Processing speeds are exceedingly high – Ryzen 9 5900x issue.
Hey there! I've been experiencing some temperature problems with my system over the past six months. It seems like the high readings are causing the fans to spin nonstop, regardless of the fan settings. Even when using different profiles, the temps keep climbing. I've noticed it's especially bothersome when I open apps like PRIME 95 or browse the web, which can push temperatures from 70-85 degrees. The only time the CPU stays cooler is during light tasks, like just booting up or logging in. I've attached some photos and a log file for reference. I also ran Cinebench Multicore and it kept the processor around 70-71°C, but the voltage stayed below 1.1V. It's strange how turning on the PC and logging in triggers such high temps, which then force the fans to work harder. The cooler I used is a Corsair H150I Elite Capellix model with three fans. My current specs are: Windows 11 fresh install, removed the cooling solution, applied new thermal paste – but it didn't make a difference. I'm curious if there might be an issue with the CPU or cooler itself. The build date was during the pandemic. Let me know what else you can share to help diagnose this!
You're looking to determine if the processor will experience thermal throttling with Prime95. These CPUs handle high temperatures, typically reaching mid-70s to 80s, but they don't seem overly concerned unless they're running at 40-50°C. Since you've already checked the paste, you want to know the fan speeds—are they at 50% during idle? Also, note that AIO pumps often fail around year three to five, though some models last longer. You're curious if you can hear the pump operating or feel it running.
