High CPU idle temperatures for AMD 3950X model
High CPU idle temperatures for AMD 3950X model
It seems the AIO hasn't absorbed heat fully yet, but it should still function properly.
Certainly. Also, you don't need to stress about the idle temperature. If it shows 60*C during idle, it usually means just one or two cores are running at that level—it's not the entire CPU. The sensors interpret it as if the whole processor had a sudden spike.
Using a standard AIO cinebench would only be suitable for checking peak temperatures. The device may need 20–30 minutes to fully reach saturation, during which it could gradually rise further. Your observation suggests the pump is likely okay and isn’t responsible for the 40℃ to 60℃ variation. Others are pointing out this could be typical behavior, as the operating system might be boosting one or two cores while background tasks run.
