps to around 85C however the clock speeds are around a 1000 Mhz slower. Will benchmark both modes to see actual performance loss.

The pc is placed in a bit of a cramped space so airflow may be restricted.

The cooler was installed for the first time by the Primeabgb people in mumbai and twice since by me. Used a pea sized amount and the paste was the one included with the noctua cooler, the exact model I dont remember.
 
What you are going through is not normal behavior.
The 5600x doesn't keep boosting until it hits 95C the way the ryzen 7000 does.
In an ambient of 32C, idle shouldn't be more than 50C. Either your cooler isn't making adequate contact or its a voltage issue.
I would say open the instruction manual again and make sure its the correct mounti6ng hardware, spacers and the correct backplate.
My cpu block came with its own backplate and little plastic washers. I thought the backplates are the same and used the stock mobo backplate. Ended up with issues very similar to yours.
The threads tightened down but the mounting pressure wasn't enough. I could barely tell the two backplates apart visually. With the correct backplate installed, temps didn't go as high and even took longer to hit max. Wasn't like an instant jump to 95C. That usually means a bad mount.
Check for a bios update as well. If its a voltage issue, that will help.

85C on eco mode? Yikes. Definitely provide us with as many photos of your PC from outside and inside as well. We are all running blind here.

The cooler initially didnt come with an AM4 kit which noctua sent free of charge. So the mounting hardware should be correct. Ordered a new AIO so will check with it.
Will check for BIOS updates.

Take a video / bunch of photos when dismounting your noctua cooler to mount the aio. Take special care to get clear pictures of the thermal paste both on the cpu and the cooler without disturbing it. Checking the spread pattern of the paste may help narrow down causes.
Do a bios update first though. If that just fixes the issue, you have the option of cancelling the AIO order before it arrives.

Will do. Thanks
 
Bro it’s definitely not the cooler. I am running 5700x with an air cooler, overclocked to max stable settings and still doesn’t cross 80 on full load.

Pretty sure AIO is not gonna help you. Maybe it’s something else. Try with single core test, I am suspect one of the cores have gone defective (very less likely, but still possible)

Yeah my thinking is the Aio will rule out the cooler being bad or the processor being the issue. If it turns out to be the processor, I will just upgrade to a 5700x3d

Hi, I have a 5600x paired with a Noctua U12S since 2020 and whenever I am gaming it touches 96C within 5 mins and stays there. I have tried repasting and cleaning the fans but to no effect.

My understanding is that 5600x being a 65w should be cooled adequately by the noctua cooler. Does anyone with a 5600x or this combo has this issue.

Also my motherboard is a x570 Aorus Master and I was wondering whether it is worthwhile to upgrade to a 5700x3d as I dont want waste a good motherboard by upgrading to a 7000 or 9000 series. My GPU is a RTX 3080FE
Also planning to repaste my 3080 fe so if anyone has any advice or good guides please help

If You want to upgrade then you can choose these cpu:
5800x3d(buy from outside)
5700x3d.
or if you do heavy work which requires more core then you can look for Ryzen 9.
Don't waste your money AM5 Because already you have good pc.
AM4 is still gonna alive for 5 years or you can use this system for more than 10 years.

Yeah planning to get 5700x3d
 
Also,I am planning to upgrade my NZXT 440 Cabinet also, Any recommendations for a good mesh Case. Also how is Lian Li O11 Vision Compact?
Budget upto 12K

Lancool 216 is what I would suggest. Among the best airflow-focused/cable-management friendly cases you can get currently.

Final update, moved everything to lancool 216, temps are down further. First time I think I have seen my 3080 boost higher than advertised boost. The Nzxt case had extremely bad airflow.

Try undervolting GPU, it will reduce power consumption and give you better temps while still maintaining same frequency, higher if you do an OC+UV together which will be better overall since temps are good anyway. Check out a guide on youtube if you don't know how to.

Great tip. Was able to get power consumption down 20% with higher boost clocks (1900 Mhz).

Also if anyone knows, my Lancool 216 front argb fans dont light up with the argb cable from the hub plugged in but when I remove the argb cable from my board they light up. Have connected more fans to a different argb header and they work fine.

You are welcome. I forgot to say this and you must have already done it but you can increase memory speed as well. Just don't over do it because I heard those memory chips already run hot enough on RTX 3000 series. I have my 3070's set at +850mhz, it's stable up to +950mhz I think but being safe here.

I'm surprised your 5600x managed to run at -30mV all core without causing instability. Try running prime95 for 30 mins at least to see if it's stable because I doubt it. My 5700X3D can do -30mV all core but X3D chips are much more likely to be able to do it because of their lower clock speed and especially lower max boost. -100mhz clock speed on max boost?
Also do a Cinebench benchmark run and compare the results online.
