Temperatures of the CPU
Temperatures of the CPU
Initially, please accept my imperfect English. To begin with: CPU Ryzen 7 7800X3D; GPU 24GB XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX Speedster MERC 310 Black Edition Aktiv PCIe 4.0 x16 (Retail); Mainboard Gigabyte X670 AORUS ELITE AX AMD X670 So.AM5 Dual Channel DDR ATX Retail; 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V7S2T0BW); 850 Watt quiet! Pure Power 12 M Modular 80+ Gold; 32GB (2x 16GB) G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO EXPO RGB schwarz DDR5-6000 DIMM CL30-38-38-96 Dual Kit; Fractal Design North Charcoal Black; bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 - new thermal paste; 2 x Aspect 140 mm PWM; 3 x Silent Wings 3 (bequiet!); yesterday I assembled my PC and everything proceeded smoothly, updated the BIOS first with a USB and the motherboard’s Q-Flash feature. Once everything was running, I noticed my CPU temperature during idle was relatively high. After configuring the CPU drivers, I ran Cinebench r23 and recorded temperatures near 89.4°C at the peak. After completion, I achieved about 16600 points combined with the average temperature. I experimented by changing the thermal paste, reinstalling components, but no improvement was seen compared to other users of the 7800X3D. The main issue seems to be that my idle temps hover around 50°C (just playing Discord and checking system info). During gaming, temperatures stay between 50-70°C without any performance drops. Another concern is that setting fan speeds to maximum usually doesn’t affect cooling much, which feels odd. Could anyone help identify the problem or suggest solutions? Thanks!
Your idle readings are perfectly normal for this CPU. Both my 7700x and mine at 50-60°C also reach 70-75°C during games. You should ignore all the usual CPU temperature advice when it comes to the 7000 series—they’re built to stop before reaching 95°C, even under load. They function in a way that’s completely different from other architectures on the market. There are two videos that clarify this; nothing is wrong with your temps. I’ve attached a photo showing my idle temps with a 7700x and an NH-D15. I don’t worry at all—it’s completely fine.
No Problem! I would suggest watching through Jayz video and and the first 3-4 minutes of the GamersNexus video on my timestamp. They explain everything very well. You aint' the first to have this concern, I help 2-3 people a week regarding this. And again, absolutely nothing wrong here Its designed to be warm, its weird but hey, I'm not the engineer that worked on it.^^
