Thermal problems during my initial project.
Thermal problems during my initial project.
I've recently built my first pc and am occasionally having some unusual thermals . I am unsure if this is normal so first my build: Asus b550, ryzen 7 5700x, radeon 6750xt 3xfan, 750W 80+ gold PSU, samsung 990 pro SSD, 1 TB hdd, 3 128mm front fans, 1 128mm back fan, some small tower-style cpu cooler, some sort of antec case that doesn't have good front airflow. The weird thermals i've run into include: GPU hotspot reaching about 95C max under extreme load (the average is about 88C), i don't know if this is okay for the hotspot, the average GPU temp is super low like 60C. My CPU would run at about 80C when gaming but it does sometimes spikes to like 90C, and this is without PBO. All of these temps i've evaluated using Hwinfo. My main question is what's going on with the GPU hotspot? My old builds hotspot was never above 85C. Also removing the front panel to increase airflow didn't really change the hotspot temp, but it did lower the cpu temps by about 5C. Is the CPU temps randomly spiking normal during gameplay? Should i reapply thermal paste? Is this possibly a software error (i have newest bios and drivers and everything)? Sorry if i seem really confused, i have never used a AMD gpu nor cpu so i'm unaware if this is okay for AMD specifically.
I'm using the PC edition of The Last of Us and have experienced peak temperatures reaching 89.5°C. My readings indicate temps should stay below 80°C. I own an air-cooled CPU and have purchased a liquid cooler, which should arrive next week. I plan to check the situation after installation.
