I've been living under a rock with my new AMD Ryzen 9 5800X3D because I don't know what the specs are for these new "10th gen" chips. Are these really safe to run all day long? I managed to gaming for a whole day and it didn't break anything, but when I mess around with voxels, temps on load hit around 68 degrees Celsius, sometimes peaking at 75 for a split second. Compared to my old 4th gen setup, this is pretty fine though, so I guess it's okay. Cinebench R20 shows about 85 scores while it runs, which seems normal since I'm not running it 24/7. This probably won't be a long-term CPU after all, so I don't want to strain the core with too much voltage. What about power inputs?

Rodrigodrt, nice overclock! What is your ambient temperature? (The normal room temp is about 72°F or 22°C.) The throttle temps are both 100 degrees Celsius on the 10700K and 4770K. Here is where Core temperatures should stay to avoid trouble: above 85 degrees, that's too hot, but below 80 degrees, it's perfect. This table shows the max voltage per core from 2006 for chips that small (14nm down to 65nm): Your current voltage at 1.325 is way safe and under the limit of 1.4 for those tiny cores!

Rodrigodrt , Nice overclock! What is your ambient temperature? (The International Standard for "normal" room temperature is 22°C or 72°F.) Throttle temperature for the 10700K and 4770K are both 100°C. Here's the nominal operating range for Core temperature: Core temperatures above 85 °C are not recommended . Core temperatures below 80 °C are ideal . Here's the Maximum Recommended Vcore per Microarchitecture from 14 to 65 nanometers since 2006: Your Core voltage at 1.325 is well within the maximum recommended value of 1.4 for 14 nanometer processors. However, without knowing your ambient temperature, 85°C for CineBench R20 is borderline. (When running CineBench R20, it's best if you click on File > Preferences > Minimum Test Duration, then set it for 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes.) But as you said, it's not like you'll be running CineBench R20 on a 24/7 basis. You should be fine. Enjoy! CT

Here is the CPU stats in plain English: All Core has a lot of cores with different speeds and power limits. The 10700K shows how much power you can use based on your processor's capabilities. Here are the top options from Silicon Lottery, but I don't think it matters if that matches your current settings or not.

Thanks, and it feels like a warm 38 degrees right now!

Excuse me? That's 99.5 Fahrenheit, not 100.4. Did you think I meant 28 degrees Celsius?

well, i went crazy checking outside, it hit a high of 38C, but it was actually 34C inside. I found an antique clock with a mercury thermometer that works very well.

It's about 93 degrees Fahrenheit outside and that is still way too hot for normal stuff. If you only ran one multicore test of CineBench R20 while the whole room was this very hot, your computer cores would still be getting super warm. So what kind of cooler are you using?
