Have you made a mistake?
You just completed a stress test on your new PC and noticed some unusual behavior during the process. It seems the CPU power fluctuated drastically, causing system freezes and temperature spikes. The issue might be related to thermal management or power delivery under load. Since you have an AIO cooler and a 1000W PSU, the hardware setup appears solid. Consider checking the BIOS settings for any recent changes, ensuring your temperatures stay within safe ranges, and verifying that your cooling system is functioning correctly. If the problem persists, capturing before-and-after photos could help identify if the issue was temporary or permanent.
Working at a steady 80°C throughout the test period. A fresh display would lower to 73°C before rising back up to 80°C. With PBO turned on, the CPU temperature was capped at 80°C, which matches what it was. Is that correct? I’m still getting familiar with all this.
It doesn’t look like thermal throttling; perhaps a driver reinstall would help. No idea—let’s see who’s more experienced with PC stuff than me, @191x7.
