CPU overheating during startup phase
CPU overheating during startup phase
I recently installed a new PC and everything appears to be working well, but whenever I power it up from sleep mode, the fans increase to maximum speed for about a minute before returning to normal levels. I found this unusual but didn’t pay much attention at first. Later, I decided to look deeper and opened Hardware Monitor PRO right after the PC woke up. The CPU temperature display showed a reading close to 100 degrees, which was quite concerning. I wondered if this was normal or if there was a serious issue with my system. Since I just built it, I’m really worried about potentially damaging the CPU by letting it reach such high temperatures.
We're talking about a modern CPU and its cooling system. Essentially, you can't harm a contemporary CPU because it has built-in safeguards in place before any damage could occur.
The main idea is to test with a demanding CPU task and compare temperatures. It seems the system is restarting intensely, which may be why cooling isn't enough.
Your CPU runs well under load and stays cool, so no heavy workloads are needed. For gaming, consider titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring for balanced performance.
You ran Cinebench R23 Multicore and achieved a score of 13258. The temperature profiles show performance well below 100 degrees.
