How to you test for a defective cpu?
Got one pretty cheap 250 quid for a "New never used" 5800x and am shocked at the temps. Only way I know to test stability is using prime 95 which I know is aggressive.
However...
Idles around 30-35c (same as 3600)
Doing practically ANYTHING in windows, even opening chrome or a vid the temps shoot to around 75c then normalise (3600 wouldn't go past 50c)
Games around 78c (3600 rarely got over 50)
Prime blend 94c max (3600 was 76)
Prime small fft, instantly goes to 92c (3600 was 82 after 3 mins)
I understand the 5800x has a 138w draw (instead of 92w on the 3600) but I thought they were supposed to be more efficient?
Anyone else here got a 5800x or even 5900x who thinks those temps are high?
Cooler is a pretty descent noctua nh-c14s, with dual arctic p-14s which are better than the noctua stock fans for sure.
