12100f Overheats

Running a 10 minute Multi-Core test yields a Maximum temperature of 93°C

I am using a stock cooler with two intake fans and an exhaust fan to the left of the processor.

The person who sold me the processor tested it in their own workbench with my processor and stock cooler in it (as well as the same fan configuration with the same fan brand and similar case) and he got a peak of 82°C.

stock cooler moment

What does it get in the kind of thing you actually use it for, like games?

Tried using RPCS3, It's a PS3 emulator, and I got the same ~90°C

Will update you on some of the other games I play

Dunno why it heats more in your place than elsewhere, but anyway there's nothing to worry about, especially with a crap cooler...

What are gaming temps ?

I think your cooler is not installed properly, or the fan curve in the BIOS is way too optimistic. True..., it is not very good, but it isn't THAT bad that it hits 90 c gaming, unless maybe you live somewhere very hot without air conditioning.

93°C is under the TJmax of 100°C, so assuming it's mounted correctly, it just means that the CPU cooler fan isn't making more noise than needed by spinning unnecessarily fast.

that explains pretty much everything, stock isn't really poweful and all core pulls electricity through all cores so basically as much of Wattage as the CPU can get..

 

 

which can be over the max advertised turbo power, but is below it when gaming.

I attempted to play a bunch of games which are CPU heavy for 10 minutes and all maxed at 64-66C

The games were:

- Minecraft with Complementary shaders

- FNAF Security breach

- And then a few Emulators

 

Do let me know if I need to test a game for longer than 10 minutes

 

 

Also, I have checked and the processor is properly mounted.

I will check the fan curves in a bit

Room temp is 60-75°F

Cool, that sounds much more normal.

Is there a problem here? All these temps are within spec and pretty much expected with the stock cooler. I don't see a need to change anything.

I believe these temps are just fine.

However as I previously mentioned, an emulator that I'd like to run pushes my CPU to about as hot as Cinebench.

Would setting the CPU usage to 99% instead of 100%, help?

Those temps in cinebench/emulator are fine too. Is there a problem? I don't think any changes need to be made here.

Wait, what do you mean those Cinebench/emulator temperatures are fine? I got 90C+ on cinebench and that emulator...

100c is max for the chip, so those temps in the 90s are fine, and won't cause issues. The chip will throttle before damange can be done.

Very well, thank you for your help.

Just in case I might lower to 99% CPU usage in the emulator and see if there is any significant performance and temperature drop.

 

Thank you again!

Cinebench is usually one of the most demanding benchmarks to run for your CPU and it can push CPUs even with water cooling, so your stock cooler is going to be HOT.

 

I don't know why your emulator is so hot when other games are normal temps in the 60-70 range.

It's likely on the more demanding side of things.

Setting my cpu at 99% for that specific emulator fixed the overheating problem
