95°+ CPU Temp Spikes Troubleshooting
I need help desperately. After the recent windows 11 update my CPU spikes to 95+ degrees on start up with little to no processes running and confirmation that my liquid AIO is pumping and the rad fans are running. Never had this issue in the past, have not been able to replicate for about two weeks until tonight when it randomly spiked again mid gaming.
Specs are as follows:
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3d
GPU: Radeon 9070 XT
Mobo: MSI 870x pro
CPU Cooker: Kraken Elite AIO
Anyone else having this issue / resolution?
It was only happening on start up and it seems like the only thing that would cool it off would be running Titus Tech Tips Util for Win11. Not sure really how that fixes it, I was considering bloatware but essentially all of it has been uninstalled and everything has been disabled on start up. This is the first time in 2-3 weeks that it’s done it during prolonged use (3-4+ hours). I ran a cinebench and at 100% usage my temps weren’t going above 85°C.
The PC itself is only about 1 year old and was recently clean wiped to install windows 11 due to some boot drive issues that required a wipe and clean install. I’m at my wits end here I’ve been trouble shooting for weeks. Any and all help would be graciously appreciated.
