CPU running hot

[natarle]

Hi,

 

My CPU is running hot, and I don't know why, I did change my Heatsink from a Noctua NH-L9a to a NH=L12s, but it's still running hot and I can see that the CPU is at 4GHz on Idle what should I bee looking for?

is that 78c at idle? also is speccy the only thing you are using to monitor temps? if so, try hwinfo instead as speccy is quite bad imo.

isn't 4 quite high for it, at base speed?

Also have you overclocked it or messed with the what is seen above?

But if stays in 78 degrees in workloads too, then its fine. also you can try to disable PBO if that is enabled (precision boost overdrive, 2nd one is better)

The only settings I changed in Bois was my RAM to run at 32, I didn't touch the CPU

I do know that it will drop to 2ghz sometimes but it looks to jump back up to 4 and stays there most of the time. The highest I seen is 4.3

I downloaded the HWinfo and this is what it's showing to me, I also have a recording showing that the CPU cores are jumping to 4ghz on idle

Well I seam to have stop my computer from overclocking all the time, I'm not sure what was causing it, but I put the maximum CPU power to 99% in the power management setting then it helped it a lot. so at Idle it's at 40-50 and 50-60 when playing a game, and the fan not running at full RPM. I don't know if this would work for others.

thats weird, could be some BIOS bug or issue, and if it got a dual BIOS or overclock mode included (like a button on the motherboard).

The MB is a Aorus x570 mini-itx pro wifi, I think that it may be a problem with the CPU that wants to boost all the time
