5700X overheating

Certainly heat density. The CCD is only about 80mm² so quite dense.

As regards the 5600X, like the 3600 it is one CCD but only uses 6 out of the 8 cores. Ideally they would only use dies where 1 or 2 cores are defect, but since 7nm yields are meant to be so good (and 80mm² is pretty small), they will fuse-off perfectly good dies for these too.

Now, given the choice when fusing of 2 out of 8 cores we'd hope that they will fuse off the ones with the worse voltage profile, but again no guarantee. Still, even if a 5600X and a 5800X had cores which were all the same, having two less should mean they run a bit cooler - all else being equal.

As for the OP's temp: I don't think they are that bad. In terms of perf/watt the 5700X is actually pretty good. In terms of max core temp, not so much. However, these chips will throttle long before they do themselves any harm.

I stand corrected on the dual chiplet 5600x. Cheers for the "today I learned" :cry:
 
ok so. so far it seems normal i guess.
mine is sitting now idling at 38c
and when i do prime small ffts i hit a max of 74c but mostly hangs in the late 60s

do another prime see what happens

and how do you post screen shots?
 
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
