Remember, cases and fan layouts also affect temperatures. I haven't tried the stock cooler (I actually took the fan off of it) but based on other people's reports, there's nothing wrong here. I was using a cooler that wasn't designed for AM4 (granted a LOT bigger), and I got idle temps of 55. What gives? Any suggestions on how to lower temps with bios tweaks, Ryzen Master tweaks, etc? (Mac is terrible for gaming anyways, so never buy one if you can avoid it. I've read of people having idle temps in the 30s WITH the Rystock cooler and I can't seem to get anywhere near that. Get someone to write the software for Mac, it won't just run on Mac otherwise. Side note: There appears to be 2 settings for PBO in bios - not sure if this is specific to Asus or not but I don't know which one to change/which one works. I tried setting an 'undervolt' in bios using PBO by setting the PPT to 70 (down from 88 stock), but the change doesn't seem to register in Ryzen Master. I have ensured a good thermal paste application, that my cooler is tightened as much as possible, and that my PC has adequate cooling. I checked temps in Ryzen Master, and got idle readings around 65☌ (no other programs running) and game temps in excess of 75☌.
I run a Rywith the stock cooler on an Asus Prime X470 Pro, and after upgrading to the most recent chipset release ( 2.13.27.501) I seem to be running hotter than before.
