So, just moved from a 1600 to a 3600x and gone from seeing max temps circa 65ish for the 1600 in Prime95, am seeing it quickly reach 75c with just the Prime95 small fft test running, and top out at 82c with both the FFT test running and Heaven looping on Extreme pre-set.
Running a custom loop with 360 and 240 rads, DDC pump that came with the EK distro plate, and with a Radeon Vii in the loop as well. The temps on the Vii haven't changed from before and using the same Bykski block as was used on the 1600.
Question is: is this normal? Did search on here but can't find any threads other than a high idle temp one.
Google brings up many other threads about it being somewhat normal for the 3000 series due to intensity of heat on the smaller 7nm process but just want to get some opinions of people i trust on here.
During gaming it barely hit 70c so I appreciate the circumstances of it going so high are somewhat artificial but just thought it odd given what it's quite high. AMD website lists 95c as max temp for the 3600x so well within that.
