Hey, was testing my 5900X under an NH-D15, and with CB R23 or Aida64 I can't push it past 72C on the hardest tests, which is good.
But there is a game (Midnight Suns), which during saving, briefly (2 or 3 seconds) pushes it to 84. So I tested with prime95 AVX on a few cores (1-3) only and doing this pushes my CPU to 90, pegged. Doing AVX test on all cores moves it back down to 70.
Is this normal? Is my cooler badly installed?
TL;DR my question: can single core heavy AVX loads push the Tctl temp of a 5900X well beyond what a good cooler can handle?
