Sounds like the cooler isnt installed properly and making full contact on the CPU, otherwise it wouldnt be that high

Yeah that is too high even for stock cooler, normally 40-45, with PBO on could be 50ish but never ever 75 idle

nothings had any big issues other than an ssd failure but that was just because of a crappy brand

currently using MX-6 arctic

I would bet as the last guy that reploed that it's with the cooler. It's better if you double check the contact points between the cpu and the cpu fan. It may be highly unlikely that it's any other problem unless your fan isn't doing it's job properly. Also double check your thermal paste it might be drying too quickly to have that sort of problem.

i had a professional put the cooler on so there shouldn't be any issues with that, fans in the correct way and has no dust on it

I had a professional technician forgot to lock my ssd with screw, and one of them gave my gpu backplate deep scratches

i've checked and for one they are highly rated and the cpu fan is better installed than it was at first

Did you remove the old paste from the Cooler and the CPU before adding new paste?
Could also be that you didnt add enough paste.

anyone could be a "professional"

if a professional repasted he should have tested it and made sure it was working properly.you need to take it back to him.whats your ambient temperature ?

MX-6 is good and has no curing time so that cooler has issues either with itself or installation.

For the record, MX-6 is one of the PREFERRED pastes for GPU's as there is no curing time, although, I personally, still support the Arctic Silver 5 (which is from another company) but has a long ass curing time (they still use it for some GPU's and "bake" it prior to retail sales).

Those AMD Wraith coolers are not that great but they should handle that CPU nonetheless.

Three things, OP:

Make sure the cooler is NOT TOO TIGHT.

Make sure you are snugging these screws in an "X" pattern (i.e. top left then bottom right then top right, bottom left 2 turns at a time each until hand snug and do NOT use an electric screwdriver).

If that cooler is too tight, the paste will not work, if the cooler is too loose, again, the paste will not work, plus not to mention not to use too much paste, literally takes only 1-2mm, spread evenly across the ENTIRE die - I usally leave 1mm at the edges so there is no overspill), I would not recommend the "pea drop" method "experts" claim is fine.

And yes, tightening these screws is similar to tightening lug nuts on a car which uses the start pattern and almost the same technique but for a car, you torque those bolts to stage 2 (finger tight on an impact driver) in a star pattern, then you jam them full torque again using that star pattern and then after about 100 miles, you retorque those lug nuts one last time to full torque again using that star pattern - for anyone interested in learning how to change a car tire properly (DO NOT use anti-seize on lug nuts no matter what backyard mechanics say).

So, OP, is that cooler attached to the PWM or PWR connector on the MOBO?

Is there a chance that there was protective plastic film on the bottom of the cooler and you forgot to remove it before installing the cooler on the processor?

Odds are the 'professional' made a, mistake and forgot to remove the plastic sticker from the heatsinks before fitting it given those temperatures.

Mistakes happen.

From your description it seems there is NO thermal connection between the processor and the radiator.

It is actually easy to check. Turn off fan (pull the cable out of motherboard) and touch the radiator. If it is mounted properly it should be hot (couple degrees lower than CPU, but still hot, so watch out). If it is coolnor only warm, then it is not mounted properly.

If it is hot, then your fan is not working or the hot air accumulates in the box and does not go out.

AMD stock cooler comes with nicely factory applied thermal paste. If you mounted it properly it would stay OK for next 10 years.

of course i forgot the thermal paste removal off of the cooler

lmfao, the person who originally did it used the factory thermal paste and probably didn't put the heatsink on well enough (or where i am just dried up the thermal paste heaps quicker since its been about 5 years)

anyway, the professional did his job correctly i'm just an idiot for not taking the thermal paste off of the cooler, he asked if i put the thermal paste on and just tightened the screws for me since those spring loaded screws are an absolute pain
