Hey, so I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with an 240mm AIO this one “ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 240 SNOW CPU”

Now I’ve returned a block cooler because I was worried about the temps being too high. So I got this AIO and again the temps were high so I convinced myself I hadn’t seated it correctly. Taken it off and reseated but still runs hotter than I want or would have thought. Disclaimer I over think and this may be one of those times.

So on boot it can get as high as 85 but mainly between 70-80.

Then sat at idle it’ll be 30-40 then random spikes up to 80.

Opening Visual Studio Professional and ramps up again but settles around 50 when coding.

Minecraft on 12 chunks render with optifine, hits 85 on load the. Hangs around 60 whilst playing.

Same for Factorio. But not tested any other games.

Happy to make some recordings if that would help.

Thanks

    Have a check on what your motherboardois doing in the BIOS. Asus like to by default apply extra boost to give extra performance. I managed to get my 5700G with stock cooler to 4.4ghz all core with less than stock voltages, not sure on temps at the mo as I’m not at home and england is having a bit of a heat wave at the mo (tho I might have won the silicon lotto with my chip)

      Hey thanks. So I’m in the UK too so the ambient temp is higher than usual.

      I also have an ASUS Mobo. So I guess I’ll check the boost and try and turn it down or off.

      I’m not home now as it stressed me out so I’ll have a look when I get back and report back.
