cpu temps are high!
Hey, I have a 5800x with a 3070 and when my shader's are building my cpu temps reach upwards 85 degree C. Does that happen to any one else? I feel like it's a bad thing. I recently just bought my pc so I'm still a little paranoid and overprotective of with about not getting cpu damaged. I also have a water cooler btw.

edit: my cooler is after market; My cpu temps are between 65-70 C while I play the game and stream. I guess the shader building is just very intensive.

don´t have a 5800x myself but a quick google says they can run hot. like 90c sustained and that´s fine says AMD so 85 isn´t dangerous.
Might want to search your specific cooler and see typical temps so you can compare.
But if you are below threshold for throttling it´s fine.

Also gpu´s and cpu´s will both ramp up fans and throttle performance to stay within safe spec.
CPU´s can even turn of the system if it gets to hot.

it´s very unlikely you will be doing stuff on the PC and suddenly you have damaged components from heat.
I had a pc with a dust choked cpu cooler ..all that happened was everything started stuttering like crazy even playing very non demanding games..cleaned out the fan and everything was fine again. everything in that pc survived long enough to be retired because it was to old to keep up with new games.

(*edit* not saying it might not be worth lowering temps, just saying it´s not going to kill your cpu anytime soon)

I got a 5600 non X. Only 6 cores but running fine to 4,4 GHz. And it is cooled by the boxed air-cooler. Never i got temps over 72. Not in games and not in a stess-rest. Seems you should take a look to your watercooling-Heatsink and if that is fitting correctly.

you're getting high temps during shader compilation because cpu is likely at full load getting the shaders into memory...during gameplay probably goes down. However, as stated, 85 on that cpu is fine

dude you need an aftermarket air cooler. the included coolers are only good at not letting your cpu completely melt but since they let it get so hot in the first place your cpu will constantly be throttling itself down to reduce temps and your cpu performance will suck in return. with an aftermarket cooler installed your cpu will run cooler and therefore be able to reach higher clocks by itself, plus youll extend its life and performance

This cooler is fine for my workload. No problems and looks great cause it uses RGB :) Fits perfect in my Black-Red illuminated system.
And 70° degrees are not too much for a 5600. It is able to run to 90° without damages.

The game is using AVX2 instructions so the CPU gets hot

It's normal. Compilation is very CPU intensive.
Invest in a better cooler for your CPU.

Get a cheap EVGA AIO and issue fixed

5800X3D 60ºC building shaders, 40-50ºC during gameplay at max settings.

Sounds like a cooler issue. Try repasting?

I have a R7 5700x which is basically the same CPU you have but with lower clock speeds. I don't go past 75c on Prime95.

Note I have the Hyper 212 Evo Black.

Got the same issue. Using 7600X + NZXT Kraken 280mm AIO. While the game loads at start and at main menu it hits 87-92 degrees... Is it fixable? Never had this issue with any other game. PC is builded 2 weeks ago, so repasting is not an option...

not normal at all check your mount

As i said i never meet simmilaro problem in any other game or software/benchmark.

Max temp that i saw was like 69 degrees under load

just let it build shaders it will ease off after a few minutes

all games that build shaders at launch make your cpu usage go up but then it drops when you finally play.
