91°C 7950x

This can't be normal.

AMD designed them to run that hot. They overclocked the hell out of everything to try to get every last bit of performance out of it, temperature, power usage, and longevity be damned. There are BIOS changes you can make that will make it run at a reasonable temperature.

Switch to eco mode in bios

I just did it.

From TechPowerUp:

"When our reviews of the Ryzen 7000 series went live last week, the buzz among tech forums and social media was surrounding its 95°C operating temperature, which the processor was found not just hitting quite often, but basically residing in, under nearly all serious processing loads. AMD made several statements around this temperature, the most notable of which, is that one shouldn't be alarmed with the 95°C load temperatures if the processor's basic cooling requirements are met, and should expect this to be its normal load temperature residency."

That's pretty wild honestly but at least you know it's not out of the ordinary for that chip. My 7800X3D runs around 60 to 65C in Dead Space but it's well known that the 3D cache chips are much more sensitive to voltage/temperature.

you need a better processor dude, it can't handle this game.

Seems like i solved the issue setting the CPU in Eco mode by Ryzen Master SW. I'm worried if i will lose performance

That is normal actually for the Ryzen 7000 non-3D series.

No. I set my 5900x to eco mode cause the normal temps make me uncomfortable.

Both the 5900x and the 7950x lose like 5% performance in eco mode. Almost nothing. And very few games will come close to pushing these CPUs to just 50% of what they are capable of. You'll be fine.

The only game that ever gave me trouble with eco mode was Spiderman PS4 port. Every other game was fine.

If i set the CPU on Standard mode with Ryzen Master and i also disable EXPO even if i still manually set my RAM memory at the highest frequency from the BIOS i get 81 C avg in games.

iD cooling frost flow liquid cooler ......best 55 dollar investment i made for my puter. Completely silent and cpu never breaks 55C. $55 bucks on amazon

Your system is 91 C or the GPU ? I'm using 13900k, Asus TUF 4090. I checked temps its 55 max playing this game. You have a good system, something is not right. Did you find an answer ?

7950x is 91 C.

7950x is 91 C.

I tried the game with a friends account on my 7700X with a 4090, CPU went up and down a lot but spiked past 95ºC, higher recorded temp was 100ºC on CPU CCD1. Went to power settings in windows and create a profile that only allow 99% of CPU usage and turbo was never used and performance lost was minimal but temps dropped to 60ºC.
This game is a stress test for the CPU for single digit gains at 4k.

Try it, it is better than messing with bios setting via software. Another alternative would be the typical SMT off. My AIO is a Fractal Celsius 36+ Dynamic, no other game did that to my system and i'm looking at denuvo or poor programming as a result, in no way would it result in such a small drop of FPS if the usage was integral for the game.

5% performance loss?!? Try 25-30% for eco mode ^^
Well, it does depend on which eco mode you activated (95W or 65W on the 7950x) but in every case you're looking a several times that "5%" loss.

As said by others, the 7950x is made to run around 90 degrees all the time and reduces its power consumption to keep it under its max safe temp of 95 degrees. The better your cooler, the better your performances, but a very bad cooler will only reduce your performances, it won't fry your CPU (Unless of course you made crazy overclocking, overvolted the CPU, removed the temperatures failsafes and used an out-of-order cooling system ;) )

Damn, my 5900x is absolutely crushing it with your claimed "25-30%" performance loss. I guess the 5900x was overkill to begin with. What a beast CPU.
