85c hot for a 5800x? details below.

Hi, my cpu has a single fan water cooler and I am wondering if I should just go to air since linus mentioned how crap water is, and showed proof. This watercooler is letting my 5800x get up to 85 to 86 Celsius during max loads. I have not over clocked but I do have XMP enabled. I have not been able to find documented proof of AMD 5000 series max temp. Where as intel I can find 10th gen and up can operate at 100c

A 129mm AIO is not suitable in any way shape or form for a 5800x. Those little 120mm AIO's aren't really any better than a single tower air cooler, and in some cases, worse. While 85C is "fine" its only really OK if you're clockspeed isn't suffering as a result. If you're maintaining 85c under a FULL load, not a gaming load, and reaching comfortable boost clocks, you're fine.

 

For a chip of that caliber, you want adequetly sized AIO or tower air cooler. Generally a 280/360 AIO or the current high end air coolers from Noctua, DeepCool and Scythe.

After 10 minutes of looping Cinebench R23 mulitcore, i settle into 83c, but i'm also maintaining 4.7GHz across all cores the whole time with an EK 360 AIO and some Curve Optimizer tweaks.

Up to 90-95c at load is typical and by design. 85c at load is fine.

I  would recommend an artic liquid Freezer 2 280mm, I use one on my 5800x after my corsair(h115 xt) unit failed and I have got to say I am really impressed, not something I would have considered but Steve from GN recommends and who am I to argue with tech Jesus,  highest I have seen with it is 76 with prime95 small fft max heat test,

I ended up buying a 360mm water cooler that dropped my temps to 72 celsius under cpuz stress test, games run at 58 - 62 celsius average temps. Lil cooler wasn't enough, thanks guys.
