Ryzen 3 3300X under intense heat in a fresh setup
Sure, the time was just under three minutes in OCCT. I kept it brief because I wasn’t keen on making it longer.
Environment conditions and air movement often raise temperatures beyond typical levels, particularly during a synthetic stress test. I recommend repositioning the stock cooler, verifying proper installation, and confirming the thermal paste is applied correctly. Even after re-seating, persistent higher than normal temperatures suggest further adjustments may be needed. Once the cooler is properly aligned, maintaining temperatures under 90°C during gameplay should allow continued use until improved cooling solutions are in place. The built-in cooler should handle CPU cooling adequately, but synthetic workloads impose significantly more stress than gaming sessions.
Hello, your OCCT test results show the CPU runs slightly cooler than the SEnery benchmark. I’m not sure if this is typical, but it might be worth checking if a better cooler would help. My idle temperatures range from 30 to 60 degrees just when I move the mouse. The PC is placed in a well-ventilated area with four 120mm Corsair fans inside the case. I believe the airflow should be sufficient because cables are properly managed. Regards.
