Hey all, so I just finished installing my 5900x last night, and I ran some tests.
Time Spy Extreme passed with no issues and no overheating. Then I launched Path of Exile, and temps soared to 94C.
The Cooler being used is a Cryorig H5A Universal, and even at full bore on the fans, the temps remained unchanged.
I reseated the cooler and reapplied Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme thermal compound with the same result.
It cools off very quickly after dropping the load, which means the cooler is making good contact. It idles around 45-50C in a room that is 24C.
Things of Note: I ran out of canned air, and the heatsink block is caked in dust. That means there is some headroom to be gained and potential for undervolting to keep the cooler a bit until I can afford to dump $130 on an AIO (My first one)
About how much difference would an extra fan in the back of the cooler in a push-pull config do? I have a few lying around, but I need some way to mount them to the cooler.
