Hello,
This is my actual system :
Mainboard: Asrock X570 Pro4
Processor : Amd Ryzen 9 5900X
Ram : Corsair 2x16GB DDR4-3200
Videocard : RTX 3090
Harddisk : 2TB Samsung SSD 860Evo,2TB Force NVMe MP600
Case : Fractal Design Define 7 Compact
Cooler Be quiet! Dark Rock pro 4.
Windows 10 pro 10.0.19042.
There are also other 5 fans inside the case (3 on the top of the case in order to drain better the hot air)
Until a couple of weeks ago on this system there was mounted an Amd Ryzen 7 5800X, I decided to change it due to the high temperature putting an Amd Ryzen 9 5900X instead…. I haven’t reinstalled windows after changing the processor, because I think that there was no need (I am not sure at 100% of course) …unfortunately what happens after changing the processor is to have higher temperatures than before. I play a lot with PBO and curve optimizer to better the situation, but the differences were very small. I have customized also all the fans that could be controlled by the bios to work at full load after reaching 70 degrees. Here below you can read all the made test.
The curve optimizer is set all to negative values in order to reduce the voltages as follows: the fourth and fifth processor set to -20, all the rest to -30. The other point that is a little bit strange to me, is that the curve optimizer is inside the PBO option, so if I disable the PBO, you cannot access to the curve optimizer but on the other side if the curve optimizer was enabled and set before, disabling the PBO will not disable the curve optimizer.
Config #1
XMP profile on, Pbo disabled, Curve optimized on, PPT 142, TDC 95, EDC 140
On idle between 44 C and 50 C
Cinebench R23 - 10 minutes test
Singlecore : 1619 points with a temperature between 71C and 73C
Multicore : 21655 points with a stable temperature of around 88C in the last minutes of the test
Cinebench R20 – standard test (it lasts a lot less, only to render one time the picture)
Singlecore : 627 points with a temperature of around 72C
Multicore : 8470 points with a temperature of 83 C
Horizon Zero Dawn set at 1080P@120hz hits 89C degree during the loading and in the start menu; during the integrated benchmark reaches an average of 154 fps with a stable temperature between 87-88C degree.
Config #2

Horizon Zero Dawn set at 1080P@120hz hits 85C degree during the loading and in the start menu; during the integrated benchmark reaches an average of 144 fps with a stable of 85 degree.
Config #3
XMP profile on, Pbo disabled, Curve optimized off, PPT 142, TDC 95, EDC 140
Cinebench R23 - 10 minutes test
Singlecore : 1562 points with a temperature between 76C and 78C with peaks of 80C degree
Multicore : 20181 points with a stable temperature between 88C and 90C with peaks of 91C degree.
Cinebench R20 – standard test (it lasts a lot less, only to render one time the picture)
Singlecore : 608 points with a temperature of around 78C
Multicore : 7923 points with a temperature of 85 C
Horizon Zero Dawn set at 1080P@120hz hits 89C degree during the loading and in the start menu with peaks of 91; during the integrated benchmark reaches an average of 152 fps with a stable of 89 degree.
I have also tested other games in the 3 configs like Mafia definitive edition, red dead redemption 2 and cyberpunk 2077 and the CPU reaches similar high temperatures. If I try to compress big files or to decompress them, the CPU instantly reaches 90 degree. It also happens during the install of compressed games.
Are there any problems with my CPU? The temperatures seem to be too high in my opinion and the CPU goes constantly in throttling. The cooling system I do not think it is bad and I do not know what to do to better the situation. Any suggestions or feedback?
