CPU running at max temps nonstop

[Jude Ceant]

The stuttering doesn't bother me too much but what does bother me is that no matter what setting I have it on, it forces my 7700x to run at 95 degrees max temp the minute I start the game. It's not the 7700x usual spike to 95 wither. It goes to max immediately and stays there consistently without dropping at all. I've already tried undervolting, changing coolers, reseating and reinstalling the game. No changes. It does the exact same for my brothers pc and he's using an aio.
I have an amd ryzen r7 7700x, rtx 4090, gskill trident 32gb ddr5, and running it on an m.2 hynix drive.

Maybe cap frame rate to like 90.

I thought that Ryzen 7000 CPUs were designed to run a 95'C.

You can limit the power to the CPU and make it cooler.
Or underclock and undervolt.

They are designed for high temps but like Jude, I didn't like seeing it either. You only lose a few % performance anyhow. So for me it's peace of mind really. Horses for courses at the end of the day.

Surely all of your other games do not reach 80c?

[ymo1965]

No, but it's a bit unnerving when the temps shoot up. Before this current build I was on an i7 8700k and an oldish Asus (pcie3) motherboard. Pretty old pc. Now I'm on a pcie5 board. So wasn't used to seeing my cpu go into meltdown lol. This new gen will take some getting used to. A lots changed.

It's nice to have an option like this in the bios. You certainly don't have to use it though.

Well that is why I said cap frame rate for this game specifically (to OP) to see what happens. Its pretty heavy all around on all cores.. And if the card can push higher frames (and the 4090 sure can) the hotter it will get. Was more curious than anything. But I get for you, you do not wanna go in and change bios settings to test. Myself would rather do that (cap frames to lower temp in a certain game) than have my cpu throttle/change frequencies. I have an intel 11600k at 5ghz.. Spikes to 75c at times.. Mostly hangs around 65. I globally cap all my games to 120.

Yeah absolutely. If I had bought one, I would dropped whatever was needed to reduce temps.

you need a 7800x ATLEAST

Have you tried setting the temperature limit in your bios. I have a 7700x as well and I did this to mine. I set it to 80c and now it doesn't go above that. I have a Gigabyte mobo but the procedure is the same.

Here's a quick guide..

Guys thank you for the advice but you're not hearing what i'm saying. The CPU is not spiking to 95 degrees for a couple seconds like its supposed to even though thats something i rarely see in other games at stock. My issue is that the cpu hits 95 degrees (sometimes moving up to 97) and stays there without dropping back down from the minute the game starts. Ryzen 7000 series is not supposed to do that. yes i can thermal limit the cpu but it still just hits the maximum and remains there nonstop without dropping.

I don't understand why you're saying that. I said earlier that that is what Ryzen 7000 is supposed to. It's designed to do that in default.

Ryzen 7000 under load is designed to ramp up the temperature to 95'C, and stay there. It's a design criteria.

If you're saying it only does this with Dead Space and not other games, then that is confusing but whatever.

I have no idea why you are arguing against this, but I am unsubbing since there's no point sticking around.

Here is the proof. There are loads of articles about it.

The only alternative with Ryzen 7000 that does not do this, are the Ryzen 7000 X3D models of CPU. That's because the v-cache is heat sensitive. The X3D chips run cooler, much cooler.

Ok I see what you're saying. Sorry if I came off sounding aggressive.

I played with a 7700X and had no issues, with a Noctua NH-D15.
Although I do have a limit of 105W (Package Power) instead of 145W or something, so this means it won't go over 80-85C when fully stressed (and still maintaining 99% of performance).
I guess that might have helped, but I didn't notice an unsual CPU usage or temps while playing, it was around 70C I think.

[CrushingCerberus]

Keeping my 5950x runs like 30-50 % load during the game and temps never go over 70 degrees using a cheapo EVGA 280 AIO ...

No worries. Probably me that should feel rough for maybe being a bit gruff - I don't know.

I never unsubbed, but I usually do after answering a question in a thread.


However you have nothing to worry about one two counts.

1. You can safely run your CPU as it is.
2. Or you can undervolt or limit the power max to the CPU. I think that's easy in AMD BIOS.
Optimum Tech Youtuber set a reduced power max for Ryzen 7000. They cut a lot of power from the default power max. The CPU barely lost any Hz in frequency, but the CPU ran much cooler.

Anyway I am off for sure now, so enjoy.
