Hello guys,
My 5800x is reaching up to 90°C while gaming with custom water cooling. Even with undervolting (Curve Optimizer) the temperatures are 85+°C. I also reapplied a better thermal paste (Thermal Grizzly) and tightened the cooler but nothing changed. The GPU shows perfect temperatures so the flow rate should be also fine. This is my setup:
Asus ROG Strix X570‑I Gaming (latest BIOS)
Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Crucial Ballistix 64GB DDR4 RAM 3600Mhz
1TB Corsair mp510 1tb NVMe Gen3
1TB WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe Gen4
EK-Quantum Vector RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi Waterblock + Backplate
Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge - Plexi Chrome Digital RGB
Alphacool Eisstation 40 DC-LT
Alphacool DC-LT 2600 Ultra Low-Noise Pump
Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 240mm Radiator V.2
Do you think it makes sense to send in the processor and have it replaced? I know that the 5800x can handle up to 90°C but for a lot of users, the processor runs significantly cooler with worse cooling. Furthermore, the fans are too noisy (I'm using Noctua fans) while gaming because of the high temperatures. Thanks for your help!
