5800X3D opinions needed on temps

alvez · April 27, 2023

Hello everyone,

Basically I have just upgraded to a R7 5800X3D.

Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer 280mm
Board: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

Been having some temperature spikes when I put the system underload, for example (see link to image below where I start the game let it run for some seconds) starting a game like CSGO where it will spike from 34°C to 65°C/70°C momentarily and then proceed to average 50°/60° while playing that game for a long period.

After some opinions the majority of people said this is normal behaviour and even a good thing due to the CPU clocking/boosting as it should proving that it's working as intended to start a task.

A low percentage of people have stated they didn't have this behaviour by any means and think it's poor cooling.

If I leave it alone and don't touch it, it averages really low temps as you can see on the second link.

So, can I rest my head and stop thinking this isn't normal and leave it be? Or should I worry and do something?

Please help..

Absolutely normal. Temp limit is 90c and you are well below that! CPU's will spike from time to time, and when opening a program it has to load everything super fast and it requires a little bit of extra grunt. Now stop worrying and start playing them video games
