Hello everyone, I own an 8350 with a motherboard 990-xa-ud3 and a cooler Master Seidon. When I run a very demanding game, I notice spikes reaching around 70°C. If I turn on Prime95 in a few seconds, the temperature drops to about 2°C and it stops once it hits 70°C or higher. The Vcore is +0.25 and there are no failures, just overheating. Optimized BIOS settings keep the temperature above 65°C and cause the system to slow down, but it still manages to run.

Which Seidon model from Coolermaster is the single-rad or dual-rad version? Additionally, Prime95 forces every part of the CPU to operate at maximum capacity, far exceeding typical real-world usage, resulting in temperatures that are not achievable under normal conditions.

Which coolermaster Seidon should I choose? Single-rad or dual-rad? Also, Prime95 forces every part of the CPU to its maximum capacity, far beyond what any processor would experience in normal operation, resulting in temperatures you won’t realistically encounter. 120 single, but with two vents... Ty, maybe now I’m getting a bit confused—I haven’t been monitoring temperatures and might be getting hotter than expected. I’m unsure why the default temperature rises too much, since I usually aim for under 70 degrees. And why does it require only a 0.025 vcore increase to keep the system stable at 4.6? I always see +0.125 and go there, but I notice random temperature spikes during idle. Ty again!

The 120mm AIO isn't powerful enough for optimal temperatures. Switching to a cooler like the Cryorig A40 or A80 would provide better performance and allow for higher overclocks. These models often include a small extra fan for VRM cooling, which can improve stability during overclocking.
