PC Processors

I've just completed a self-build and I'm wondering if I should be concerned about the fact that the CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Zen 4) reaches up to 96 degrees during the photo export process of Lightroom Classic?

Idle temperatures are fine - around 40-50 degrees.

The export process is usually pretty rapid - it only lasts a couple of minutes at most but there may be occasions when I need to export larger numbers, which will mean it will last up to around 7-8 minutes.

It's got the stock heatsink on it, plus an additional 80mm fan in the case, which is pretty spacious. I'm reluctant to put any more fans in as I'm not convinced it will help with this one process but I'm happy to be corrected.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Zen 4 CPU frequently reaches high temperatures, up to 96 degrees, during Lightroom Classic photo exports, though idle temperatures are normal at 40-50 degrees. Potential causes and solutions include inadequate stock heatsink, addressed by upgrading to a more efficient one and applying quality thermal paste. Improving case airflow with additional fans is also recommended. Software-related overheating might be mitigated by adjusting Lightroom Classic's process priority in Task Manager, closing background programs, or utilizing GPU hardware acceleration. Hardware issues could involve a faulty CPU, and diagnostics include stress testing, checking thermal throttling settings in the BIOS, and considering an upgrade to a CPU with better cooling and more cores.
