    Ryzen 5 2600 high idle temps and temp spikes

    If you hate the downdraft cooler, just spend $32 on a Hyper 212 Black Edition. For the most part, all the problems from the OG hyper 212 were fixed. If you want, price match it at a big box store.

    legacy physx game runs super slow on Ryzen laptop

    I had this same issue with Mirror's Edge on my GTX 960M a while back. The solution was to delete PHYSXCORE.dll and PHYSXDEVICE.dll from the game binaries folder and leave PHYSXEXTENSIONS.dll. The older .DLLs would collide with the new ones and cause problems, but you gotta leave the extension...

    Ryzen 5 2600 high idle temps and temp spikes

    The stock Ryzen coolers are more than capable of handling a 2600. The problem seems more likely tied to voltage control. I would say disable MCE in your BIOS to start. Another thing to note here: idle temps are really not that important whatsoever. Pay more attention to temps under load. Your...
