System experiences heat issues following BIOS upgrade.
Pc specifications: CPU - Ryzen 5 9600X, Motherboard - Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WIFI6E, Cooler - Gigabyte Gaming 360 ICE, RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16x2 GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30, PSU - Aorus Elite 850W Platinum ICE, Storage - Kingston NVMe M.2 1TB, OS installed - Windows 11, drivers updated via Gigabyte Control Center, BIOS update completed successfully from version F1 to F4 without issues, login problem initially requiring password entry, overheating observed after boot even at idle with fans increasing immediately, restarted multiple times but issue persisted. Overall hardware appears functional despite the temperature concern.
These temperatures are high when idle, but only become a problem if you reach 95°C during active use. Passmark, Prime95, or Cinebench (multi-core) work well for stress testing the CPU. The best first step would likely be to play some games and check the heat levels then. Benchmarks represent the extreme case, so actual performance isn't as crucial. Can I ask about your case and the fans inside it?
Review additional configurations such as memory rate as well. BIOS upgrades frequently restore all settings back to defaults (or suggest doing so).
