I included a short clip showing cinebench usage. This was about 30 minutes after playing an hour of Apex at 144Hz and 4K resolution. Are these readings typical? The setup is a NZXT H9 Elite 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700K with 32GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX N7 Z790 motherboard, Kracken cooler, and Recording 360.

Technically yes, it’s getting quite warm. But unless you’re running similar tasks to Cinebench, the numbers don’t really matter—you’re just stressing the CPU in a situation you won’t encounter regularly. The main concern is the temperature during regular use. Since Cinebench mainly affects the CPU and not the GPU, the heat can vary more than usual operation. Ideally, a well-functioning PC should manage high loads without overheating, but that’s usually not something you need to worry about unless it’s a rare case.
