Issues with temperature readings. Assistance needed!
Here begins my setup: a 5800x CPU, EVGA 3080 graphics card, a Lian Li O-11 cooler, and a Lian Li 360 AIO case. The system was fully assembled at the start of last year, with temperatures kept close to optimal during intensive tasks. Recently, while playing Hunt: Showdown, I noticed my PC running hotter than expected. Upon checking Ryzen Master, the CPU temperature jumped to 95°C. I immediately shut it down, checked the settings, and found everything default. I adjusted fan curves and pump curves for more aggressive cooling, reapplied thermal paste, and rechecked everything. After undervolting to 1.2V with a target speed of 4.0, the temperature still reached around 85°C. Now I’m wondering what else I might be overlooking.
According to the documentation, everything is functioning properly, though the BIOS remains stuck at 40°C.
I'd like to show a screenshot of Ryzen Master in Advanced Mode while the system is idle. A CMOS reset wouldn't hurt much. It seems the AIO might be blocked, and you can definitely notice a temperature variation between the tubes. This approach isn't very informative, but it's something to try. Better to re-seat it with fresh paste just to be sure.
Based on the research, high CPU usage in Cryengine games is typical, and Hunt is recognized for demanding significant processing power. The temperatures reported suggest AVX instructions are likely involved. ^^^ Your pump should operate at full capacity during those conditions. Most AIOs include tools to monitor fan speeds, pump performance, and coolant temperatures under stress. AMD states the 5800X can safely reach up to 90°C, so regularly hitting 95°C isn't expected to damage it, though it may shorten its lifespan.
I already removed the CMOS before adjusting the voltage, but it didn’t work. That’s why I resorted to voltage reduction.
If your board resembles many Intel designs, it might automatically disable certain restrictions to boost performance. According to AMD’s statements, these processors can reach up to 90°C during operation, which enables longer boost periods. Exceeding this limit isn’t meant to happen; likely the problem lies with your AIO setup. It could be due to poor mounting (not effectively drawing heat from the CPU) or a faulty cooler (radiator not functioning properly). Pump-related issues are common causes of failure—usually pump speed readings under load help diagnose. You can test it by using a standard screwdriver, positioning the tip against the CPU and turning the handle near your ear. This mimics bone conduction headphones, letting you sense vibrations from the pump. If this doesn’t work, the pump is likely dead. EDIT: That sounds like a clog or pump malfunction; coolant temperature should remain consistent around the entire system if it’s flowing correctly.
There seems to be an issue, would you like to check if your pump is operating at its highest capacity? I use an EK 360 and it runs at full speed (2600RPM) constantly. You also have a custom profile in Ryzen Master—consider resetting everything back to defaults using the reset button on the bottom left. For idle settings, try setting -18 for all core undervolt using the curve optimizer.
