Hello

I have just replaced my 5800x with a 5950x and faces high temp issues. Note that I am running on air cooling (Noctua NH D115S) , waiting for my watercooling to arrive.

The MB is an Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero.

I am running Cinebench at 76°C and games at permanent 91°C!!!

Tried replacing thermal paste, no difference!

In addition to that, benchmark results look a little bit on a low side at stock (multi core 24894/single core 1589).

Do you think that can be a defective CPU???

Thanks

Hello there,

This seems to be an issue on ASUS motherboards from what I can tell, please see my post here: https://community.amd.com/t5/processors/ryzen-9-5950x-running-very-hot-74c/m-p/462307/highlight/true...
