AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3D Cache Eight Core 4.5GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail - Go Go Go xD

My 5800X will hit 90c in Handbrake and Cinebench. Doesn't matter how many times I mount the cooler. I've tried multiple coolers, even.Ok maybe not a problem, but I'd be more comfortable if my temp was in the 80s, no matter what the load was. However, I worry too much, and I'm not likely to be calculating prime numbers
You can set a target temperature in the BIOS. I set mine to 85c. I don't care if AMD say that 90c is normal, I don't want it to hit 90c. It'll then take care of itself to never go above that. Won't affect gaming/single core performance, but will lower multithreaded performance by a tiny percentage.
Do you know if this can be done for the 5800x3d also ?
I don't know I'm afraid. You'd have to go into the BIOS and look.
Correct, you are getting OCD about something you cannot control with even the strong cooling you have; thse are how the CPU's are designed to operate.Ok maybe not a problem, but I'd be more comfortable if my temp was in the 80s, no matter what the load was.

That's cool as long as you know that it is completely irrational.
Not for you to worry about. You do you, I’ll do me
You post on public forum, me reply with opinion.

Mine will hit 82c gaming in the heat we've been having. I have no idea what Prime95 would do and I can't imagine a reason why I'd care.
What in the actual BLEEEEEEP - with 5800X3D you are using 100w less compared to 12900K even in gaming?! This like an extra $40 a year easily. Holy schnaps! I thought the power discrepancy was limited to rendering and the like. I can't believe this! 
I was waiting to see Zen 4 3D anyway, but since we know Raptor Lake is going to push power consumption even higher (with low efficiency gains) this now just becomes a no brainer.

Did you check the memory it's using?What in the actual BLEEEEEEP - with 5800X3D you are using 100w less compared to 12900K even in gaming?! This like an extra $40 a year easily. Holy schnaps! I thought the power discrepancy was limited to rendering and the like. I can't believe this!

Oh nvm ,you are talking about the ks
I think that's where AMD's real advantage lies. Efficient and fast out of the box, no messing around or special knowledge required. May not be what the hardcore enthusiasts want but for 99%+ of other customers it's exactly what they need.What in the actual BLEEEEEEP - with 5800X3D you are using 100w less compared to 12900K even in gaming?!

Just tested it, I call this BS. Sure i don't have the ks but the k, but during cp2077 @ 1440p DLSS Q fully CPU bound (gpu was never hitting 99%) peak wattage was 101w, usually it sat below 95. I don't think the KS is that much higher than the k so yeah...no buenoWhat in the actual BLEEEEEEP - with 5800X3D you are using 100w less compared to 12900K even in gaming?!

This is 720p. Ideally you should test also with dlss ultra performance (but they didn't since it's RX 6900XT) & make sure crowd density is on high. Also scene matters a lot, I recommend Corpo Plaza (between 9am to 8pm) where the giant Koi hologram is.
You can see how stressful it is for CPU:

Resolution doesn't matter, im completely cpu bound. But ill do what you suggested, doubt there is going to be any difference.This is 720p.

Just tested, not much difference, im still at 92w - 55% cpu usage - 85-90 fps. That's heavily moded game for incresed draw distance / population / car and lod. Without the mods it should be hitting 110-120.This is 720p. Ideally you should test also with dlss ultra performance (but they didn't since it's RX 6900XT) & make sure crowd density is on high.

Not sure in that case, but interesting if you're getting that fps in that region, I guess there's even more improvement on the cpu side that's needed for us to get to the magic 120 fps threshold. No reviewers really use this stress-test but for me it's the benchmark to hit.
