Running becomes excessively warm.
Hello! Your 3700x is performing well under normal loads, but it struggles during intense tasks like browsing or gaming. In Cinebench r20 it reaches about 72°C, and Prime95 takes nearly 7 minutes before the CPU throttles to 90°C. You're using Noctua U12S and Fractal Design R6 fans with standard settings, which tend to ramp up around 70°C. I've already tried reapplying thermal paste, but it hasn't made a big difference.
This cooler performs as expected—it's similar to a standard model from the beginning. No concerns unless you're conducting continuous stress tests around the clock.
That's great news. I've updated the bios to the most recent release.
