During some recent troubleshooting, my son and I found ourselves comparing our two AMD side by side systems - one is 5600g based, and the other is 5500 based. The processor on the 5500 based system seems to be running about 20 degrees warmer than the one on the 5600g based system.
that seems strange to me, since the 5600g processor also has gpu circuitry in there. We just used an air compressor to make sure heatsinks are clean, and power supply air routes are working ok to remove heat from the systems.
Both have the standard AMD heatsink/cooler on them. I figured I might spend $25-$30 to try a better one out on the 5500.
Would you recommend a certain brand, or do I just need to look for one that would handle 125 Watts, rather than the actual 65 Watts?
I want one that will work out of the box with AM4 - not requiring me to add backplate to motherboard, or use some sort of adapter. Just would like, perhaps, a bigger bulk of heatsink.
Thanks!
