I've been using this for roughly 20 to 30 minutes and reached a temperature of 43°C. Is that typical, or could I be misreading the data?
It varies based on your processor model and the software you employ to monitor temps. Certain applications may struggle to interpret temperature sensor data from specific CPU designs. For Intel chips, consider Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or HWiNFO. With AMD Ryzen, Ryzen Master works well. If you have an AMD CPU before Ryzen, AMD Overdrive is recommended due to how FX and A Series APUs display temps. You can find more details in a Reddit discussion if you'd like.
The older Ryzen models struggle with Prime95 tasks similar to Intel or Zen 2 chips, especially under AIO conditions. Lower temperatures could still be feasible. Cinebench R15 and Realbench offer more engaging workloads for this generation.
