  • To make you less anxious:

    A friend of mine had issues with his (much older) PC, stuttering in games and similar but it still worked

    When I took a look I found it was pegged throttling at 100deg after running for a while. This had been going on for months

    Eventually found the AIO pump had completely died, any cooling was due to passive conduction through the materials and water

    We replaced the cooler and now it’s been running fine for another 3 years and going

    TL:DR: modern CPUs can run hot, and safely boost. As it gets too hot it will start reducing clocks but it’s highly unlikely you damage anything unless you go out of your way to overclock, overvolt or ditch the cooler entirely


  • I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, especially with the weather as it is at the moment- my PC is getting about the same with a 3900x, nice noctua cooler and loads of airflow It’s been going over 30 in my office and even the best coolers can’t break that physics

    Check again when it cools down, might make it easier to see if/where there are issues
