Thanks for the replies
I will try to post a photo of the system later
His case only has an 80 CM mm exhaust fan and then the PSU, a Seasonic M12II-520 EVO, runs on silent mode until 50% load, so it doesn't spin up to help remove the heat either. I've always said that an 80 cm mm fan moves as much air as a sneezing gnat.
Seems that I recall that we had someone else who had a 3600 that just ran HOT.
I didn't know about that feature about 50% load, I've always thought the fan speed was controlled by just temp... but I saw the specs and you're right, I've got the PSU 5-6 years ago...
I've saw several people on the internet with Ryzen 5 3600 running at 95ºC!
Its as tall as the screw wtf lol..
Looks like the same fan though. Nice and quiet at 3500RPM, I thought it would have been louder
the RPMs max out at 2500 here, seems to be the max speed for WS, and yes it's relatively silent, the intel stock one was louder but it reached that 3500 RPM figure.
with correct thermal paste at stock settings, I'd be expecting a high of 80C, 95C sounds like the paste or mounting is wrong, or its ABSOLUTELY choked of all fresh air (or the fans are oriented backwards, etc)
I've remounted it several times, made sure the four screws are tight until I couldn't turn them any more with normal force, I replaced the thermal paste with the correct amount (as stated that improved things a bit), and I've an intake 120mm fan just about in front of it, whose speed is controlled by CPU temp, so it should get enough fresh air from outside when hot. The fans are now oriented correctly, it's true I've mounted the exhaust fan backwards the first time, but I've fixed that before I made this thread
What can you say about a cooler when it’s fan shroud is thicker than the actual cooler...

@Derek12 if you don’t have a big fan for open case testing, you can use a hairdryer on high speed blowing cold air to the CPU cooler directly (to the side, not on fan)
will try that, but even without it dropped significantly!, but I will try to run a full session of CB this time (although the max temp is reached about 0,5 mins with the case closed)
Indeed. Wratih Stealth sucks so bad, the only thing you can do with it is disable Turbo and it will run at manageable temperature. How bad is it/ I replace it with Arctic Freezer 64 Pro that was meant to cool Athlon 64 and it runs the 3600 just fine with Turbo enabled
I tried disabling core performance boost, and the temps reached 80º at full.
Maybe I will get a new HS that fits in my case, and if it's still hot, then a new case (that fits in the desk space)...
Another thing,
is it possible to reduce idle clock further? Hwinfo says the minimum is 500MHz but even in power saving mode and minimum clock at 0 or 1% it only gets to 2100... it consumes about 20W in idle with its temps at 40's, while the i3 6100 consumed 1-2W and temps were basically ambient's (it's true the R5 is in order of magnitudes more powerful than the i3 but I would like to reduce that power consumption...
