Newly built pc having temperature issues

[Tad545]

Problem:

after building a new PC I have noticed some strange issues in the MSI center regarding my CPU temperature and overall performance issues with my machine as well, upon booting the computer my CPU temp spikes up to 80c+ then normalizes down to around 35 after not performing any tasks for a few minuets, when booting games my CPU temp also spikes up to 80c+ then goes down to around 55-60c while playing games, since building the PC a few days ago I put a 1660 super in it, then once my new graphics card arrived i swapped the 1660 for a 3060 from PNY that's when I started to notice more issues, such as hotter idling temperatures (around 40-55c) and more temperature spikes to 80 that are somewhat random, however swapping the graphics card back to the 1660 does not resolve any of these issues. I've also noticed intermittent issues such as screen tearing while playing games with or without v sync on, display flickering, display output cutting out for a few seconds at a time, games freezing, and more recently none of my games will actually load for me to be able to play them, as well as system crashes and blue screens.

Troubleshooting:

the troubleshooting I've tried so far is, reseating the heatsync and reapplying thermal paste onto the CPU, checking to make sure my fans and pump are working properly by observing the fans spin and grasping my AIO tubes to make sure they vibrate, uninstalling the old 1660 drivers and installing the new 3060 game ready drivers from NVIDIA, changing my CPU pump input from my PUMP1 header to CPU_FAN and back to PUMP1, moving my AIO fans to be plugged into a normal SYS_FAN header, flashing my bios to the newest version, and updating MSI chip-set drivers

Computer components:

CPU

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 3.8 Ghz 8 core

AIO

Cooler master master liquid ml240L RGB V2

Motherboard

MSI B550 PRO VDH-WIFI

Memory

G.skill ripjaws V32 2X16

SSD

samsung 970 evo plus 1TB

Graphics Card

PNY geforce rtx 3060

Case

Fractal Design pop mini ari micro ATX Mid Tower case

Power supply

Corsair CX750

Only things that I can think of at the moment are if my device needs to be erased/ if i need to use DDU to properly uninstall old drivers conflicting with my new GPU, or if my motherboard and or cooler is DOA I've also validated the CPU temp issues by using the MSI hardware monitoring system, as well as HWmonitor

All those temps sound like what I'd expect for a 5700X. It's a hot chip, it idles hot, and I'm guessing you've installed background programs which are likely to increase the idle temps and random spikes. As long as the chip seems to be hitting the boost frequencies you'd expect, I'd consider it fine.

Awesome, that definitely helps alleviate some concern, and i appreciate your response, do you have any suggestions for the game performance issues I mentioned?

Maybe some sort of driver issue? Try running DDU and reinstall the display driver.

oh yeah. that 5700x is definitely going to run hot under absolutely any conditions. AMD wants their chips to be as powerful as they can by running it at its complete max all the time. Here, ill completely relieve your worry.. had a friend of mine who had a i9 12600K, right? He was using a AIO (that failed a LONG time ago) his cpu was running at 92 degrees Celsius for YEARS with basically 9 cooling.. and actually, modern CPUs are actually perfectly fine at high temps most of the time  most can run at their peak temperature, even after the warranty period. So lets say your warranty is 3 years. you could basically let it run at max temp for 3 years straight with no problem (i dont recommend BTW) hopefully that gives you some confidence

 

If you are worried about the temp though, you could always down clock it, which i dont recommend but if it concerns you that much about it being destroyed, you could just down clock it

Seems normal, Ryzens 5000s have a tendency to idle around 40C, game at 70C and spike to 80C with "mid/hi range" cooling, you have a 240mm only AIO

What temps do you have in Cinebench ?
