Hey y’all, So I’ve been using my newly built PC for about 2 weeks now. I already had a couple concerns regarding load and idle temps. But, now I am really worried something might be wrong. I’m going to attach a couple of pictures showing my temps under load with MSI Afterburner and at idle with HWMonitor. This is a picture of my CPU temps running Outerworlds: Here’s an example (also in Outworlds) of a spike in my CPU temps: Finally, here are two screenshots of my CPU and GPU idle temps on HWInfo with the max and min values. CPU: GPU: All in all, these temps seem extremely high to me considering the load. Especially regarding the CPU. As for the GPU I’m not all that concerned. My temperature target is 83C in afterburner and I have it on Prefer Maximum Performance in Nvidia control panel. So that’s probably introducing a little more heat to my GPU. The main concern is my CPU so if anyone has any answers that would be great. My Specs: GPU: EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 (Dual Fan) RAM: 2x16Gb Crucial Ballistix @ 3600Mhz MOBO: Asus TUF Gaming x-570-Pro PSU: Corsair RM850 Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow Fan Setup: 3 front intake, 3 top exhaust, 1 back exhaust Any advice would be great. Thanks!

The inquiry seems to focus on how frequently those high temperatures occur. A 70°C at 14% load appears quite intense for a desktop, though maybe manageable for a laptop. This raises concerns about cooler placement if it's a desktop and potential issues with the cooling case. Watercooling is also a consideration, which adds another layer of complexity.

Execute Prime95 to evaluate your performance metrics. My 5900X running on a custom loop still reaches 75C in RDR2 at around 20% load, which aligns with what an NH-D15 would experience at a slightly lower frequency. I estimate one or two cores operating at full capacity around 4.7GHz, contributing to higher overall temperatures. This is expected considering the default Ryzen algorithm's voltage output. Prime95, Cinebench R23, or similar all-core stress tests can confirm whether the issue exists. If it consistently reaches 90C for a prolonged period, your cooling setup may be faulty. Conversely, if it stabilizes in the 70s at roughly 4.4GHz, that's within normal ranges. The last time I ran Prime95 with my water-cooled 5900X, it settled at 4.4GHz with temperatures in the high 60s.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your concern about Prime95's safety. It’s good to be cautious about potential risks.

It acts like a powerful virus, able to ruin older CPUs that lacked throttling features. Modern chips are tougher since they can reduce speed when overheating.

Previously there were some problems, but most things built in the last decade work fine. I've tested it on all systems I've owned over the past 5 to 6 years, even with older models like FX and X58, and nothing has encountered issues.

some configurations in p95 might harm your cpu, and the same applies to occt and furmark. There are options I wouldn't use on any system. It's better to use cinebench r20/23, cpu-z, realbench or blender for realistic workloads. I still think the occt memory test is solid for testing ram if you don't want to run memtest. Temperature issues during tests are usually fixable with a lower voltage, and idle temps aren't usually a big deal.
