5700X overheating

Hey All,

So I got a 5700x from OCUK the day after release and swapped out my 3600x, cooled by an EVGA CLC280. I tested the cooler on my 3600x and the temps were fine running prime95, sorry can't remember the exact temps, but they were well within tolerances. When I stuck the 5700x (at stock) in I cleaned off all the TIM with alcohol and reapplied new paste, stuck it all back together again and ran a prime 95 test and it jumped almost straight up to 90C :eek:. So I left it for a week or so with minimal usage and then when I next had a chance, removed the heatsink and checked if there was a full spread of paste, it didn't look too bad, but I stuck a bit more on just to be safe. Tested again and it jumped straight back up to 90C. Has anyone else had an issue with this CPU or am I doing something wrong??

Cheers,

Locrieth
 
I means it's not the end of the world, I use it mainly for gaming so I'm unlikely to ever hit the same workload as prime 95, but I was hoping the 65W TDP would be more like when people say they run their 5800x in eco mode to cool them a bit. I was surprised how quickly it jumped to 90+ C in a matter of seconds. It was mainly to see if this was expected behaviour or if I had an issue with my specific CPU...

What sort of temps are you getting when you run it through Cinebench or CPU-Z stress test?

I will give it a test as soon as I get home, I only ran prime 95 on smallest FFTs for a few mins and saw the temps and stopped it. Was that the best test in prime95 to use or should I have used small FFTs?

I just ran my 5800X on Smallest FFTs and it also shot straight to 90c.

It doesn't do that in anything else, so if your temps don't do that in CPU-Z stress or Cinebench i wouldn't worry about it. Test that when you get home :)

Right OK, thanks for testing yours. I'll give it a test in Cinebench and CPU-Z when I get home, and post my results back. For settings for Prime 95, I was just having a read and am I supposed to be using small not smallest FFTs?

hi locrieth i just got my 5700x yesterday also i had a 5600x but wanted 8 cores
my idle temp is currently 38c
and if i run prime 95 the highest i see it going is around 70-75c
so in my opinion i think there is definatly something wrong here bud.
maybe apply thermal paste again or maybe bad air flo?
just guessing. any questions feel free to ask.

Hey, cheers for the response. Which test did you do in Prime? was it the smallest FFTs? Ok hadn't refreshed the page and seen response. Hmm now I'm more concerned again...
 
I'm using the EVGA 280 and it litterally shoots up to 90+ C in about 10-15 seconds in Prime 95 Smallest FFTs, I'll probably be home in about an hour so i'll test Cinebench and CPU-z and post back results plus PBO setting in BIOS
 
that was using smallest FFTs

to upload pics i stuck them on Imgr and then grabbed the bbcode link and clicked the little icon on the right of the new poting bit that says "Use bbcode editor" and just pasted the link in there
 
I mean having it set to "Enabled" instead of "Auto". So I've set it to "Auto" now and not jumped up hardly at all been running for 2 mins and it's maxing at 56.5C ....
