Scores and temperature inquiries for the 5800x Cineback R23
Scores and temperature inquiries for the 5800x Cineback R23
Hi! I just started testing my 5800x with Cinebench R23 on multicore mode. I’m not sure how to interpret the results yet—what’s the score, boost clock, and temperatures? Also, I’m curious about the other temperature sensors like TMP16 and Package Node 0; why are they all around 90°C and is that normal? Thanks!
R23 score looks reasonable. Increased clock speeds are typical. 90°C is a bit too high for the load. Cinebench usually doesn’t reach such temperatures. Using tools like Prime95 or FurMark would likely cause throttling. Zen 3 tends to run warm, so a good cooler is essential. What hardware are you running? Also, what type of case do you have? Airflow inside the case also plays a significant role.
Hello, your H150i Elite Capellix 360m AIO pairs well with the 4000D Airflow case.
It seems something is off. Have you used thermal paste? Is the CPU block firmly in place, covering the IHS completely and snugly, without any movement? Were you adjusting the voltage or doing any overclocking?
I noticed something seems off. I removed the plastic layer for the pre-applied thermal paste, secured the block firmly (just enough), and changed the RAM speed to 3600MHz without overclocking or adjusting voltage. The only possible issue was a brief contact with the paste, leaving a faint fingerprint but no other changes.
This wouldn’t be enough to affect the thermal paste significantly, particularly at this level. What model are you using? Often they’re shipped with high voltages by default. The next possibility is that the paste dried out or was damaged when it left the package. That’s unusual but not impossible. You might want to reapply a fresh coat using something like Kryonaut paste and check if it improves things. Between the cooler and the case, your system is likely operating well above normal—around 20°C higher than ideal under load, possibly even more. I don’t see another clear cause except poor contact with the block or a faulty AIO.
My setup is the Asus ROG x570 E-Gaming. I noticed some minor scratches on the radiator fins during installation, but they were fixed and didn’t affect performance. The 5800x model is often praised for its high heat output, which might contribute to its reputation as one of the hottest in the 5000 series.
It performs well under heavy loads with eight cores packed closely together. It stays cooler than many high-end options like the 5900X or 5950X, which can handle nearly double the power. Those components tend to be the hottest due to their power demands. Your workload should work with cooling solutions that can manage extreme temperatures. Even for a 65W TDP device, you’ll need robust thermal management.
