Upgrading from the stock cooler

On the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, desktops with an air cooler typically peak at 57.9°C under load, compared with 77.6°C on the stock cooler (12 and 13 systems tested on ThermalStats). Yours peaked at 77.6°C.

Most of that gain comes from any decent tower cooler. Check that it fits your case and CPU socket before buying.

Cooling Improvements Recommended

Both your CPU and GPU are running above community average. Here are some steps to bring them down:

  • Reapply thermal paste — this alone can drop temps by 5–10°C
  • Upgrade to an aftermarket cooler (tower or AIO) for your CPU
  • Improve case airflow — add intake and exhaust fans
  • Clean dust from heatsinks, filters, and fan blades — dust is the #1 cause of rising temps
