I enabled pbo a while ago, and decided to test it now (3900x). Before I'd get around 65-70c max load. Now I get 90c and 75c with prime95. My cpu seems to pull 175w for about 5 minutes each time, cooking at 90c. Then it falls to around 115-125w where it sits at 75c. It never thermal throttles
I have a 280mm aio (kraken x63) top mounted in a meshify 2 with 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan (besides the aio). Is this bad cooling/mounting pressure/paste? I did mount it not that long ago, but I think I gave it a decent amount of paste. Or is it just simply 175w being a fuckton of heat?
