R7 5800X3D operates at a standard single-core temperature during light activities like watching YouTube.
Hello everyone, Occasionally I experience a single unexpected temperature rise in one of the eight cores. For instance, while streaming YouTube or doing light work, I might see spikes like 61ºC, 67ºC, or 74ºC, followed by a quick return to around 32ºC or 24ºC. The average temperature for the core that gets the spike stays within normal ranges, and it varies from one instance to another. I own an Arctic Liquid Freezer 280 AIO. During gaming sessions, it never exceeds 58º or 60º and doesn’t spike at all, which suggests it handles real load as expected. I believe this is typical, especially since I’ve had similar issues with higher loads but less intense. I just want to feel confident. Thanks!
It's typical. Light tasks generally only use 1-2 cores, then it reaches the maximum boost clock and temperatures rise. No cause for concern.
Some 3D v-cache CPUs can exceed +80°C. If not, you likely aren’t receiving the full performance gains consistently. This is what I’ve observed with both the 5800X3D and any setup using the 7950X3D that includes CCD0.
You’d need to find alternative methods or workarounds since the platform didn’t originally support EXPO. This might involve using custom scripts, third-party tools, or modifying system settings to achieve the desired functionality.
Expo is merely another term for XMP. I believe it’s mainly focused on the AM5’s LGA connector and likely tied to the BIOS/AGESA. Given the variety of chiplets available, it probably avoids similar issues.
Full output without spikes, running at 63c 4450MHz. R23 at that frequency.
When monitoring temperatures using HWINFO or RYZEN MASTER, it clearly displays the main issue and the specific temperature reading it reached during that spike. I’ll make sure to stay calm!
Just after installing Windows, I changed the power plan to High Performance, similar to how I used to do it before. Could this be the reason, even though the temperatures aren’t extremely high?
