Hello!
 
I am having an issue with my i9 11900K.
Around 30% of CPU usage my temps are around 50c-70c but sometimes without high utilization my CPU jumps to 80C and sometimes 100C.
I only have Chrome, Discord, Microsoft Teams, DBever programs running, not a whole lot, no games.
 
I've cleaned my CPU cooler and case (Hyper 212 Black) and added a PULL fan, 2 fans now, push/pull on CPU cooler. My next step is to replace thermal paste.
Could my thermal paste be cooked? I know it was running at 100C for a good amount of time before I was able to shut it down and dig into it.
My case is under my desk but has space all around it, at least 1 foot of clear space all around it, it also has 4 case fans running.
 
Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated!

Find reviews of it. Gamers Nexus did a review of the Peerless Assassin pretty recently. 
 
The TL;DR is summed up in this graph:
Yes it is a lot better, especially when talking about a 400W CPU. Realistically a chip of that power draw needs water cooling to have a shot of keeping it from thermal throttling under full load. 

It's a lot better.
One of the reasons i went with a 5700X CPU was the low power consumption and heat and as a result i can use my ancient 212 EVO with that CPU.

The top card is an Elgato capture card.

I've been doing general IT work for over 10 years, 7 of which have been spent learning about how servers work, so I know generally how things work in a network. I'll be the first to admit that I have not configured AD services (because screw Microsoft) and have zero desire to actually learn how any kind of Cisco or Juniper Networks equipment works on a technical level. I leave that stuff for the network security experts to do; however, I try to make myself knowledgeable to at least understand what they're talking about so I can recommend the right equipment to small business clients.
 
That said, a Load Balancer's job is to ... um... balance the load. That means taking incoming traffic and splitting it among multiple network routes. Obviously, this requires a lot of bandwidth overhead on its' own, and you'd need to have multiple servers or Hypervisors/VMs running multiple instances of virtualized servers for this to work effectively, but Load Balancers can stop most DDoS attacks by analyzing traffic types. They can be configured to sort through good and bad traffic, routing good stuff to the appropriate server, and throwing away bad stuff.
 
After the Load Balancer, you'd want to have a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to further filter requests based on a variety of algorithms. This can be hardware or software based, and simply analyzes traffic in more detail than a Load Balancer would. Software WAF's are indeed more efficient, assuming you're running them on decent hardware that can handle hundreds of thousands of connections at once.

F5 Networks has a very good article on DDoS attacks, going over different types of attacks, and how one can mitigate them. Obviously, they're selling their F5 platform in the article, since that's what they offer as a company, but it's still great information.

I will give you credit here though @Mornincupofhate in that a home connection services by an ISP is only as strong as its' weakest link. This means that if AT&T has not implemented DDoS protection at every single point of connection between @Mitch619911 and AT&T's outbound connection to whichever backbone they're using in his area, then you're spot on that there's nothing a user can do to mitigate a DDoS attack on their end.
 
However, if we assume that an ISP takes ever measure possible to mitigate DDoS attacks, then either A) attacks would be stopped before they ever reach a residential user, or B) ISP's would have to allow a user to install a professional enterprise grade modem in place of the consumer grade Motorola / Arris / Thomson / Technicolor modems they would otherwise be using, since there's no way a consumer grade modem would be able to handle a mass TCP SYN packet flood.

Calm down, a lot of people on here don't have a clue and that's fine. It sucks when misinformation is spread like that but there are better ways to handle it. If the guy wants to argue about it then you're more then welcome to escalate your tone with him but just take a chill pill and enlighten these people in a more collected manner, it will leave a much better impression and they'd be more inclined to ask you questions and listen to you if you're not going off on them.
 
That being said, @Mornincupofhate is correct that hardware mitigation is useless without a big enough bandwidth pipe to handle the attack to begin with.

Thanks for the USEFUL info unlike some  +1

no that wouldn't help. your isp needs to block it and get the IP's on the SPAMHAUS list etc. so it gets blocked at nodes and never actually reaches your home. if you block it at your home your 1gbs will still completely fill up with traffic even if you nullrouted them.

I don't know what a "booter" or a "stressor" is in terms of Fiber or DDoS attacks, but as far as a home connection goes, it's up to your ISP to detect and mitigate any such attacks. This is because a DDoS attack, even on a residential Fiber line, would be damaging to more than just you. Eventually the attack would saturate the network node you're connected to, which would affect other paying customers on the same node, so yeah, your ISP should protect its' residential clients. Any ISP that doesn't protect its' own networks is an idiot. It's the equivalent of a prison locking up criminals, then proceeding to have absolutely zero monitoring or guards at the prison, allowing for easy escapes to happen.
 
Now, if you have a business or dedicated line just for you, that's a different story, and you'll want to pickup a few thousand dollars worth of load balancers and other content filtering hardware firewalls to protect yourself. Or, you know, route everything through a DDoS service like CloudFlare or CloudBric and completely hide your IP address.

Yeah dude cause that's totally not a lie and every member totally gets enough bandwidth to take down an entire datacenter.
 
Don't be retarded. If the stresser did hit that much, then it would be taken down by the FBI in less than a week. I can guarantee it doesn't hit more than 3 gigs on a reflection attack.

probably would be fine from script kiddos with 1g down 1g up, considering most ddoses don't reach 1Gbps
 

Because people will always think that if something is more expensive it is better
