Did you adjust the Windows Power Options settings? I’ve observed high idle temperatures on my 5900x, and it’s not lowering its clock speed when I increase the power plan to high or balanced. Frequent boosts keep it above 3600MHz, but under power saving it drops to just 2200MHz—significantly cooler.
What’s going on... I can’t handle this situation. The water is flowing in my room, the fans are unusually quiet in power-saving mode... 2.2 GHz all cores, 37°C CPU. That suggests the system is in a low-power state, and I shouldn’t be concerned because true idle performance is around 37°C.
It’s clear you’re looking for a warmer space this winter. Upgrading the ambiance will definitely help.
It seems you're curious about the temperature in your area and how "winter" is defined there. You just checked your room's temperature, which is 23°C.
Room capacity is 19 units, but heating is only available for the PC. I thought the smiley face would clarify if this was a joke. I’m actually more comfortable in cooler rooms than most, and it helps. Still, the hardware is built to handle various ambient conditions, so yours is average. My main worry is the inconsistent idle temperatures—do these variations have a cause or is it just random?
