These temps cannot be good.
6 minutes ago, JoeIThink said:So, i have had my pc for about 5 years now. About a year and a half ago i upgraded some stuff including my cooling system, cpu and motherboard, went from 2 frontal fans to 3.
I now have 3 frontal fans and 1 on the back.
I have a MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio LHR and a AMD Ryzen 9 7900X.For my cooling i have a: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 A-RGB (I'm about 99% sure i can't find the box or receipt)
Now heres my concerns, while idle my temps are as followed:
GPU: 59°C Steadily Both Fans spinning at ~1400 RPMCPU: ~60°C Fan spinning at ~1400 RPM
By idle i mean im just browsing firefox and having discord and spotify open.
Now as soon as i go into a game, in this example Valorant, on not too high settings, even in the menu my temps are:
GPU: ~80°C Both fans spinning at 2050 RPM
CPU: ~75°C Fan spinning at 1800 RPM
Ive seen my CPU go up to 85-90 before in some cases.
Either my thermometers are all broken or there is something wrong with my cooling.
All looks good to me
The 3080's are known to run warm so 80c during gaming is not out of the ordinary.
CPU temps looks good as well for a 7900x.
Browsing firefox, discord and spotify is not true idle so 60c on the 7900x is to be expected, even with a 420mm AIO.
Check through this thread about 2 hours ago.
I posted 2 videos you should watch a bit further down in the thread. They will explain your high 7900X CPU temps.
75c while gaming is excellent and 85-90c is also expected while gaming.
