Warming up a bit is easy.
Warming up a bit is easy.
I recently set up my new system and started working on video projects again. I'm using a 5600X paired with an ID-Cooling SE-224-XT, running the Phanteks Eclipse P300A with three 140mm fans installed. It runs smoothly and rarely exceeds 70% during gameplay; however, I noticed that intensive tasks like exporting videos significantly increase its load. The 5600X consistently draws around 115W, which quickly raises the temperature to about 85°C. Should this be normal for the system? My SE-224-XT's fan is responding well, and I followed the standard installation procedure.
I adjusted my bios settings and turned off PBO. My highest temperature in Cinebench R20 fell from 85°C to 60°C, which cost about a 10% drop in score. It’s not too bad, but I’m thinking about using this as my own fix once I’ve got the cooler back in place.
