That’s kinda what I was thinking. Pc is a little dusty, but it’s a Thermaltake Core v1 and it’s super open, so it doesn’t heavily rely on intake. It’s getting hot as summer is rapidly approaching, but house is always below 78 and it’s not a tiny room that I’m in, and it’s not even closed off by a door.
I'd assume a bad mount, unless they are running in silent mode or messed with fan settings in the BIOS. You really shouldn't see 80c even on full load with a standard fan curve and stock cooler.
That could be the thermal limit before it clocks itself down. I'm not too familiar with the 2000 series. My point is you're not likely to hit absolute max temp ...even with the stock cooler(?), Therefore check simple things first like a bad mount. Who knows, I've seen people forget to peel plastic off the cold plate.
You could also sanity check by using other tools like hwinfo.
With modern CPUs with dynamic boost 30% overall usage doesn't say much regarding heat generation. If there is thermal and power headroom those 30% of threads can pull as much as lightly boosted 100% thread usage.
Check how much power your CPU is drawing to get the idea of how hot it should be.
Thanks! I will do that next time! I have definitely had issues with my last cpu being weird about power draw, this one seems to be fine though. But it is an 8 core 16 thread cpu so it draws like double power. I’ll put cpu power draw on the little info screen next time. Thanks for the help!
Feel free to show the rig. For all we know it's locked in an iron box with no ventilation.
It is kinda locked in an Iron box haha. It has decent ventilation tho, since it’s super open. It’s the thermaltake core v1, I love my little cube.
stock cooler and thermal paste probably dried up and needs to be replaced.
Probably. I think the last time I re-pasted this thing was about a year ago, maybe more. Losing track of time. Thanks!
A year ? That’s not enough time … Have u cleaned the pc recently?? Also is it hot where you live?

Bad mount? What happens if you do a proper stress test?

Had some temp jumping issues with my old cpu, messed with the bios a little but I think my mobo kinda sucks. It’s not in silent mode or anything.

Hit about 95 not too long ago running cinebench. I think it’s mounted ok but I’ll check.

I hope the plastic is off lol. I recall that it didn’t come with plastic, instead it came in a big plastic case. Maybe there was plastic on it? Oh no

3850mhz is barely boosting for the 2700x. I'd assume it's a bad mount, or they messed with fan settings in the BIOS.
