It's processing world community data at 4600-4650MHz with an 80c load. The temperature reading of 62 seems high for a game setup. I also recall a large tower cooler that handles the 5900X, though it's bulky but would work fine. I might consider installing it today.
The choice was based on a very low cooling capacity. The decision was driven by specific needs or constraints.
OP, are you experiencing temperature changes while using Steam or Origin? Yes, that’s completely typical. I’ve noticed similar issues when downloading with Steam, and temperatures increase slightly, though not significantly. My friends suggested it might be related to how Steam handles compressed files. I strongly advise letting Steam handle the download without any interruptions—just close other programs on your PC. If you're using a hard drive, it can slow things down considerably during downloads if anything else runs. Personally, when I used an M.2 drive, I only saw minor delays (about a second) and it returned to normal afterward. It’s not as problematic as with a HDD, but it’s still noticeable if you try to multitask while downloading.
If this were Steam, it would be fairly typical. I notice around 20-40% consistent usage when downloading from Steam on my 5800x. Temperatures aren't that high because I have a 360 AIO, yet Steam still demands a solid performance during file unpacking.
I know what you mean, just most idle at the moment. Steam might be using a lot of resources, but just downloading and saving files isn't that demanding. If it's 62°C, you'll easily handle 80°C+ in-game. Plus, it's a 120mm radiator, so high temps are expected. A 5900X will definitely push things higher, and the heat won't stop increasing under continuous load.
73c during Cinebench? We're not getting the full picture here and he isn't aware of the term "ambient temperature". I don't know how much more can be done here.
