Yes, that’s correct. The temperature is 90°C.

Navigating through the demands of my workload, the core temperature sits near 89-91°C and clock speeds range from 3.9 to 4.1 GHz. That’s likely the CPU throttling. I’ll review my fan curve next, then see if pushing fans to maximum works—checking whether the system defaults to that speed or respects the PC’s own settings.
Bios settings show fans capped at maximum in the 70+ degree range. Adjusting to medium seems insufficient against core strain. "High speed" still feels like throttling under load. Consider switching to Ultra High Speed or removing the front cover—maybe airflow restriction remains an issue.
I hoped my old 280mm AIO with 2 Silent Wings 4 would suffice. I think upgrading might not be necessary since the AIO only fails under full core load, which I seldom encounter. Just using UE as a hobby, the CPU stays below 60°C for most threads. If I did upgrade, I’d wonder which tower cooler would fit and handle the 5800X3D.
I'm a bit stiff with my coffee. Are you using CO? If not, you should be.
CO refers to the company or organization in question. If you mean OC'ing, it means everything is covered. No undervolts involved—just straightforward.
You can't really change the chip itself, I was discussing a curve optimizer. Setting it to -30 across all cores should give you maximum boost and cooler temperatures.
Followed a user to push my CPU to its limits using prime95 and full core usage. I saw an average of around 83°C with maximum load, but only four threads reached about 87°C at full speed. In theory, everything matched my CPU's specs. It might have been the game workload that differed. I’ll keep testing, but this really shook my confidence in building PCs.
