Hey, so I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with an 240mm AIO this one “ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 240 SNOW CPU”

Now I’ve returned a block cooler because I was worried about the temps being too high. So I got this AIO and again the temps were high so I convinced myself I hadn’t seated it correctly. Taken it off and reseated but still runs hotter than I want or would have thought. Disclaimer I over think and this may be one of those times.

So on boot it can get as high as 85 but mainly between 70-80.

Then sat at idle it’ll be 30-40 then random spikes up to 80.

Opening Visual Studio Professional and ramps up again but settles around 50 when coding.

Minecraft on 12 chunks render with optifine, hits 85 on load the. Hangs around 60 whilst playing.

Same for Factorio. But not tested any other games.

Happy to make some recordings if that would help.

Thanks

    Of note, My 3700x will spike to 75~ but it’s quite literally a spike, the 3x120mm fans go jet engine and quickly stabilize it at 55, 60 max on cyberpunk. Ambient temperature when idle.

    These Temps are well within the operating range over time. If it detects temperature, modern cpus will self throttle, and even shutdown. No shutdowns or throttling and you are fine.
