5800x temps lower since windown update or?

[BUDFORCE]

I mean the CPU is still relatively new, since Monday this week really. But usually temps are hitting about 75c max after some hours of games/whatever.

PC has been on for several hours now with HW monitor running, playing PUBG, temp maxed at 65c.

I didn't change anything, except my PC did a Windows update earlier, that possible?

Didnt notice anything to be honest. What power plan are you using? I am still on Ryzen Balanced

I don't even know how to check that lol.

Could be the thermal paste settling in/ curing after some heat cycles

Must be this. I have been running the PC since starting this thread earlier, running rocket league at 144fps all sorts, and temp max 67c, thats a good chunk lower than 75c.

EDIT: I mean I am not complaining, its obviously a good thing, just wierd how that seems to have sorted itself out lol.
