CPU overheating

[Lawrence13]

Hello, I recently build a new PC with the following specs:

• Ryzen 7600X

• Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz 32 GB 2x16GB AMD Optimized

• DeepCool AK400

• RTX 4070

• MSI B650 GAMING PLUS

• Corsair HX750 (transplanted from previous pc)

The problem I am having is that the moment I stress the CPU with something like Cinebench, the temepratures of the CPU spike over 95 degrees and throttles and sometimes crashes.

I have checked and reinstalled the cooler more than twice checking that the thermal paste is correctly applied(see attached files) so I am at a loss here.

I have also tried touching the cooler while the CPU is that hot but is room temp and all the fans work properly.

Can someone help me locate the issue? Could it be the processor/motherboard, or the cooler is faulty?

Thanks in advance

The AK400 should be enough for the 7600X and seeing 95c during cinebench is completely normal with the Ryzen 7000 series.

They are actually designed to run at 95c 24/7, 95c IS the setpoint, it will boost to 95c before limiting clockspeeds or power.

 

Crashes however is not a good thing, but 95c is nothing dangerous when it comes to the AM5 7000 series of CPU's.

Does it make sense that it idles at around 60/70 degrees too? I was guessing the crashes might be due to overheating or not proper contact since the coller didnt really get any hot

you dont want the cooler to get hot, the colder it is the better itll conduct heat away from the cpu, generally coolers are so effective at what they do theyll be cool to the touch while cooling a 70C chip
