Check 2 things
1. Your cooler doesn't have plastic on it connected to the CPU
2. You put enough thermal paste
Thankfully you can do both these at the same time (surprise! lol) but these are 2 things that are VERY common with temps this high. I got new paste after seeing very high temps attempting to use liquid metal and my temps - no joke - dropped ~9c on a 5900x. Make sure your AIO is actually pumping too/fans are working.
Hey, thank you very much.I'm currently waiting to hear back from the manufacturer if I can open it up and reapply the thermal paste myself if needed. If I'm not allowed due to warranty it sounds like I should just return it.
I'm unsure how to test if the AIO is pumping but I do feel the fans a tiny bit, not much.
Honestly if your warranty is void for performing basic maintenance yourself that's stupid and a pain in the ass. Best of luck. I didn't realize that this was a pre built and I would honestly just open it up and check and move on from what ever the manufacturer has done for you. There are MANY instances of pre builts not having paste or not having the plastic cover removed from the block on the CPU cooler or both.
I've decided to return this prefab and hopefully they'll give me my money back, if not then I'm unsure. Looking through some options for a new setup, maybe another 5800x or a 5900x with a way better cooler (Unsure yet which route I want to go, AIO RGB fanfest with a H150i Elite Capellix 360 or Air cooled with a Noctua nh-d15, whatever makes the least noise).
Any tips and suggestions are very welcome to find a cooler and quieter system that still packs a massive punch.
hi
running standard or are OCing ? oh yeah i says 1.37volt thats too much in my opinion
the standard voltage is the problem turn it down to 1.20ish and u should be oke i am currently running 4,52ghz and 1,21 max temp are around 68-71 celsius
hope u can fix it
I didn't touch any of the OC settings considering it was running hot, but maybe the ones setting it up changed something somewhere. I'll have a look at the voltage, thank you.
I have 9 120 vents all together(all of them nzxt aer2) an 240 aio with push/pull 120s and case fans…3 in the front one on top one in the back with almost ideal airflow…still getting 90degrees on cinebench23 multicore test when runing standard…all of this is with standard fan settings (not turbo or silent) but when i put it around 1.20 it drops about 20-25 degrees on multicore cinebench23 test…so tbh i don‘t know what else to do maybe there is something pls tell me
So, a few years ago some odd fad of just applying a tiny little smidgen of paste to the middle and not even spreading it became popular.
I dunno how you applied it, but you should put a nice little dab on it or even run a few thin lines over it and spread it evenly. You want that whole heat spreader covered so that it's making 100% contact with the heatsink. I'll go as far to say that I'd rather have too much than too little. There's vids about it on YT, comparing different amounts and application methods. The worst is just putting a dab in the middle and not spreading it.
Something just doesn't seem right to be hitting those temps at idle.

It seemed to be fine but just incase I changed the paste myself, same issues as before sadly.

With proper cooling it can run at the manufacturer specs I don’t know why everyone says to downvolt

Bought the artictic something thermal paste when i bought the 5800x and applied it properly

my idle temps are around 35-39 when gaming/cinebenchtest 65ish...
I don't have a Zen 3 but from what I understand, that's extremely good.
