Help me decide

Question:

Im planning to upgrade my CPU. Its been 3 years now but im bothered mostly by the temps.
 Idle is at 40 to 50c, during games ( i usually play apex, pubg, codw, cities skylines) it spikes up to 90 to 100c.

Im choosing bet 5800x and 5900x.

Would there be any benefit going for the higher one?

This is mu current build:
9700k 
Aorus z390 pro wifi
Triden z 4x8 at 3000mhz
Asus dual 3070
1 500 nvme, 1 500 ssd, 2 hdd (2/4tb)
Galahad 360 aio
Lian li 011 dynamic case
750w psu

Thanks

Not worth upgrading, especially with just 3070. Just fix your thermal issues.

 

No reason to be hitting 100c when gaming unless you installed your cooler wrong, the cooler is broken, or you have an improper OC. Especially with a 360.

I run the aio at the top as an intake, push/pull, with all bottm fan as intake, then side as exhaust, with a 80mm rear as exhaust also...

I wouldn't expect 90-100c on that cpu with that cooler even with that oc on a full stress test... Let alone just gaming.

 

Reassess why your temps are that high.

Sounds like everything's fighting against each other.

 

Try a one directional airflow pattern.

 

Also the push pull could be messing things up too.

 

Try it with just one and make sure you are actually facing fans correct direction and not doing opposing directions on the radiator.

 

Make sure your cooler is tight, and pump works.

 

Stock 9700k on a 360 hitting 100c in games doesn't make sense at all.
