CPU temps running a bit too high?

[LogicsMKB]

Hi there! 

 

I recently did my first build and am very happy with it with no apparent problems at first, but after looking at some temps ive become a bit worried. 

Im using a 5600x with an NZXT Kraken Z73 in an 0-11 Dynamic, and my CPU temps seem very high compared to my liquid temps. Under heavy load (CB R20) the CPU gets as hot as 82C while the liquid is at 34-36C. my immediate thought was bad thermal connectivity but i wanted ask if there are any other immediate ideas as to what it could be since id like to avoid taking the system apart if possible. I used my own thermal compound and had never applied any prior so i might had done it wrong even though it seems quite simple. That said, ive also come by articles where it said hot CPU architecture could cause the same "problems" and would thereby not be a problem but rather normal. 

 

Also, the liquid is ALWAYS at 34-36C, so do with that info as you will. 

 

Thanks!

If you have PBO enabled this is pretty normal. 7nm is _very_ heat dense and even with good conductivity the thermal resistance of the silicon is signficant.

Did you take off the plastic film from the cooler block?
