How to test new cpu, 5800x overheat

[slim01]

Mine games around 65c, under cinebench it maxes at 77c, 5800x is known to be the hottest of the 5000 series due to the design of the CPU.
It will quite often boost upto 4.8ghz at 1.43 volts.

I just dont worry about it and enjoy my computer.

This is what I will do. Just enjoy.

I've got it in eco mode for now. Think it limits total power to about 95w the same as my 3600. Everything I run is still at max fps (4k @ 60fps) and I've read people say you loose around 10% performance, but if/when I get fps dips I'll just turn the power back on babay.

Even at 10% loss I think it's still a bit faster than my old r5 3600, and will likely be in my pc for next 5 years or so. Unless games need cpu power all of a sudden

May get round to underclocking one day, if I can be bothered.

All 5800x run hot. Mine sits at 75/80c when gaming on air and will sit on it's 90c limit when encoding in handbrake. AMD says this is normal. I've undervolted and reduce the PPT limit, which has helped, but they're just hot MFs. The issue isn't with your cooler. Is that there isn't enough contact between the chiplet and the IHS, which makes getting the heat from the CPU to the cooler difficult.

Mine boosts to 4.95GHz single core and all core work loads sit at about 4.5GHz give or take.

Yeah I heard this the other day, Because all 8 cores are on one chiplet or something?? Which is why even the 5900x runs cooler despite more core and Watts.

How did you get your undervolt settings was it difficult? I never get why they don't come like that if they can manage it.
PPT is the amount it clocks to right

They have a broad range of environments/temperatures/setups they need to be able to work with. Lower voltages may work with one setup but not another. They create something that works with everything and then give you the tools to tailor it to your system.

I dropped 50 watts of power on my RTX 3080 FE by undervolting and actually gained performance.
