Hey all,
Just a quick question as I'm somewhat suspicious despite reassurances from other AMD chip owners stating such chips are meant to inherently run hot. But before that, here is a quick rundown of my base hardware and spec just in case it may help provide the most accurate information:
Ryzen 9 9950x (Brand new, running at stock 200W with PBO disabled)
Asus rog crosshair x670e hero (Brand new)
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 (ARGB) (Three years old but ran perfectly fine with my 14900K intel chip days before changing over to my new AMD one, and since thoroughly cleaned out in preparation for this build from each fan to the radiator itself.)
Zotac RTX 4080 (New)
Now to the question at hand...After posting for the first time into the bios, the CPU displayed running at the low 40's but soon reported as running at an idle average temp between 50-63 degrees whilst in windows, then ramping up to as hot as 75-ish (with spikes into the low 80's every now and then, depending on the game) and then for anything such as 3D rendering that uses all 32 cores, ramping up to a near constant 88-93 degrees.
Is this normal behaviour for the 9950x?
Kindest regards
