I'd be ok with 95c at 65w than 95c at 240w.
Lol. For sure. Pretty much how my kid runs his AM4 gear. My daughter is still using a Ryzen 1400. She doesn't complain. RTX 2060 1080P, plays Skrym just fine. (That's what she likes) and it carried her right through high-school. (Just graduated). This runs like 70c lol. (Wraith Prism on everything
)
I aim for 70c on my bench table when possible. Doesn't matter what's plugged in.
AMD uses 70c as High temp alert. At least early Ryzen white papers say that. Newest aren't released yet. The user in the bios can manually set the fan profile only up to 75c. (At least on my AM4 gear, not certain if this is changed on AM5)
So at 70c, with a total default, clear cmos setup; the cpu cooler fan will be commanded 100% duty cycle to try and help prevent escalated temps on long durations. It doesn't know you're running a 3 minute CB test.
Maybe and Lucky for AMD intel is in a kinda weird spot right now....... I still was hoping for more than this after 2 years.... If that is unrealistic so be it.
I'm not worried about it.
And I use DryIce. Crazy higher voltages than most everyone. I break hardware. Processors, I've killed more delidding than actually brute force OC.
If I've clocked 150 different cpus, you can bet at least 25% have been LN2. 50% DryIce, the other 50% misc cooling otherwise.
Processors have been very difficult to break.
I didn't break my 2700X, delidded and TEC cooled 4ghz at 1.198v. Ran for a while under air and later sold at this very forum.... in working condition.
Love AMD. Always have. My fastest OC was 7685mhz LN2 with FX-8300 on a 48$ motherboard everyone at OCN said couldn't produce 2.0v or more. We'll, I figured out how to do it haha.
Anyways, Fk Intel. I'm simply non bias 100%. I love both AMD and Intel. I've always had AMD for my personal rig. My carry lappy is AMD 7350U with radeon 7 graphics.
