5800X temps seem high

[Devrij]

So I swapped from a 2700X to a 5800X (great performance uplift, very happy), but man it runs hot. I have a 280mm AIO and it'll peak around 85C under sustained load. It idles at about 35C which is grand, but under even a small load (eg running a virus scan) it throws massive volts at the chip and temps will shoot up immediately to 75C. like 1.45V for these low load boosts. Sustained max load it'll be much less, but still.

Is this all normal or should I be reseating my cooler?

Thanks, not just me then! I think -ve offset is the way forwards. I'll check out curve optimiser

 

[Devrij]

yeah that makes sense. I just set curve optimiser to -10 and it still hit 90C in cinebench

Hmm, prime blend now more like 70C after 10 mins, and boosting to 4.6 on all cores. not too shabby.
