Yes, it's normal.
Yes, it's normal.
During startup, the processor reaches 89°C at full load while running CAD and operating the 3D scanner with the Ryzen R3700X.
I mean the specific software tools used, such as AutoCAD and 3D Scanning applications like Geomagic Design X or Trimble Connect.
It seems these programs are quite complex, handling a lot of processing to turn real-world objects into 3D models. You're probably noticing high temperatures, which is normal since your CPU only generates about 65 watts. Unless you plan to overclock, upgrading the cooler shouldn't be necessary.
I understand your concern, but it's possible both applications were limiting the CPU usage.
It’s quite challenging to damage your system due to heat without pushing it beyond safe limits. This can happen occasionally, and we often hear about it. However, keep in mind that most users here are much more attentive to their equipment than the average person. The reason you asked this question shows you’re careful enough to avoid causing harm. Also, most hardware is built to shut down before overheating causes damage.
