Are My CPU Temps Too High for the 7900X?
Asked by

I've got a Ryzen 7900X, and I'm noticing some pretty high temperatures. Even when idling, I'm seeing temps around 50-60 degrees Celsius, and under light load, they jump to over 70. During Cinebench, it consistently hits 95 degrees! I'm using a DeepCool AK620 air cooler, which should technically manage the heat. Should I be concerned about these temperatures, or is this normal?

Those temps are definitely on the high side! First, make sure you've got a decent amount of thermal paste applied. Also, check that the cooler is firmly attached to the CPU. What's the voltage setting at? It could also help to update CPU drivers—sometimes those can keep temps in check. Let me know if you need guidance with that.

CautiousUser21: I haven’t messed with the drivers or voltage settings yet. I think I applied enough thermal paste, but I could be wrong about the cooler’s efficiency. Can you help me set those things up?
