I would try and re apply the CPU cooler or just make sure its tightened down enough as if its not making good contact it could be causing the issue

My idle temps are 46 - 50C at the moment which I believe are normal. I was playing Clair Obscura yesterday and highest temp on hwinfo was 97C. Just ran cinebench 24 and highest temp was 87C with average 78C. Are these temps about right?
I'm using an Arctic Cooler Freezer II 280 but was looking on their website and found that some of these sold between 2021 - 2022 had potentially faulty gaskets. I put my details in and mine is in the batch of faulty ones so they're going to send me a replacent gasket kit, been using it for 4 years and never heard about this. Will update once I've done the repair and see if temps go down
Have you done anything in the bios at all?My idle temps are 46 - 50C at the moment which I believe are normal. I was playing Clair Obscura yesterday and highest temp on hwinfo was 97C. Just ran cinebench 24 and highest temp was 87C with average 78C. Are these temps about right?

Just PBO on auto and Expo on I think. I have been reading about undervolting that drops temps with not much change to performance so may try that.Have you done anything in the bios at all?
ill run cinebench 24 in a bit and report back with the temps as the last time I ran this I never bothered checking
I did a +200 on the core and -25 following some random guide on YT lolJust PBO on auto and Expo on I think. I have been reading about undervolting that drops temps with not much change to performance so may try that.
Just the CPU Die (average) reading, probably wrong one to check!I did a +200 on the core and -25 following some random guide on YT lol
What are you looking at in HWInfo when running Cinebench 24?
What section is that under?Just the CPU Die (average) reading, probably wrong one to check!
I just load the sensors part and it's under there.What section is that under?
I am currently looking at AMD Ryen 7 9800X3D > Temperatures
Under here I have the following
Package
CCD #0
Cores (Max)
L3 Cache
CPU IOD Hotspot
CPU_VDDCR_VVD VRAM
CPU_VDDCR_SOC VRAM
CPU VDD_MSC VRM
I had a temp of 95.1C for Max and 51.9C min But I did have a few other bits running in the background when I ran mine. This was looking at the "Package" Row in the above section.
I also, could be looking in the wrong location for the correct temp as I never normally bother monitoring it lol
If you don't use it, yes. Otherwise it will steal some system memory and it will slightly reduce possible memory overclocks and cost a very small amount of performance.Is it worth disabling the iGPU in BIOS?
Yep, I did this and it knocked off 5+c and reduced power usage, with 0 performance impact.For you folks concerned about temps, there some cookie cutter settings you can apply in bios for curve optimiser that work for basically all CPUs which will substantially reduce temps. Folks more familiar with AMD than myself can fill in the details but I have like -30 set and it's very stable. I have a 360 AIO and temps don't really go above 60c in games.
Which 360 AIO do you have?

Did the same, no regrets. I'm still CPU bound in plenty of games when aiming for 240fps and using DLSS.upgraded my 7800x3d to a 9800x3d
bit snappier never hurts
